David Bowie Outlaw: Essays on Difference, Authenticity, Ethics, Art & Love de Alex Sharpe

David Bowie Outlaw: Essays on Difference, Authenticity, Ethics, Art & Love

Autor Alex Sharpe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 noi 2021

This book explores the relevance of David Bowie's life and music for contemporary legal and cultural theory.

Focusing on the artist and artworks of David Bowie, this book brings to life particular theoretical ideas, creative methodologies and ethical debates that have contemporary relevance within the fields of law, social theory, ethics and art. What unites the essays presented here is that they all point to a beyond of law: to the fact that law is not enough, or to be more precise, too much, too much to bear. For those of us who, like Bowie, see art, creativity and love as what ought to be the central organising principles of life, law will is insufficuent. In the face of its certainties, its rigidities, and its conceits, these essays call forth - through David Bowie - the monster who laughes at the law, who celebrates inauthenticity as a deeper truth, who explores the ethical limits of art, who cuts up the laws of writing, and embraces that which is most antithetical to law, love.

This original engagement with the limits of law will appeal to those working in legal theory and law and popular culture, as well as in art and cultural studies.

Recenzii

David Bowie Outlaw undoubtedly belongs with those few great texts on music that are equal to the wild glories that inspired their creation. It is as perfectly formed as a Mick Ronson riff. It's like the build from Suffragette City, funnelling and intensifying its own energies. You need to be a great act to pull off a thesis as bold as this: Bowie is a law giver but, unlike most law givers, Bowie’s law destroys the law: the only command is ‘create afresh’. Sharpe’s Bowie is a figure of ethics, or a spirit that knows its own wealth must be constantly squandered. This is not philosophy, this is not jurisprudence, this is a genocide of old ideas and dead forms. Here is the secret Sharpe shares with us: We are Bowie.
