From Art to Politics : How Artistic Creations Shape Political Conceptions Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In this book, Murray Edelman continues his quest to understand the influence of perception on the political process by turning to the role of art.

He argues that political ideas, language, and actions cannot help but be based upon the images and narratives we take from literature, paintings, film, television, and other genres.

Edelman believes art provides us with models, scenarios, narratives, and images we draw upon in order to make sense of political events, and he explores the different ways art can shape political perceptions and actions to both promote and inhibit diversity and democracy.
