The Persistence of Taste: Art, Museums and Everyday Life After Bourdieu

2017 | Art, Photography & Fashion

This book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of taste in the wake of Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of taste. It brings curators together with sociologists and art theorists and artists with design historians, art historians and cultural historians, with the common aim of developing rigorous and relevant ways to approach the practice of taste. The contributors to this book engage with the practice of taste as this relates to encounters with art, engagements with cultural institutions and the practices of everyday life in national and transnational contexts. While taking account of Bourdieu's legacy, the book addresses the larger question of why it became important to seek out the social value conferred by taste and whether this form of value will persist in future.
