IDEOHUMANARTOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: Throughout history, art has been a means of various motives and aims. These differ from magic, religion, undestanding nature and imprinting new ideas into the minds of humans to aesthetic worries. However, no matter what art has as an aim, it has always managed to be the leading power of social and cultural changes in terms of its transformative quality over the society, the human and his mental perception of social and natural phenomena. Art, merely for this reason, has always had a political / ideological identity. That identity is sometimes the leading power in social and cultural transformation, and sometimes a tool for the acceptance and maintenance of values of a newly established political revolution and its order. Art, which is an inseparable part of human society, can never be free of an ideology as an ideology can never exist without art. In human history, just as every society has its own art conception, so every king of art possesses, whether directly or indirectly, an ideology or ideological function.
