Synopsis

This volume gives important insights into art as an aesthetically powerful artifact that plays a vital role in the social, intellectual and affective lives of the people who make and use it. Based on field studies of hunter-gatherer, horticultural and pastoral peoples, it provides an account of questions regarding art in its cultural context.
