Kitsch, an aesthetic slur of the 19th and the 20th century, is increasingly considered a positive term and at the heart of today?s society. Eleven distinguished authors from philosophy, cultural studies and the arts discuss a wide range of topics including beauty, fashion, kitsch in the context of mourning, bio-art, visual arts, architecture and political kitsch. In addition, the editors provide a concise theoretical introduction to the volume and the subject. The role of kitsch in contemporary culture and society is innovatively explored and the volume aims not to condemn but to accept and understand why kitsch has become acceptable today. Max Ryynänen is Senior Lecturer of Theory of Visual Culture and Head of the MA program Visual Culture and Contemporary Art in Aalto University (Helsinki/Espoo). Paco Barragan is an arts writer, curator and a PhD candidate at the University of Salamanca (USAL), Spain. 606 $aKitsch 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aKitsch. 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a709.04013 702 $aRyynänen$b Max 702 $aBarraga?n$b Paco$f1963- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bYDX 801 2$bGW5XE 801 2$bYDX 801 2$bEBLCP 801 2$bHTM 801 2$bN$T 912 $a9910720064203321 996 $aThe Changing Meaning of Kitsch$93359469 997 $aUNINA
