Assigning Cultural Values is a collection of thirteen essays focusing
on the analysis of cultural value in light of aestheticization or
aesthetic practices. Reflecting the fruits of the Research Council of
Norway’s comprehensive programme for cultural research (KULVER),
this anthology studies cultural phenomena not as static dimensions,
but rather as factors involved in negotiations and exchanges. By
examining the processes in which aestheticization is prominent, the
contributors show how the experience-based, relational, and perceptual
aspects of assigning cultural values come into focus. Each of the
essays offers unique perspectives on the value given to different
cultural phenomena, by focusing on their historically changeable
aspects, their reciprocal relationships, and their connection to
social contexts and power. Drawing on case studies from the fields of
cultural history, aesthetics, literature, film, gender studies, art
history and theory, design history, and museology, the collection
provides a wide-ranging and multifaceted analysis of how the
assignment of cultural values is changed, displaced, transferred, and
acquired, and will therefore interest all researchers and students
within the field of humanities.
