The Fear of Aesthetics in Art and Literary Theory
New Literary History 48 (2):223-244 (2017)
Abstract
Is aesthetics, as has recently been claimed, now able to meet the accusations often levelled against it? This essay examines counters to three of the most common: that aesthetics is based around overly narrow conceptions of "art" and "the aesthetic"; that aesthetics is politically disengaged; and that aesthetics fails to engage with actual art objects and their histories.Author's Profile
