La Estética de la transgresión


Book Description

Los artículos que componen el presente volumen, fruto de las Jornadas Internacionales del mismo título, se centran en el estudio y discusión de algunas de las formas teatrales que podrían ubicarse bajo el polisémico epígrafe de teatro de vanguardia, y suponen un acercamiento crítico a la complejidad de las vertientes dramáticas contemporáneas. El libro se estructura en diferentes apartados, que van desde las reflexiones teóricas de índole global o general, o acerca de la coexistencia de lo teatral con otras facetas artísticas, para pasar a incidir más adelante sobre la escena vanguardista en diferentes ámbitos, principalmente en los países de lengua española, francesa e inglesa. En definitiva, la obra viene a demostrar la riqueza y la versatilidad referencial que la experimentación de las vanguardias ha insuflado al Arte de Talía en el siglo XX, manifestando así que el teatro es un fenómeno vivo y dinámico, y por lo tanto, proteico. Que se alce, pues, el telón, para dejar paso a las disquisiciones teatrales que aquí se contienen, con la certeza shakespeareana de que el mundo es un escenario.




Without Criteria


Book Description

A Deleuzian reading of Whitehead and a Whiteheadian reading of Deleuze open the possibility of a critical aesthetics of contemporary culture. In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes and explores a philosophical fantasy: imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? Heidegger asks, “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” Whitehead asks, “How is it that there is always something new?” In a world where everything from popular music to DNA is being sampled and recombined, argues Shaviro, Whitehead's question is the truly urgent one. Without Criteria is Shaviro's experiment in rethinking postmodern theory, especially the theory of aesthetics, from a point of view that hearkens back to Whitehead rather than Heidegger. In working through the ideas of Whitehead and Deleuze, Shaviro also appeals to Kant, arguing that certain aspects of Kant's thought pave the way for the philosophical “constructivism” embraced by both Whitehead and Deleuze. Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze are not commonly grouped together, but the juxtaposition of them in Without Criteria helps to shed light on a variety of issues that are of concern to contemporary art and media practices.
