Popularisation and Populism in the Visual Arts: Attraction Images

This book investigates the pictorial figurations, aesthetic styles and visual tactics through which visual art and popular culture attempt to appeal to"all of us"�. One key figure these practices bring into play-the"everybody"� (which stands for"all of us"� and is sometimes a"new man"� or a"new woman"�)-is discussed in an interdisciplinary way involving scholars from several European countries. A key aspect is how popularisation and communication practices-which can assume populist forms-operate in contemporary democracies and where their genealogies lie. A second focus is on the ambivalences of attraction, i.e. on the ways in which visual creations can evoke desire as well as hatred.
