Summary:

The impact of recent cultural theory has transformed the territory of traditional disciplines in the humanities including the methods and objects of the history, sociology and criticism of art. In this series of essays, on topics ranging from space in theory to the institutional spaces of art history, from the field of picturing in the nineteenth-century city to the terrain of the avant-garde, and from rogues' galleries to the zoot suit, John Tagg argues that the consequences of such theorizing are not just negative.
