Kitsch, an aesthetic slur of the 19th and the 20th century, is increasingly considered a positive term and at the heart of today's society. Eleven distinguished authors from philosophy, cultural studies and the arts discuss a wide range of topics including beauty, fashion, kitsch in the context of mourning, bio-art, visual arts, architecture and political kitsch. In addition, the editors provide a concise theoretical introduction to the volume and the subject. The role of kitsch in contemporary culture and society is innovatively explored and the volume aims not to condemn but to accept and understand why kitsch has become acceptable today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMax Ryynänen\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer of Theory of Visual Culture and Head of the MA program Visual Culture and Contemporary Art in Aalto University (Helsinki\/Espoo). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaco Barragan\u003c\/b\u003e is an arts writer, curator and a PhD candidate at the University of Salamanca (USAL), Spain","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45278936563863,"sku":"9783031166310","price":10283.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783031166310.webp?v=1769292262","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-changing-meaning-of-kitsch-from-rejection-to-acceptance-9783031166310","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
