Críticas
"Democracy and the Arts is an informative book, both entertaining and thoughtful. If art, literature, and music do in fact mirror society at any given moment in time, Democracy and the Arts provides a forum to examine the interplay of democracy and the arts, a force the contributors feel still molds popular taste."-James Adomanis. History of Education Quarterly. Summer, 2000. "A fine mix of challenging reflections and opinions. . . This group of arguments and insights is valuable."-Choice "This volume. . . makes a major contribution to the much debated issue of the status of the arts in democratic America today."-Virginia Quarterly Review "An intriguing collection of essays. . . . Distinguished contributors. . . . The editors have taken great pains to select essays from a cross section of writers, traditions, and disciplines. . . . This should be of interest to scholars, academics, and institutions and individuals involved in artistic pursuits."-Library Journal "All of these essays are as entertaining as they are thoughtful. With its roots in popular sentiment, democracy will forever be entwined with art, a force that powerfully molds popular taste. Democracy and the Arts speaks elegantly to that relationship and reminds readers of its enduring importance. Democracy and the Arts is an outstanding contribution to popular culture studies and curriculum supplemental reading lists."-The Midwest Book Review
Reseña del editor
Politics has taken a cultural turn in America, and the arts are at the center of today's culture wars. In this book, some of our most prominent cultural critics explore the relationships between culture and politics as played out in the world of novels, television, museums, and even fashion. The authors-John Simon, Greil Marcus, Arthur C. Danto, and other well-known commentators from across the political spectrum-examine the arts in their relation to democracy and consider whether and how they serve one another. The authors consider such topics as high and popular culture in democratic America; the relation of democracy to classical, jazz, and folk music; and the artistic potential of the most democratic of all arts, the movies. All of the essays are as entertaining as they are thoughtful.With its roots in popular sentiment, democracy will forever be entwined with art, a force that powerfully molds popular taste. Democracy and the Arts speaks elegantly to that relationship and reminds readers of its enduring importance.
