[Frameworks] Letter / Context

[Gawthrop, Rob]

Gregg/Steven

Art cannot exist automonously, there will always be contexts (and agents).

Don't your "categories" come within aesthetics? i.e. as per Jacques Ranciere's definition:

"In its broad sense, however, aesthetics refers to the distribution of the sensible that determines a mode of articulation between forms of action, production and thought.  This general definition extends aesthetics beynd the strict realm of art to include the conceptual coordinates and modes of visibility operative in the political domain." p82 Ranciere J. Politics of Aesthetics, 2006, (Continuum, London)

Steven,
Isn't the fact that something is considered art at all strong evidence of a context? All of the questions about categories (genre, tradition, medium, style, movement) or aesthetics that are being discussed seem to come from that understanding.
