ART AND THE CHALLENGE OF MARKETS VOLUME 2 GEBUNDEN

Art and the Challenge of Markets Volumes 1 & 2 examine the politics of art and culture in light
of the profound changes that have taken place in the world order since the 1980s and 1990s. The
contributors explore how in these two decades  the neoliberal or market-based model of
capitalism started to spread from the economic realm to other areas of society. As a result 
many aspects of contemporary Western societies increasingly function in the same way as the
private enterprise sector under traditional market capitalism.This second volume analyses the
relationships of art with contemporary capitalist economies and instrumentalist cultural
policies  and examines several varieties of capitalist-critical and alternative art forms that
exist in today's art worlds. It also addresses the vexed issues of art controversies and
censorship. The chapters cover issues such as the culturalization of the economy  aesthetics
and anti-aesthetics  the societal benefits of works of art  art's responsibility to society 
artivism  activist arts as protest and capitalism-critical works  and controversies over nudity
in art  as well as considering the marketisation of emerging visual arts worlds in East Asia.
The book ends with the a concluding chapter suggesting that even in today's marketized and
commercialized environments  art will find a way.Both volumes provide students and scholars
across a range of disciplines with an incisive  comparative overview of the politics of art and
culture and national  international and transnational art worlds in contemporary capitalism.
