Jason Miller

The Politics of Perception and the Aesthetics of Social Change

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Connecting Hegelian aesthetics with contemporary cultural politics, Jason Miller argues that both the aesthetic and political value of art are found in the reflexive self-awareness that it enables. The significance of art in modern life is that it shows us both the particular element in humanity as well as the human element in particularity.
