Music and the Myth of WholenessToward a New Aesthetic Paradigm
In this book, Tim Hodgkinson proposes a theory of aesthetics and music grounded in the boundary between nature and culture within the human being. His analysis discards the conventional idea of the human being as an integrated whole in favor of a rich and complex field in which incompatible kinds of information—biological and cultural—collide. It is only when we acknowledge the clash of bod…

Die Vielfalt des VervielfältigtenBildgebende Verfahren in der Kunst der Neuz…
Gedruckte Bilder und abgeformte Bildwerke haben eines gemeinsam: Sie gehen auf 'Urformen' zurück, zu denen sie in einem spannungsreichen Verhältnis stehen. Auf mechanischem Wege – mit Hilfe einer Matrize, eines Models, eines Druckstocks oder einer Druckplatte – hergestellt, behaupten sie einen Ähnlichkeitsbezug zu ihrer Vorlage, von der sie sich doch zugleich in technischer, materieller …
