Contending a conceptual and social reality of a combined 'art/culture' , this book demonstrates that the failure to appreciate the dynamic totality of art and culture by its purported negators is due to almost all existing critiques of art and culture being defences of a 'true' art or culture against 'inauthentic' manifestations, and art thus ultimately restricting creativity to the service of the bourgeois commodity regime. While the evidence that art/culture enables commodification has long been available, the deduction that art/culture itself is fundamentally of the world of commodification has failed to gain traction. By applying a nuanced analysis of both commodification and the larger systems of ideological power, the book considers how the 'surplus' of art/culture is used to legitimate the bourgeois status quo rather than unravel it. It also examines possibilities for a post-art/culture world based on both existing practices that challenge art/culture identity as well as speculations on the integration of play and aesthetics into general social life. An out-and-out negation of art and culture, this book offers a unique contribution to the cultural critique landscape. 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aArts 606 $aCulture 606 $aCultural Theory 606 $aArts 606 $aGlobal and International Culture 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aArts. 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aCultural Theory. 615 24$aArts. 615 24$aGlobal and International Culture. 676 $a306.01 700 $aDee$b Liam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0964622 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300007603321 996 $aAgainst Art and Culture$92188557 997 $aUNINA
