Why has identity become so central to judging art today? Why are some groups reluctant to defend free speech within culture? Has state support made artists poorer, not richer? How does the movement for social justice influence cultural production? Why is post-modernism dominant in the art world? Why are consumers of comic books so bitterly divided?
In Culture War: Art, Identity Politics and Cultural Entryism, Alexander Adams delves into a series of pressing issues in today's culture, including:
- Censorship
- Islamism
- Feminism
- Identity politics
- Historical reparations
- Public arts policy
Through a series of linked essays, Culture War uncovers connections between seemingly unrelated events and trends in both high and popular cultures. From fine art to superhero comics, from political cartoons to museum policy, certain persistent ideas underpin the most contentious issues of our time.
Adams draws on history, philosophy, politics, and cultural criticism to explain the reasoning of creators, consumers, and critics, ultimately exposing some uncomfortable truths.
