Identity Theft: Cultural Colonisation and Contemporary Art

"Identity Theft asks some tough questions about the use and place of art in the early twenty-first century: How has it been appropriated as a form of advertising or corporate identity? How is it made the vehicle of novel nationalisms and historical re-inventions engineered by nation-states and their current ideologies of identity and cultural value? At the same time, with a cold eye, its contributors consider whether contemporary artists are in any position to resist these forms of incorporation, or even have any desire to."--BOOK JACKET.Harris, Jonathan is the author of 'Identity Theft: Cultural Colonisation and Contemporary Art', published 2008 under ISBN 9781846311031 and ISBN 1846311039.
