Can one adequately appreciate an Assyrian regal statue described by a cuneiform inscription as beautiful? What to make of the apparent aesthetic richness of the traditional cultures of Melanesia, which, however, engage in virtually no recognizable aesthetic discourse? Questions such as these have been formulated and discussed by scholars of remote cultures against the backdrop of a general scepticism about the prospects of escaping the conditioning of one's own aesthetic culture and attuning to the norms of a remote one. This book makes a radical move: it treats the remote observers lack of aesthetic insight not as a hindrance to aesthetic analysis, but as a condition requiring an aesthetic theory that would make room for an aesthetic analysis independent of the model of competent aesthetic judgement or appreciation. Objects of Authority represents a rare effort at bringing together methods and concepts that are often addressed by separate disciplines. It will appeal to scholars and advanced students working on philosophical, art-historical, and anthropological theories of visual art and material culture.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aGeneral and world history2bicssc 7aHistory2bicssc 7aSocial and cultural history2bicssc  awriting; media; history1 aKorte, Barbara4oth1 aSennefelder, Anna Karina4edt1 aSennefelder, Anna Karina4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/9435070zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c93210d93210
