Ecosophical Aesthetics: Art, Ethics and Ecology with Guattari

Editat de Professor Patricia MacCormack, Colin Gardner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 dec 2019
Inspired by the ecosophical writings of Felix Guattari, this book explores the many ways that aesthetics - in the forms of visual art, film, sculpture, painting, literature, and the screenplay - can act as catalysts, allowing us to see the world differently, beyond traditional modes of representation. This is in direct parallel to Guattari's own attempt to break down the 19th century Kantian dialectic between man, art, and world, in favour of a non-hierarchical, transversal approach, to produce a more ethical and ecologically sensitive world view. Each chapter author analyses artworks which critique capitalism's industrial devastation of the environment, while at the same time offering affirmative, imaginative futures suggested by art. Including contributions from philosophers, film theorists and artists, this book asks: How can we interact with the world in a non-dominant and non-destructive way? How can art catalyze new ethical relations with non-human entities and the environment? And, crucially, what part can philosophy play in rethinking these structures of interaction?

Recenzii

A remarkable volume inspired by Guattarian ecosophy, advancing the complexity of ethico-aesthetic configurations and generating transversal flashes between carefully wrought contributions on multiple institutions and arts. Editors MacCormack and Gardner provide cartographies for creatively modifying existential territories, undertaken in the spirit of gentleness and modesty insisted upon by Guattari, and relevant to the responsibilities everyone is called upon to assume in the throes of the Anthropocene.
Ecosophical Aesthetics gathers an outstanding range of scholars who do not simply apply philosophy to questions of ecology, but allow the complexity of ecology to transform the ways in which we form philosophical questions. These essays will change the way we think about some of the most important questions of the future, including: what (and how) do we value and live in an age of threatened life?
