First trade paperback edition (first printing). A fine copy in wrappers (paperback). A collection of intensive discussions about the role of visual arts in public life The past decade has seen American culture deeply divided by debates over social identity, public morality, communal values and freedom of expression. A key focus of these polarizing discussions has been the role of visual arts in public life. In Art Matters, five leading cultural critics and two prominent contemporary artists show the ways that this debate has profoundly reshaped our view of American culture. Lucy Lippard investigates the extraordinary recent transformations in visual art; Michele Wallace takes on high art, popular culture, and African American identity; David Deitcher discusses queer culture and AIDS; Carole S.

"Today, particularly with the introduction of new technologies and the expanding of existing ones, to assert that television is global is to utter a commonplace. To speak of 'global television' however is quite another thing. Global television refers not only to the international dissemination of television images, but also to the radical restructuring of television as a geopolitical concept. For television has created a space of its own through a unique merger of entertainment and information technologies. Allied with home computers, satellites, and conventional communications systems, television introduces more than just new signs and representations, it also establishes an important new political formation: a class structure based not on wealth, but on access to information" - from the Introduction.
