Aisthesis: Outside of History (Lyotard´s Idea of Aesthetic Existence)

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2009

Abstract

The contribution follows Jean-Francois Lyotard´s Idea of 'aisthesis'. Lyotard states that an aesthetic element inevitably escapes perception because this element cannot be captured as an object.

The 'matter' of an artwork is thus 'immaterial'.
