The Limits of Art: high culture in Hollywood
This translation of the first chapter of Canadian cultural sociologist Shyon Baumann's Hollywood Highbrow : from Entertainment to Art focuses on how Hollywood film came to be perceived as art due to social change. The text analyses the socially constructed nature of the criteria that determine what is and what is not a work of art in the field of film.
Keywords: sociology and film, sociology of film, Hollywood, American cinematography
