Forschungswerkstatt "Ästhetik&Kritik"

Atelier de recherche ESTHÉTIQUE & CRITIQUE
Forschungswerkstatt ÄSTHETIK & KRITIK
Research Workshop AESTHETICS & CRITIQUE

The initiative of this Research Workshop stems from the urgent need to circumscribe and redefine the role of aesthetics, the arts and their theorization at this given moment, both in relation to other formations of knowledge and in relation to society more broadly.

What are the critical functions of aesthetics today? How does the investigation of the sensible and embodied conditions of knowledge, the exploration of the imaginary grounds of social and political action or the engagement with artworks between autonomy and heteronomy contribute to renewing an old task: the self-criticism of sensible reason?

This First Fribourg Workshop in Aesthetics & Critique therefore aims to assemble and give voice to scholars from divergent scientific disciplines in an around Switzerland that share the aesthetic as their common if problematic ground.
