Art in Public: Politics, Economics, and a Democratic Culture

Autor Lambert Zuidervaart
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 noi 2010
This book examines fundamental questions about funding for the arts: why should governments provide funding for the arts? What do the arts contribute to daily life? Do artists and their publics have a social responsibility? Challenging questionable assumptions about the state, the arts and a democratic society, Lambert Zuidervaart presents a vigorous case for government funding, based on crucial contributions the arts make to civil society. He argues that the arts contribute to democratic communication and a social economy, fostering the critical and creative dialogue that a democratic society needs. Informed by the author's experience leading a non-profit arts organisation as well as his expertise in the arts, humanities and social sciences, this book proposes an entirely new conception of the public role of art with wide-ranging implications for education, politics and cultural policy.

Recenzii

'[Zuidervaart] succinctly summarizes most major arguments in support of cultural goods or public art in economics and criticizes mundane economic arguments through thought-provoking philosophical contemplation.' Byung-Hee Soh, Journal of Cultural Economics
'The central aim of Lambert Zuidervaart's Art in Public can be stated in a phrase: to defend direct state subsidies for non-profit arts organizations … That art is currently in the stage of wholesale global institutionalization makes Zuidervaart's account of its relation to justice and democracy invaluable.' Philosophy in Review
