Art Is Not What You Think It Is utilizes original research
to present a series of critical incursions into the current state
of debate on the idea of art, making manifest what has been largely
missing or unsaid in those discussions.
* Links museology, history, theory, and criticism to the
realities of contemporary social conditions and shows how they have
structurally functioned in a variety of contexts
* Deals with divisive and controversial problems such as
blasphemy and idolatry, and the problem of artistic truth
* Addresses relations between European notions about art and
artifice and those developed in other and especially indigenous
cultural traditions
