Sociology of Art

Sociology of art is a subdiscipline of sociology that analyzes art as a social phenomenon. Moreover, in a globalized society, the nature of arts production, consumption and policy making is increasingly cosmopolitan, and arts are an important means for building social networks, challenging political regimes, and reaffirming and subverting social values across the globe. The book highlights the production and consumption of the arts, the social value of the arts, and analyses and critiques the impact and role of cultural policy and arts management.
