El traje del Emperador: Un análisis a la teoría institucional del arte

Abstract:

This work constitutes an analysis of George Dickie’s Institutional Theory of Art, an hypothesis which maintains that art is by nature institutional. In other words, the artwork, the artist and art itself are all products of a series of ideas and practices institutionalized by society. From this standpoint, if something is considered to be a work of art, it has become so as a result of the position it occupies within an institutional context or framework and not necessarily due to the intrinsic qualities of the work. Using Dickie's analysis as a basis, this paper questions some of the principles of Institutional Theory and reflects on the need for alternative proposals that facilitate an understanding of the complex nature of art.
