The central argument of the books offers an explanation of the theoretical limitations of the contemporary discourse concerning "political art," while at the same time illustrating historically how the European and American discourse of modern democracy and political economy developed an explicit stance against the conflation of art and politics. Exposing the unstated presuppositions about our modern liberal democracy, Craig Carson opens a new field of inquiry concerning the role of art, media, and televisual "theater" central to modern politics. 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y18th century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aEighteenth-Century Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aNorth American Literature 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 14$aEighteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 676 $a809.033 700 $aCarson$b Craig$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0937030 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255066403321 996 $aThe Aesthetics of Democracy$92110433 997 $aUNINA
