Aesthetic Injustice

Auteur
Dominic McIver Lopes is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and University Killam Professor at the University of British Columbia. He has written about pictures and their values, new technologies in the arts, the nature of art, and the nature and significance of aesthetic value. His recent work provides a framework for modelling the social conditions that underlie many forms of aesthetic and artistic agency.

Résumé
The diversity of the aesthetic ecosystem enriches our lives. In Aesthetic Injustice, Lopes argues that our interests in diversity also give us a role to play in preserving and enhancing it. This account sheds new light on cultural appropriation, ideals of bodily beauty, and state support for the aesthetic cultures of minority groups.
