First published in 1983, Aesthetics and the Sociology of Art offers an account of aesthetics which is both sociologically informed and sensitive to the specific nature of cultural products.

This reissue (1975) is an examination of the theoretical foundation of the sociology of art and literature and an in-depth study in the sociology of knowledge. In discussing and clarifying some of the important philosophical issues in this field, the constant underlying reference is to the creative and artistic-expressive areas of knowledge.

∗ An original and accessible discussion of some of the most important issues in current debates about women and the arts. ∗ Janet Wolff considers and challenges the invisibility of women in sociological and literary accounts of modernity.

A great deal has changed in the ten years since the first edition of this book was published, an area of rather esoteric interest has become one of the major public battlefields of political and academic debate. Rejecting both the art historian's essentialism and the sociologist's reductionism, Janet Wolff argues in this new edition that the concept of the aesthetic must be rescued as much from those who would equate artistic value with politi...

Austerity Baby might best be described as an 'oblique memoir'. Janet Wolff's fascinating volume is a family history - but one that is digressive and consistently surprising. The central underlying and repeated themes of the book are exile and displacement, lives (and deaths) during the Third Reich, mother-daughter and sibling relationships, the gen

Janet Wolff is Professor of Arts at Columbia University. She is the author of several books, including Resident Alien: Feminist Cultural Criticism, Feminine Sentences: Essays on Women and Culture, Aesthetics and the Sociology of Art, and The Social Production of Art.

Feminism, poststructuralism, postcolonialism, Marxism, and other critical approaches have undermined traditional notions of aesthetics in recent decades. But questions of aesthetic judgment and pleasure persist, and many critics now seek a "return to aesthetics" or a "return to beauty." Janet Wolff advances a "post-critical" aesthetics grounded in shared values that are negotiated in the context of community, relating this to contemporary deba...

The three key periods considered in "AngloModern" are the early 20th century, when modernist art and existing and new realist traditions coexisted in a certain tension, the post-war period, in which modernism claimed superiority over realism, and the late 20th century, when a retrieval of the realist and figurative traditions seemed to occur. Wolff concludes by considering this re-emergence, as well as the limitations of earlier discussions of...
