What light can sociology shed on art and culture in contemporary
society? What is distinctive about the sociological understanding
of art? In what ways is the sociology of art today developing new
insights into the nature of artistic life? This volume contains
essays by a wide range of authors, each of whom is concerned with
showing the multiple ways in which artistic processes are
profoundly shaped by their social settings. Encompassing a wide
range of artistic fields, including painting, film, ballet and
architecture, the book demonstrates how sociological appreciations
of art and artists provide rich and stimulating alternative
perspectives to conventional art criticism.
