A major issue in the relation of art to the rest of society is the
question of how art penetrates politics. From the perspective of
most art scholars, this is a question of aesthetics-whether
politics necessarily pollutes and debases the quality of the arts.
From the perspective of social science, it has been primarily a
question of meaning-how political messages are conveyed through
artistic media. Recent work has begun to broaden the study of the
arts and politics beyond semiosis and content focus. Several
strands of scholarship are converging around the general issue of
the social relationships within which art takes political form,
that is, how art and artists do politics. This perspective of
"doing" moves analysis beyond addressing the meaning of culture, to
focus on the ways that art is embedded in-and intervenes in-social
relationships, activities, and institutions. This volume brings
together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from France and the
United States to investigate these directions and themes by
exploring the question of "how to do politics with art" from a
comparative standpoint, putting sociological approaches in
conversation with other disciplinary prisms. It will be of interest
to scholars of social movements and politicization, the sociology
of art, art history, and aesthetics.
