Dialectica de la Estetizacion [Spanish]

By aa.vv.

Do we live in an aestheticized age? What does it mean to claim that politics, everyday life, truth, or even subjectivity have become aesthetic phenomena? Is this a form of domination or, conversely, an opportunity to rethink freedom and democracy? Aestheticization has become a key category for understanding contemporary experience. From mass culture and the commodification of life to transformations in politics and subjectivity, the diagnosis of a progressive aestheticization of the world occupies a central place in the philosophy and social theory of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This volume critically reconstructs the history of that debate and examines some of its most influential formulations. Engaging with critical theory, phenomenology, contemporary French philosophy, and recent German aesthetics, the essays collected here interrogate the relationship between art and life, aesthetic experience and democracy, and representation and trauma, as well as the role of aestheticization in an era marked by crisis and acceleration.
