Aporias of modern aesthetics

In: New left review: NLR, Band no.184, Heft v/Dec 90

Abstract

Much of what goes by the name of post-modernism might be better described as post-avant-garde. It represents an epoch marked by the failure of the historical avant-garde's attack on the institutions of art. This failure sheds light on the role of art in bourgeois society. (Abstract amended)
