The fantasy of dismissing the other
– Orientalistic attitude to theorizing art

My thesis deals with the making science of the art and interrelated to that with the exercise of power. What kind of attitudes there are behind the science-making and to whom they are of use? In making science of the art there are accepted as basis facts, which can also be questionable. In theorizing art the production of evidence is made for to show it is important to the people instead of making clear how the art in reality is operating.
