Undoing Aesthetics

Beschreibung

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.

Autor

Wolfgang Welsch is professor of philosophy at the Otto-Von-Guericke University in Magdeburg. He is the author of many works in German, two of which will shortly be available in English translations: Aesthetic Thinking; and Our Postmodern Modern (both forthcoming from The Humanities Press).
