    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisAlthough, initially, dealing with specifically pedagogical issues arising out of debates within the philosophy of education, the main thrust of this book tackles the more fundamental questions concerning communication, dialogue and solitude. Irony and Singularity introduces aesthetics into higher education not as an academic discipline among others but as part of a wider strategy to re-orientate teaching. Although focused on the manner in which art and aesthetics are taught within the context of the art school, the book raises wider and more central issues within pedagogy, challenging the currently dominant models rooted in science and the humanities. Engaging with a wide range of philosophers and philosophical traditions often ignored in the philosophy of education, Peters questions the resistance of the aesthetic object to language, communication and instruction and claims that the philosophical acknowledgement of incommunicability coupled with the demand for communication allows uTable of ContentsContents: Preface; Teaching the unteachable: method and manner in Kant's aesthetics; Aesthetic education or aesthetic ideology?

  • Aesthetics and Political Culture in Modern

    Taylor & Francis Aesthetics and Political Culture in Modern

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisDo aesthetic appeals to senses and emotions in political debate necessarily marginalise political reason and reduce citizens to consumers thus dangerously undermining democracy? Or is sensuous-emotional engagement, on the contrary, a basic fact of the political process and a crucial precondition for revitalising democracy? Aesthetics and Political Culture in Modern Society investigates the current interrelationship between aesthetic practice and political practice in Western democracies, focusing on its impact on democratic political culture. Henrik Kaare Nielsen argues that aesthetic interventions in the political process do not by definition undermine politics' content of reason. Instead, a differentiation must be made between a multiplicity of aesthetic forms of intervention some of which tend to weaken the political judgement of citizens while other forms tend to stimulate competent judgement.This book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of political scTrade Review'A great deal of writing on art and politics these days is interested in arts only as a form of political resistance. Alternately, there is a strain of study which circumvents big P politics, concentrating on "community" and "conversation" and "process" as ends in themselves. In Aesthetics and Political Culture in Modern Society, Nielsen does something different. He reaches back to classical democratic and aesthetic theory to argue that art can facilitate the necessary conditions for democratic politics on a macro scale. For anyone interested in moving past resistance, or creating change that goes beyond micro-communities, this approach is essential.' - Stephen Duncombe, Co-Director of the Center for Artistic Activism and Professor of Media and Culture, New York University'Criticizing neoliberal technocratisation and the overall process of aestheticisation while at the same time showing the potentials of aesthetic practice in generating genuine political judgement, this book is an eye-opening analysis of different kinds of current aesthetic intervention within public space. Theoretically brilliant and powerful.' - Birger Steen Nielsen, Professor, Roskilde University, DenmarkTable of Contents1. Introduction 2. Politics and democracy 3. Public space and late modern forms of public practice 4. Political and aesthetic discursive practice 5. Power-oriented aesthetic interventions in politics 6. Artistic interventions in the field of political practice 7. Current developmental perspectives of public discourse
