Why has identity become so central to judging art today? Why are
some groups reluctant to defend free speech within culture? Has
state support made artists poorer not richer? How does the movement
for social justice influence cultural production? Why is
post-modernism dominant in the art world? Why are consumers of
comic books so bitterly divided? In Culture War: Art, Identity
Politics and Cultural Entryism Alexander Adams examines a series of
pressing issues in today's culture: censorship, Islamism, Feminism,
identity politics, historical reparations and public arts policy.
Through a series of linked essays, Culture War exposes connections
between seemingly unrelated events and trends in high and popular
cultures. From fine art to superhero comics, from political
cartoons to museum policy, certain persistent ideas underpin the
most contentious issues today. Adams draws on history, philosophy,
politics and cultural criticism to explain the reasoning of
creators, consumers and critics and to expose some uncomfortable
truths.
