Presentation
The emergence of photography contributed, decisively, to sharpen the crisis of aesthetic categories. New productivities and discursive formations, along with new means of circulation and organization of objects, motivate a re-reading of Aesthetics as a methodology for apprehending the relation between things. The aim of this Course is to problematize this question, bringing together theoretical knowledge and analytical tools for the reading and representation of contemporary issues instilled by Aesthetics, as an expanded field for an ontological inquiry into the nature of technical gesture and its subjectivation in plastic language.
