Book Description:
|
By treading the common ground between the arts, humanities and social sciences, The Art of Social Critiqueraises important questions about the role of art in society, and posits art as a qualitative form of social inquiry. The authors cover a range of artists whose methods of "seeing" social life -- observing, analyzing and portraying society -- draw on the sociological, psychological, historical, and political imagination.
