Název v původním jazyce

Arts, Ontology and Politics

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In this project, we will investigate the ethico-political significance of art, from two different, seemingly opposed, perspectives. The first perspective considers art as an ontological event, related to pure materiality (e.g., modern painting). The second examines the connection between aesthetics and political philosophy. The central thesis of our project is that both perspectives on art are complementary, even if they are opposed, because they demonstrate that it is problematic to consider art exclusively as a function of either ontology or the ethico-political. Starting point for this investigation is Levinas’ philosophy. In his reflections on art, Levinas thematizes the appearance of a bare materiality in modern art and in his defense of an ethics as first philosophy, he articulates a subversive dimension with regard to the politicization of aesthetics. Our project aims to go beyond Levinas’ philosophy by investigating the ontological and ethico-political meaning of contemporary art manifestations and by examining some writings of authors such as: Michel Foucault (Le courage de la vérité), Paul Ricoeur (Temps et récit), , Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe (La vérité sublime), Giorgio Agamben (Création et anarchie. L’oeuvre à l’âge de la religion capitaliste), and Judith Butler (Frames of War).
