Kagan Sacha - Art And Sustainability Connecting Patterns For A Culture Of Complexity - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: What is the cultural dimension of sustainability? This book offers a thought - provoking answer with a theoretical synthesis on "cultures of sustainability". Describing how modernity degenerated into a culture of unsustainability to which the arts are contributing Sacha Kagan engages us in a fundamental rethinking of our ways of knowing and seeing the world. We must learn not to be afraid of complexity and to re - awaken a sensibility to patterns that connect. With an overview of ecological art over the past 40 years and a discussion of art and social change the book assesses the potential role of art in a much needed transformation process.
