Juliane Rebentisch – författare

The most comprehensive monograph on the work of Monica Bonvicini

The concept of democratic freedom refers to more than the kind of freedom embodied by political institutions and procedures. Democratic freedom can only be properly understood if it is grasped as the expression of a culture of freedom that encompasses an entire form of life. Juliane Rebentisch’s systematic and historical approach demonstrates that we can learn a great deal about the democratic culture of freedom from its philosophical critics.From Plato to Carl Schmitt, the critique of democratic culture has always been articulated as a critique of its ãaestheticization“. Rebentisch defends various phenomena of aestheticization Ð from the irony typical of democratic citizens to the theatricality of the political Ð as constitutive elements of democratic culture and the notion of freedom at the heart of its ethical and political self-conception.This work will be of particular interest to students of Political Theory, Philosophy and Aesthetics.

Die Theorie der Kunst steht heute vor enormen Herausforderungen. Die Grenzen zwischen den Künsten sind ebenso porös geworden wie die zwischen Kunst und Nichtkunst. Was aber definiert die Kunst, wenn sie nicht mehr zwingend durch die alten Gattungen bestimmt wird? Wie lässt sich dann überhaupt noch sinnvoll zwischen Werken vergleichen, wie über ihre Qualität urteilen? Und was heißt das alles für die Geschichte der Kunst? Was folgt aus der Destabilisierung der Grenze zwischen Kunst und Wirklichkeit? Gibt es in dieser Situation noch so etwas wie eine spezifische Politik der Kunst, und wenn ja, wie wäre sie zu denken? In dieser Einführung diskutiert Juliane Rebentisch die für die gegenwärtige Diskussion solcher Grundsatzfragen maßgeblichen Ansätze.

El arte contemporáneo goza de actualidad. Apenas hay ciudad que no tenga un centro dedicado a él. Existen multitud de cátedras y proyectos de investigación destinados a estudiarlo. Pero ¿qué significa exactamente el concepto de arte contemporáneo y a qué contemporaneidad hace referencia? Con este libro, Juliane Rebentisch se propone introducir, desde una teoría del arte entendida como proyecto crítico, un debate aún en curso sobre cuestiones que son fundamentales tanto a nivel teórico-artístico como estético. Sirviéndose de herramientas teóricas que provienen de la filosofía, de las disciplinas particulares de la ciencia del arte, de la crítica, de los curadores y de los artistas, su objetivo es contribuir al desarrollo de un concepto normativo del arte contemporáneo.
