Art practices based on objects are displaced by practices based on contexts. Aesthetic distinctions dissolve as artworks are inserted into the media, urban spaces, digital networks, and social forums.

It examines how artistic projects become part of other logics (e.g., the market, the media, politics, social movements) and how art is modified in the process.\" -- Nigel Rapport * American Anthropologist *\u003cbr\u003e\"Garcia Canclini’s insightful study crosses disciplinary divides and hence will appeal to scholars in the social sciences and humanities from a wide range of academic backgrounds. Anthropologists, sociologists, art historians and cultural critics, particularly those focused on Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula, have much to gain from reading this book. Literary critics, historians, philosophers and economists whose interests rest in contemporary aesthetics and the art market will also find value in this study.\" -- Resha Cardone * The Latin Americanist *\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eArt Beyond Itself\u003c\/i\u003e...probes art’s struggles to redefine itself in a globalized world in which previously discrete categories of aesthetic and social experience are ever more blurred. With this book García Canclini, one of Latin America’s foremost intellectuals, both expands his already considerable presence for English-speaking audiences and provides a powerful new analytical approach to contemporary art.\" -- Robin Adèle Greeley * Critical Inquiry *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations        ix   Preface.
