Global Aesthetics and Its Discontents (original) (raw)

This paper explores the complexities of the aesthetic revolution, particularly through Jacques Rancière's ideas on the relationships between art and politics. It addresses the dichotomy of art's autonomy versus its integration into everyday life, emphasizing that the revolution occurs in the blurred spaces between these divisions. The discussion extends to the implications of this revolution for contemporary art and its societal context, particularly in relation to social inequality and the transformative potential of art in shaping community relationships.
