Riassunto

Each one of the 34 readings in this text is derived from rigorously collected field data, and addresses the major questions about art in small-scale societies: what does art do, what meanings does it convey, who makes it, how is it conceptualized by those who use it, and how does it change with the passage of time? Over 100 illustrations provide visual references and the text represents a wide variety of cultures, art forms (not only visual arts but performing arts as well), authorial voices, and theoretical models. For artists, sociologists, undergraduate and graduate readers.

Product Description

This volume gives important insights into art as an aesthetically powerful artifact that plays a vital role in the social, intellectual and affective lives of the people who make and use it. Based on field studies of hunter-gatherer, horticultural and pastoral peoples, it provides an account of questions regarding art in its cultural context. This third edition includes many new illustrations and an updated guide to additional reading in each chapter.
