Art as language
G.L. Hagberg
Art as Language systematically considers the implications of the pervasive belief that art is a language or functions like language. This insightful book clarifies the similarities and differences between expression in speech and expression in art, and examines Wittgenstein's work on language and mind as it applies to several prominent aesthetic theories. Working from a Wittgensteinian perspective, G. L. Hagberg opens with a reexamination of some of the foundational aesthetic theorists of the earlier part of this century, including R. G. Collingwood and Susanne Langer. Focusing on the work of Arthur Danto, George Dickie, and Joseph Margolis, Hagberg discusses the philosophical presumptions and hidden complexities in recent theories of artistic perception, in theories concerning the nature of the art object, and in the institutional conception of the arts. Throughout Art as Language, he tests the claims of aesthetics against artistic practices in order to rethink the fundamental positions of the most important aesthetic theories of this century.

Ciclo de conferencias sobre el fotógrafo peruano Martín Chambi (1891-1973). Del editor: "Martín Chambi es uno de los máximos exponentes de la fotografía mundial. Con su depurado estilo retrató a la sociedad peruana de las primeras décadas del siglo XX y el paisaje tópico y utópico de este país a caballo entre las tradiciones ancestrales y el deseo de modernización. Este libro de la Fundación Telefónica rinde un homenaje a Chambi con este ciclo de conferencias en el que Carlos Gollonet, comisario de la muestra expuesta en 2006 y director del ciclo, reúne a los más destacados estudiosos de la vida y obra del fotógrafo peruano."
