Transmissibility: Writing Aesthetic History is an exuberant inquiry into the moment—better still, the movement—of transmissibility that pushes aesthetic form over the edge of political praxis, andvice versa.How does art-worksurvive transitional life-worlds? How are we to think and write about ontological and historical immanence within aesthetic history? Jae Emerling accompanies his reader every step of the way in this exciting and erudite text: he works side-by-side with you to face the challenge of making sense of what it means to encounter art.

Very occasionally a writer will come along who changes what it might mean to write about art and culture, giving us the permission to take new liberties. In this dazzling, innovative and courageous book, Jae Emerling enacts a radical approach to thinking the intersections of the history and ontology of art. Proposing the concept of ‘transmissibility’ for an ‘aesthetic history’ that complicates the history of art and the history of aesthetics, he demonstrates a new way of thinking artworks as ontological-historiographical configurations, or ‘sense-events’. Rather than the presentation of a new discourse or manifesto, Emerling offers transmissibility as a concept kept in tension, refracted through aesthetic figures and conceptual personae, and continually recreated within the experience of creative acts. Here, experimental historiography meets experimental writing. Crossing an astonishing breadth of references and interlocutors across philosophy, the history of art, literature and critical theory, visual and material culture, Emerling inspires the field by which we think with art. In luminous prose, the book plays, tests, and even betrays its multiple sources, performing the anachronisms and transdisciplinary provocations it describes, deftly moving between modes and genres of writing – the aphoristic, the meditation, the dialogic, the confessional, the fictional – whilst keeping us within the singular thickness of ideas. What must writing do to affirm the becoming of art? How can we extract the virtual from the historical? Emerling addresses such issues as memory, time, destruction, imagination, love and failure whilst drawing us into the folds and intimacies of his thought, and the ceaseless ebbs and flows of an intellectual journey.Transmissibilityis a paean to how truly vital scholarship begins with the raw and unmediated experience of an author's real encounters; a love letter to reading without boundaries. Provocative, impassioned, searingly creative, this a book to help us envision the future of writing and thinking about art, its histories and theories, and its multifarious effects.

Jae Emerling has done the remarkable. He argues convincingly that transmissibility is both of and for aesthetics (where aesthetics is critical and transformative thinking), but that it isalsoof and forhistorytoo; which is to say, that it is attentive to both the ontologicalandthe experimental-creative historiographic properties of art. In all this, transmissibility is feral—as is Emerling in the shape of his thinking, his use of language’s materiality, and the rhythm of his writing, and thus what it does—as it (and he) cuts across fields and practices, problematising them, and our affective experiences of them too. How is it possible for Emerling to do all this? Read the book, it’ll blow your bloody doors off!

Descriere
This book examines transmissibility to remind us why the vitality and epistemic significance of an artwork is anachronistic and futural.
