Artists and cultural consumers / edited by Douglas V. Shaw, William S. Hendon, C. Richard Waits

Por: Colaborador(es): Detalles de publicación: Akron : Association for Cultural Economics, 1987Descripción: 302 pResumen: This is Volume III of three of the Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Cultural Economics held May 12-14, 1986 at the Palace of the Popes in Avignon, France. The twenty-six papers and one panel in this volume examine artists and those who consume what artists produce. They cover a great variety of topics and raise as many questions as they answer. They do what conference papers ought to do: they move our understanding forward and also chart the directions for future research. In this vein, William Baumol questions whether we can really talk about a true "market" for art works at all and suggests that prices "float more or less aimlessly" frustrating the best efforts of critics and investors alike. Sections II and III reveal much about the geographical distribution of artists in the United States and the manner in which artists interact with labor markets. The general conclusions are that artists are an urban lot, clustered on the east and west coasts and earn less than they would have earned if they had majored in what their parents wanted them to major in. But Filer shows that those who move out of the arts and into more remunerative endeavors seldom pay a very high economic price for their dalliance. Mon and Dad get to breathe easy in the end. The papers that deal with the consumption process approach that process from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. They draw on the work in economics, sociology, psychology, and aesthetics. They try to integrate knowledge in these disciplines to enhance our understanding of why people make the choices they do and how they are affected by those choices. An appreciation of how choices are made can influence the content of arts policy and the direction of subsidies and other forms of official encouragement. Section V deals with aspects of publishing. Papers cover such topics as the demand for books in different fields and by different types of people and the effect that regulatory policy regarding price has upon the structure of distribution networks. The next section singles out: three disparate problems that afflict the world of artists and art works. Writers probe the inequities of the United States tax code as it applies to artists and their outputs; the way nationalism and boosterism both encourage and impede the flow of art works across international borders; and the nether world of art theft, particularly recent developments in detection and in defining what ought to constitute clear title in a sea of murky pedigrees. The volume ends with a set of short papers presented in panel form. These papers attempt to formulate a social science of aesthetics. The hope is that the social sciences, like the humanities, can bring their analytical tools to bear on the determinants of taste. It is quests such as these that encourage scholars to leave the confining bonds of their disciplines and challenge us all to think in ways we have not thought before. That is why we publish papers; it is also why those papers are always intermediate steps to somewhere else. (Font: Introducció)
