In The Value of Aesthetics, Alanna Cant explores how one family’s workshop in the village of San Martin Tilcajete has become the most critically and economically successful, surpassing those of neighbors who use similar materials and techniques. The dominance of this family is tied to their ability to produce a new aesthetic that appeals to three key 'economies of culture': the tourist market for souvenirs, the national market for traditional Mexican artesanias, and the international market for indigenous art. Offering a new analytical model by which anthropologists can approach visual aesthetics and conceptualize the power of artworks as socially active objects, The Value of Aesthetics shows how aesthetic practices produce and redefine social and political relationships. By investigating the links between aesthetics and issues of production, authorship, ownership, and identity, Cant shows aesthetic change to be a process that ultimately repackages everyday life into commodified objects in Oaxaca."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The alluring thing itself -- Aesthetics of work in woodcarving -- Authorship and its consequences -- Artesanias into ethnic art -- The art of indigeneity -- The allure of art and intellectual property -- Conclusion: at the end of the aura -- Appendix: a note on names. 650 0 $a Indian wood-carving $z Tilcajete. $z Tilcajete. 650 0 $a Indians of Mexico $x Material culture $z Tilcajete. $z Tilcajete. 650 0 $a Wood-carving industry $z Tilcajete. $z Tilcajete. 650 0 $a Aesthetics $x Economic aspects $z Tilcajete. $z Tilcajete. 650 0 $a Culture $x Economic aspects $z Tilcajete. $z Tilcajete. 650 7 $a Culture $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00885064 650 7 $a Indian wood-carving. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969282 650 7 $a Indians of Mexico $x Material culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969589 650 7 $a Wood-carving industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01179474 651 7 $a Mexico $z Tilcajete. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01884178 830 0 $a Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long series in Latin American and Latino art and culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020013.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E02C7D09FDF11EA86A3D44697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
