Cover with signs of wear, otherwise in good condition, text clean. --- "In dialogue with some of the most interesting modern and contemporary philo- sophical figures, Bettina Funcke traces the divisions and alternations in twentieth- century art between high and low engagements with popular forms. She reveals fascinatingly how twentieth-century artists not only seek to engage the people but also problematize "the people" as a political and cultural construct." -Michael Hardt, co-author of Empire and Multitude -- "In this far-ranging, muscular book, Bettina Funcke persuasively argues for a renewed attention to the dialectical relationship between high culture and mass culture. Against the notion that the two domains have become wholly indis- tinguishable, Funcke posits a stubborn, even agonistic sphere still discernable between them; in her account, it is the praxis of "contemporary art" that both embodies and reflects upon this condition. Skillfully delivering a complex his- tory of the longstanding, slippery debates around hierarchical and repressive structures of culture, Funcke moves through two centuries of philosophical and art historical discourse. Tending to canonical and often contradictory- premises by authors including Buchloh, Derrida, Foucault, and Greenberg and to still-ambiguous and heavily debated artistic practices like those of Beuys and Warhol, Funcke's analysis extends, with great implication, into the philosophi- cal and artistic details of our own moment. In Pop or Populus, Funcke delivers a cohesive, suggestive narrative that takes up the central issues of contemporary culture and refuses to consider any history a closed case." - Johanna Burton, art historian and critic, Associate Director and Senior Facul- ty, Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study Program, New York. --- CONTENTS: Preface to the English Edition: Letter from New York - - INTRODUCTION - - The Printer Drawing Illustrations: A Collaboration with Wade Guyton - - I.
