About this book
Reviews
“A well-designed collection of essays by a new generation of social scientists that highlights the ubiquity and considerable diversity of artistic productions, emotions and appreciations”
Pierre-Michel Menger, Collège de France, author of The Economics of Creativity. Art and Achievement under Uncertainty.
"With a treasure trove of studies ranging from food, dance and architecture, to opera, literature, and soccer, this collection provides the most wide-ranging and up-to-date overview of the vibrant and diverse new sociology of the arts. The editors’ decision to focus on Spanish-speaking authors is a much-welcomed intervention to open-up narratives, traditions and empirical cases that have been forced to live in the margins of the dominant Anglophone academic discourse. All in all, a must read for any scholar working in cultural sociology and the sociology of the arts."
Fernando Domínguez Rubio, University of California, San Diego, author of Still Life. Ecologies of the Modern Imagination at the Art Museum.
“This book arrives at the perfect moment in the evolution of research on culture. Our predecessors carved out the field of inquiry, built theories and methods, and expanded our definition of the arts; the moment to globalize the canon has arrived, and this book is an accelerant for that process. The twelve scholars authoring this volume work on topics both of enduring importance and recent popularity; use many methods of inquiry to explore their topic matter; and form part of a cohort of multi-lingual scholars who are essential to our future vibrancy as a discipline. Published first in Spanish, the book also poses a challenge to scholars: to find and share the strongest research with as many readers as possible. I rejoice in their accomplishments, and will be eager to teach this book to all students of culture”.
Jennifer C. Lena, Associate Professor and Program Director of Arts Administration at Columbia University, USA.
