5.0.0 Art, Media and Culture - OverviewVersion 1.4 July 2016 (Previous Version) ( Paragraph 1 Trans Error: Unknown )There is an almost infinite variety of stories that we can find in the arts, media and culture. ( Paragraph 2 Trans Error: Unknown )Here we focus on the arts and media. Of course, culture involves more than just the arts and the media, but the systematic study of how culture per se influences us personally and as societies is part of the sciences (such as psychology and sociology) and history. In Part 5 we don't make separate conclusions about those aspects of culture. ( Paragraph 3 Trans Error: Unknown )The “known knowns” in art and media relate mostly to methods. We teach techniques and style in art school or journalism courses. It is more difficult to teach what makes good content! ( Paragraph 4 Trans Error: Unknown )The best art explores not just what we know, but what we don't know, the “known, and unknown, unknowns”. Fictional stories, including the allegorical stories in religion, don't need to be scientifically true or historically valid to provide insight. We learn. ( Paragraph 5 Trans Error: Unknown )But it is imperative that we don't distort the known truths to tell a story. A detailed story about heroism in war shouldn’t be distorted to show “our boys” to be the good guys, when in the historically real story the heroes are from another country. ( Paragraph 6 Trans Error: Unknown )------------------------- ( Paragraph 7 Trans Error: Unknown )The introduction has a short summary of our conclusions regarding art and the media (see 0.3.5). The longer overview below covers the same conclusions in slightly more detail ( Paragraph 8 Trans Error: Unknown )Part 5 Art and Media: Conclusions (long version 1.2 March 2012) ( Paragraph 9 Trans Error: Unknown )Art and media – music, dance, literature, poetry, painting, radio, movies, TV, newspapers, magazines, the internet, and a myriad others – entertain, challenge and inform. ( Paragraph 10 Trans Error: Unknown )● All techniques are permissible in art. We aren’t restricted to realism, surrealism, representational or abstract, nor to oil on canvas or stone as compared to digitized images or experiential creations. ( Paragraph 11 Trans Error: Unknown )● Art can be created and distributed though all forms of media: galleries, concerts, the streets, road shows, the internet, or whatever. ( Paragraph 12 Trans Error: Unknown )● Art can be self-expression – the artist presenting works, ignoring their impact on the audience – or communication – an attempt to pass on a message. ( Paragraph 13 Trans Error: Unknown )● Artistic works can be perceived to be within a local or a global tradition, exemplifying or extending that tradition, or to be breaking out of that tradition, to provide new insights. ( Paragraph 14 Trans Error: Unknown )● Overall, art must be authentic – motivated by truth, to express or communicate, rather than solely for prestige or commercial gain. ( Paragraph 15 Trans Error: Unknown )● Art provides a huge variety of models for behaviour, to emulate or deplore. It explores moral dilemmas, confronts us with difference, and can provide insight, to see things from another’s point of view, and show us how we might react. ( Paragraph 16 Trans Error: Unknown )● Art can express the otherwise inexpressible, some of our innermost feelings. ( Paragraph 17 Trans Error: Unknown )● Art can also be just for fun. ( Paragraph 18 Trans Error: Unknown )● The media, print or broadcast, must focus on telling the truth, and avoid creating misleading impressions of the nature of life, humanity, society or celebrities. ( Paragraph 19 Trans Error: Unknown )● News, current affairs and documentaries, especially, must be balanced, correctly reflecting the weight of the evidence and the uncertainties in each view presented. more ( Paragraph 20 Trans Error: Unknown )
