This research aims to explore and systematize the main discussions that have arisen in the field of the sociology of art in the last fifteen years. Its objective is not to make a teaching manual from the new sociology of art, but to contribute to other works that have gone in the same direction. Rather, it is proposed to develop an analytical framework that provokes among those interested in studying the relationship between art and society, the search for sociological explanations to artistic problems, as well as artistic questions to ongoing sociological reflections. "I do not hesitate to affirm that this book constitutes a milestone in the reflection on art in the sociology of Latin America. There are of course important philosophers, social scientists and essayists in our environment who elaborated throughout the twentieth century important theoretical considerations about the space of art in society, but the reflection presented by Tomás Peters has the quality of rehearsing a global journey that is inspiring for all those interested in reflection on art and society. --Eduardo Nivón Bolán" (HKB Translation).
