内容説明
What kind of property is art? Is it property at all? Jordanna Bailkin's The Culture of Property offers a new historical response to these questions, examining ownership disputes over art objects and artifacts during the crisis of liberalism in the United Kingdom. From the 1870s to the 1920s, Britons fought over prized objects from ancient gold ornaments dug up in an Irish field to a portrait of a Danish duchess. They strove to keep these objects in Britain, to repatriate them to their points of origin, or even to destroy them. Bailkin's detailed account of these struggles illuminates the relationship between property and citizenship, which has constituted the heart of liberal politics as well as its greatest weakness. Drawing on court transcripts, gallery archives, exhibition reviews, private correspondence - and a striking series of cartoons and photographs - The Culture of Property traverses the history of gender, material culture, urban life, colonialism, Irish and Scottish nationalism, and British citizenship.
This fascinating book should be required reading for cultural policy makers and museum professionals, and will benefit anyone interested in the history of art, law, and Britain.
