Falk Heinrich

A Somaesthetics of Performative Beauty (eBook, PDF)

Tangoing Desire and Nostalgia

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book develops an original theory of performative beauty. Philosophical aesthetics has largely neglected one's own actions as a potential experience of the beautiful. The author uses own experiences of Argentine tango as a case study; one important incentive for social dancing is to have pleasurable and beautiful experiences.
