Under the rubric of a philosophy of the limit, and with reference to a range of signifying acts and events, this book asks what it takes to recalibrate a sociopolitical scene, shifting perceptions of what counts and what matters, of what can be seen and heard, of what can be valued or regarded as meaningful.The book thus argues for an aesthetics of transitional justice and makes an appeal for a postapartheid aesthetic inquiry, as opposed to simply a political or a legal one. Each chapter brings a South African artwork, text, speech, building, or social encounter into conversation with debates in critical theory and continental philosophy, asking: What challenge do these South African acts of signification and resignification pose to current literary-philosophical debates?Just ideas.Justice in literatureLaw and aestheticsLaw and ethicsTransitional justiceSouth AfricaAuthors, South AfricanAestheticsJustice in literature.Law and aesthetics.Law and ethics.Transitional justiceAuthors, South AfricanAesthetics.809.933554Clarkson Carrol1968-1684723MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808539703321Drawing the line4056349UNINA
