Responding to the question whether the artist is a relic of the feudal mode of production or is a commodity producer corresponding to the capitalist mode of cultural production, Beech reveals, instead, that the history of the formation of art as distinct from handicraft, commerce, and industry can be traced back to the dissolution of the dual system of guild and court. This essential history needs to be revisited in order to rethink the categories of aesthetic labour, attractive labour, alienated labour, nonalienated labour and unwaged labour that shape the modern and contemporary politics of work in art.Country/Region of Manufacture: USBook Series: Historical Materialism Book SeriesGenre: Business & FinanceTopic: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
