Sommario/riassunto |
|
This text introduces the notion of a new aestheticism - 'new' insofar as it identifies a turn taken by some contemporary thinkers towards the idea that focussing on the aesthetic impact of a work of art or literature has the potential to open different ways of thinking about identity, politics and culture. |
