Knowledge claim
1. Do "knowledge claims" and "claims to authenticity" in the context below mean literally "to state to contain knowledge or have authenticity (while it has not been proved)"?
2. Does "with an instrumental view of culture" imply "to view culture from an instrumental viewpoint"?
Context:
One of the central issues concerning a return to meaning in the sociology of the arts is the question of any knowledge claims made in forms of representation. How might knowledge be expressed and communicated in artworks, how might such claims be received in their public reception, and how might they be evaluated by more
distanced observers and analysts? The production of culture has primarily conceptualized this matter within claims to authenticity, taste, and distinction, all of which can be conceived with an instrumental view of culture, as fabrication or as resource, part of a tool kit.
