Undoing Aesthetics

By Wolfgang Welsch

Book Overview

In this discussion of the aesthetic in everyday life the aesthetic codes of advertising, architecture, the Internet and everyday images are used as examples of the disorientation which a multiplication of codes creates. Welsch proposes untangling the aestheticization of everyday life' and replacing it by more meaningful and durable categories.
