Aesthetics

  • "Einige werden posthum geboren"by Marco Brusotti; Renate Reschke

    De Gruyter 2012; US$ 154.00

    Nietzsche?s thinking is unparalleled in its contradictory effects and it continues to be relevant. Even today, opinions on him diverge strongly. Throughout the 20th century, philosophies, art movements and political ideologies have oscillated between euphoria and condemnation, affirmation and an ignoring silence. Incorrect and abusive readings in fascist... more...

  • Administration of Aestheticsby Richard Burt

    University of Minnesota Press 1994; US$ 78.00

    The "new" censorship of the arts, some cultural critics say, is just one more item on the "new" Right's agenda, and is part and parcel of attempts to regulate sexuality, curtail female reproductive rights, deny civil rights to gays and lesbians, and privatize public institutions. Although they do not contest this assessment,... more...

  • Adolf Loosby Joseph Masheck

    I.B.Tauris 2013; US$ 44.00

    Widely regarded as one of the most significant prophets of modern architecture, Adolf Loos was a celebrity in his own day. His work was emblematic of the turn-of-the-century generation that was torn between the traditional culture of the nineteenth century and the innovative modernism of the twentieth. His essay ?Ornament and Crime? equated superfluous... more...

  • Adorno and Literatureby David Cunningham; Nigel Mapp

    Continuum International Publishing 2006; US$ 130.00

    Despite the recent upsurge of interest in Theodor Adorno's work, his literary writings are generally under-represented. However, literature is a central element in his aesthetic theory. Bringing together original essays from a distinguished international group of contributors, this book offers a wide ranging account of the literary components of... more...

  • Adorno's Positive Dialecticby Yvonne Sherratt

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 48.00

    This book offers a radically new interpretation of the work of Theodor Adorno. In contrast to the conventional view that Adorno's is in essence a critical philosophy, Yvonne Sherratt traces systematically a utopian thesis that pervades all the major aspects of Adorno's thought. more...

  • Aesthetic Afterlivesby Andrew Eastham

    Continuum International Publishing 2011; US$ 110.00

    Since the development of British Aestheticism in the 1870s, the concept of irony has focused a series of anxieties which are integral to modern literary practice.

  • Aesthetic Anxietyby Laurie Ruth Johnson

    Editions Rodopi 2010; US$ 72.00
