About this course
This course will examine "art worlds" the social activities through which paintings, photographs, music, theatre, dance, literature and other arts are produced - from the perspective of the social sciences and related disciplines. Attention will be given to works of art, audiences, stylistic conventions, evaluative processes and systems of arts distribution. This course will also consider the impact of new technologies on the ways that art is produced and distributed and the ways that we think about and respond to new and traditional art forms.
