This volume brings together essays from distinguished scholars in a
variety of disciplines - philosophy, history, literary studies, art
history - to explore various ways in which aesthetics, politics and
the arts interact with one another. Politics is an elastic concept,
covering an oceanic breadth of mechanisms for conducting relations
between empowered groups, and these essays offer a range of
perspectives, including nations, classes, and gendered subjects,
which examine the imbrication of politics with arts. Together they
demonstrate the need to counteract the reductionist view of the
relationship between politics and the arts which prevails in
different ways in both philosophy and critical theory, and suggest
that the irreducibility of the aesthetic must prompt us to
reconceive the political as it relates to human cultural activity.
