audiobook Ethiopia Photographed: Historic Photographs of the Country and its People Taken Between 1867 and 1935 by Richard Pankhurst in Arts-Photography

Description

Originally published in 1984; this study deals with a number of influential figures in the European tradition of Marxist theories of aesthetics; ranging from Lukacs to Benjamin; through the Frankfurt School; to Brecht and the Althusserians. Pauline Johnson shows that; despite the great diversity in these theories about art; they all formulate a common problem; and she argues that an adequate response to this problem must be based on account of the practical foundations within the recipients own experience for a changed consciousness.
