Course Content: 

At the first stage the main reference sphere and methodology of sociology of art and fundamental approaches are discussed. In terms of the sociological perspective of art, its conceptual features; the changing position, status, meaning and role of art and of the artist in accordance with social conditions; and art qualification and aesthetic values throughout the social evolution process are scrutinized and the relationship between aesthetic values and other social institutions (as economics, politics and religion) is examined in art qualification. The problematic of art’s universality is being discussed and within this frame leading theories in literature are analyzed.
