Katya Mandoki

Everyday Aesthetics

Prosaics, the Play of Culture and Social Identities

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Starting from Dewey's pragmatism and biologically inspired philosophy, Mandoki updates key debates in aesthetics to project them into the realm of a socio-aesthetic inquiry. She argues that in every process of communication, whether face to face interactions or through the media, fashion, marketing, or political propaganda, there is always an excess beyond the informative and functional value of a message: this excess is the aesthetic. Teachers and students interested in qualitative analyses in humanities and social sciences will find an original, precise and insightful proposal in this book.
