To help overcome the initial barrier caused by this ?strangeness?, the general reader is given an initial, non-technical description of the ?aesthetic of the strange? as it is experienced in the reading or viewing process. There follows a broad survey of modern and postmodern trends, illustrating their staggering variety and making plain the manifold methods and strategies adopted by writers and artists to ?make it strange?. The book closes with a systematic summary of the theoretical underpinnings of the ?aesthetic of the strange?, focussing on the ways in which it differs from both the earlier ?aesthetic of the beautiful? and the ?aesthetic of the sublime?. It is made amply clear that the strangeness characteristic of modern and postmodern art has ushered in an entirely new, ?third? kind of aesthetic ? one that has undergone further transformation over the past two decades. Beyond its usefulness as a practical introduction to the ?aesthetic of the strange?, the present study also takes up the most recent, cutting-edge aspects of scholarly debate, while initiates are offered an original approach to the theoretical implications of this seminal phenomenon. 410 0$aPostmodern studies ;$v42. 606 $aPostmodernism 606 $aArt, Modern$y20th century 606 $aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArt and literature$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aPostmodernism. 615 0$aArt, Modern 615 0$aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$xHistory 615 0$aArt and literature$xHistory 676 $a809.9113 700 $aGrabes$b Herbert$0695554 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777710203321 996 $aMaking strange$93828322 997 $aUNINA
