Oktatás célja

Within the disciplinary framework of the sociology of culture, this course will focus on the sociology of art. Main goal of the course is to discuss the various sociological approaches of art and to acquire a critical thinking of the field of cultural production and consumption.

Tantárgy tartalma

The sociological approach of art interprets works of art as forms, reflections and sometimes critiques of social practices. Besides discussing the history of the discipline of the sociology of art, as well as the most significant theoretical approaches within it, a special attention will be given to the sociological interpretation of the concepts of the artist, institutions and the audience, moreover to the complex relationship between them. As a special case study, at the end of the semester we will discuss the topic of (socially engaged) public art.
