Book La destituzione filosofica dell   arte

Download or read book La destituzione filosofica dell arte written by Arthur C. Danto and published by Mimesis. This book was released on 2020-07-23T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pubblicato nel 1986, La destituzione filosofica dell’arte costituisce uno dei maggiori contributi della cultura angloamericana all’estetica del secondo Novecento. In quest’opera, Danto elabora una filosofia della storia dell’arte di matrice hegeliana, il cui motore di sviluppo viene identificato nell’aspirazione dell’arte stessa a trovare la propria essenza. Tappa decisiva dell’itinerario criticofilosofico dell’autore, questo libro affronta, intorno al nucleo teorico della “fine dell’arte”, anche altri problemi cruciali dell’estetica contemporanea, quali l’apprezzamento e l’interpretazione delle opere d’arte, il rapporto della filosofia con la letteratura e dell’arte con il testo, fino a intrecciare l’arte e la sua storia con la teoria darwiniana dell’evoluzione.

Book La trasfigurazione del banale

This book was released on 2021-10-21T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La trasfigurazione del banaleè un viaggio tra espressionismo astratto e pop art, arte concettuale e minimalismo, racconti di Borges e quadri di Bruegel, poesie di Auden e grandi nomi del pensiero filosofico. In pagine divenute un imprescindibile punto di riferimento per i critici contemporanei, Danto tenta di cogliere l'essenza dell'arte rifiutando la tesi tradizionale della sua 'non definibilità'. A 'far la differenza' sonole relazioni che legano la 'cosa' a elementi che l'occhio non può cogliere: «un'atmosfera di teoria artistica, una conoscenza della storia dell'arte», un 'mondo dell'arte'. Tradotto in tredici lingue, è il libro che ha suscitato le più accese discussioni nella filosofia dell'arte e nell'estetica, dal dopoguerra a oggi.

Book Threadsuns

    Book Details:
  • Author : Paul Celan
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2005
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 296 pages

Download or read book Threadsuns written by Paul Celan and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of Paul Celan's most important books of poems, Threadsuns follows the Green Integer press publication of Breathturn, which received international critical acclaim. Consisting of 105 poems, arranged in five cycles, Threadsuns was composed between September 1965 and June 1967. If Breathturn was the opening gambit of Celan's "turn," the entry into the late work, then Threadsuns - the volume that may have received the least amount of commentary and analysis to date - may be said to be not only an extension or continuation of the previous volume, but the full-blown realization of Celan's late work."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Cool Memories

Download or read book Cool Memories written by Jean Baudrillard and published by Verso. This book was released on 1990 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean Baudrillard's last book was about America. His new one is about cats, Foucault, Alfa Romeas, leukemia, Catholicism, the Berlin Wall, mattresses, Laurent Fabius, Jean-Paul II, roses, Antarctica, Lech Walesa, mud wrestling, Zinoviev, porn films, snow, feminism, Rio, Jacques Lacan, Stevie Wonder, Palermo, DNA and terrorism. "Cool Memories is the other side of America, the disillusioned side, presented in the form of a diary, though not in the classical sense. I'm trying to grasp a world in all its silences and its brutality. Can you grasp a world when you're no longer tied to it by some kind of ideological enthusiasm, or by traditional passions? Can things "tell" themselves through stories and fragments? These are some of the questions posed in a book which may seem melancholic. But then I think almost every diary is melancholic. Melancholy is in the very state of things."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book Strategic Conspiracy Narratives

Download or read book Strategic Conspiracy Narratives written by Mari-Liis Madisson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic Conspiracy Narratives proposes an innovative semiotic perspective for analysing how contemporary conspiracy theories are used for shaping interpretation paths and identities of a targeted audience. Conspiracy theories play a significant role in the viral spread of misinformation that has an impact on the formation of public opinion about certain topics. They allow the connecting of different events that have taken place in various times and places and involve several actors that seem incompatible to bystanders. This book focuses on strategic-function conspiracy narratives in the context of (social) media and information conflict. It explicates the strategic devices in how conspiracy theories can be used to evoke a hermeneutics of suspicion – a permanent scepticism and questioning of so-called mainstream media channels and dominant public authorities, delegitimisation of political opponents, and the ongoing search for hidden clues and coverups. The success of strategic dissemination of conspiracy narratives depends on the cultural context, specifics of the targeted audience and the semiotic construction of the message. This book proposes an innovative semiotic perspective for analysing contemporary strategic communication. The authors develop a theoretical framework that is based on semiotics of culture, the notions of strategic narrative and transmedia storytelling. This book is targeted to specialists and graduate students working on social theory, semiotics, journalism, strategic communication, social media and contemporary social problems in general.

Book Celan Studies

    Book Details:
  • Author : Peter Szondi
  • Publisher : Stanford University Press
  • Release : 2003
  • ISBN : 9780804744027
  • Pages : 156 pages

Download or read book Celan Studies written by Peter Szondi and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Szondi's Celan Studies marked the beginning of critical work on Paul Celan, the most important German poet of the second half of the twentieth century. The book's three studies each concentrate on a different Celan poem. "The Poetry of Constancy: Paul Celan's Translation of Shakespeare's Sonnet 105" investigates a historical turn from a poetry that claims to present its object to a poetry that only promises to do so. "Reading 'Engführung'" follows the movement of poetic language into territory undisclosed to epistemic reason. "Eden" addresses "Du liegst," a poem on the murder of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht; Szondi actually was with Celan when the poem was written. It analyzes the relation between the historical facts to which a poem refers and its composition. The book contains, as appendixes, Szondi's notes for three more projected studies of Celan poems, left unwritten at the time of his death in 1971.
