Art and the Challenge of Markets Volumes 1 & 2 examine the
politics of art and culture in light of the profound changes that
have taken place in the world order since the 1980s and 1990s. The
contributors explore how in these two decades, the neoliberal or
market-based model of capitalism started to spread from the
economic realm to other areas of society. As a result, many aspects
of contemporary Western societies increasingly function in the same
way as the private enterprise sector under traditional market
capitalism. This second volume analyses the relationships of art
with contemporary capitalist economies and instrumentalist cultural
policies, and examines several varieties of capitalist-critical and
alternative art forms that exist in today's art worlds. It also
addresses the vexed issues of art controversies and censorship. The
chapters cover issues such as the culturalization of the economy,
aesthetics and anti-aesthetics, the societal benefits of works of
art, art's responsibility to society, "artivism", activist arts as
protest and capitalism-critical works, and controversies over
nudity in art, as well as considering the marketisation of emerging
visual arts worlds in East Asia. The book ends with the a
concluding chapter suggesting that even in today's marketized and
commercialized environments, art will find a way. Both volumes
provide students and scholars across a range of disciplines with an
incisive, comparative overview of the politics of art and culture
and national, international and transnational art worlds in
contemporary capitalism.

of contemporary Western societies increasingly function in the same

considers a broad range of national cultural policies from European
and North American countries, and examines the strengthening of
international and transnational art worlds in music, visual arts,
film, and television. The chapters cover cultural policy and
political culture in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany,
France, Switzerland, the Nordic countries, the Balkans, and
Slovenia, and address the extent to which Western nations have
shifted from welfare-state to market-based ideologies. Tensions
between centres and peripheries in global art worlds are
considered, as well as complex interactions between nations and
international and transnational art worlds, and regional variations
in the audiovisual market. Both volumes provide students and
scholars across a range of disciplines with an incisive,
comparative overview of the politics of art and culture and
national, international and transnational art worlds in

In international research, metafictionality and other metaliterary
features have typically been regarded as phenomena related to
postmodernist fiction, in particular -- Metaliterary Layers in
Finnish Literature, however, discusses the metalayers of Finnish
literature from the early 20th century to the present. By analysing
different genres of Finnish literature in varying historical
contexts Metaliterary Layers in Finnish Literature provides an
abundance of new information on Finnish literature and its
metaliterary phenomena for everyone interested. In the articles of
this book, the metalayers of literature are discussed in
experimental prose and poetry as well as in popular fiction and
children's literature.
Since the 1960s, the Western sphere of art has given up modern
aesthetics that held that the sphere of art should be independent
of the spheres of economics, cultural industry, politics and
practical utility. In contrast to a conception of art such as this,
the contemporary sphere of art has firmly become rooted in its
societal-cultural environment. In particular, it is widely
interlaced with the spheres of public sector, economics, mass
media, philosophical reflection, scientific research work, people's
everyday life and practical social action. In particular, an
increasing marketisation and managerialism is characteristic of the
contemporary sphere of art. The book on hand critically considers
the shift from the modern to the contemporary sphere of art. It
suggests that the contemporary sphere of art can be understood as a
complex societal and cultural system whose internal system-likeness
is on the decrease. At the same time it is vital a and dynamic
sub-system of contemporary society, and, as such, it possesses an
amazing capacity to renew.
