Although its a difficult one to write on, look at: aesthetics, hi or low art, the art establishment and those within or outside, outsider art, ethnographic work / studies of ethnography. Folk art is western ethnography. Opening section needs more work.
• Second half also needs more argument strengthened by triangulation and theory. Needs more texts of this type.
• It is an aesthetic argument, why not consider the argument of high and low aesthetics? the common aesthetics? (in political or social contexts of aesthetics, and how social status fits into that
• Just be careful of opening sentences, transitioning into new paragraphs
——
Neneh said I should look at this reference from a cop lecture on culture...
• The Making of the English Working Class by E. P. Thompson
• Culture Civilisation and Tradition by Matthew Arnold and F. R. Leavis
• Culture proper vs. popular culture
• Authentic culture vs. Mass culture - Adorno and Horkheimer, Frankfurt School
What is authentic culture? - real, European, multi-dimensional, active consumption, individual creation, imagination, negational (compared to the passive populous movement of mass culture) <-- folk art is a form of authentic culture.
