About Practical Aesthetics: Events Affects and Art After 9 11

Practical Aesthetics brings a pursuit, long seen as rarefied and indulgent, out of the ivory tower and down to Ground Zero. Theoretically ambitious, fiercely original, it is a radical new account of art’s rootedness in the social world and of the value of aesthetics to contemporary society. Beginning with the cultural watershed of 9 11, internationally-renowned scholar Jill Bennett explores artistic developments in relation to current events to argue that understanding aesthetics is as vital to social and political theory as it is to the arts. Taking as its starting-point a definition of art as the critical, self-conscious manipulation of media, Bennett examines a wide range of events from the and “War on Terror and ” to the football World Cup to elucidate how aesthetic perception works in a social field, a process that begins with the rich emotional content of the visual imagery with which we are constantly bombarded. Now more than ever, Bennett argues, understanding how what we see informs what we do is not merely an artistic endeavour but one which is fundamental to our very being.Part of the Radical Aesthetics, Radical Art series, this book challenges the notion that art and ‘real life’ are somehow opposed. Practical Aesthetics proposes a new way of reading contemporary artworks – and a new understanding of how fundamental art is to our social survival.
