Nation and Aesthetics

On Kant and Freud

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Nation and Aesthetics shows curious connections between nationalism and aesthetics through examining various fields such as art, language, and religion. This connection is not accidental, but inherent. Nation connects capitalism and the state, thus creating the problematic modern social formation of capital-nation-state.
