ReNew Marxist Art History can play a small role in the much larger - TopicsExpress



          

ReNew Marxist Art History can play a small role in the much larger project of rejuvenating art history and reconnecting it to the political debates of our own time, insofar as it will better enable readers to see how the contexts that give meaning to works of art, past and present, are not static, but instead politically and socially contested. Coming to terms with the underlying material dynamics of this ongoing contestation over what art is, who it is for, and what, if anything, it might do is an important first step towards countering the twined ideas that haunt contemporary debates: that art belongs to the rich, and that the history of art has nothing to offer political activists.
