Espejo crítico de nuestro tiempo, el arte contemporáneo juega un papel crucial para cuestionar nuestra realidad histórica y plantear los problemas filosóficos de la sociedad actual. Por medio de un estilo ameno y elegante, y valiendose de ensayos que parten del arte y recorren otras disciplinas, Pol Capdevila nos sumerge en algunos de los dilemas filosoficos acerca del tiempo y nos muestra como afectan al desarrollo de nuestras vidas y de nuestra cultura. Espectros del tiempo penetra en debates trascendentales sobre nuestro tiempo historico, tales como la tirania del reloj, la aceleracion de nuestras sociedades, el desvanecimiento del pasado y la sensacion generalizada de un fin de la historia. En un constante dialogo filosofico con el arte contemporaneo, Pol Capdevila recorre las contradicciones y crisis de sentido de las sociedades contemporaneas, haciendo participe al lector de las dimensiones de la tragedia. ¿Por que la experiencia del presente ha perdido su consistencia? ¿Podran el pasado, el presente y el futuro articular una relacion productiva, que permita hacer avanzar la historia? ¿Podemos entender el tiempo como algo que se construye colectivamente, en lugar de padecerlo bajo la forma de una dramatica finitud? A traves de un enfoque que combina la hermeneutica del arte y la filosofia del tiempo, Espectros del tiempo es una obra fundamental para entender la relacion entre el arte, la historia y nuestra experiencia temporal en la sociedad contemporanea.

En un escenario dominado por la amnesia y el sonambulismo, las alucinaciones y las ensoñaciones, el sujeto burgués, cuya identidad parecía tan sólida, se revela habitado por máscaras que escapan a cualquier dominio, presa de un desdoblamiento que jamas podra recomponerse. Al final, la identidad del sujeto occidental resulta ser una figura sombria y constitutivamente doble, que vive solo en sus carencias y sus olvidos, en sus perdidas y sus distracciones. Inmemorial y, precisamente por eso, inolvidable.

Un cuerpo abierto: la escritura indaga, especula, comenta fragmentos, plantea suposiciones y dudas en torno a algunos microrrelatos de Kafka y Benjamin. A medio camino entre lo literario y lo filosófico, el centro de este libro es la pregunta por el objeto y el sentido de la escritura en dichos autores, pregunta que se despliega en una suerte de espacialidad conformada por ideas e imagenes en torno al cuerpo.¿Es el propio cuerpo una construccion: un refugio, una casa, una habitacion, una salida, un umbral, un laberinto? Pensarlo asi nos facilita la descripcion de un espacio que permite un movimiento constante, esto es, un lugar que siempre esta haciendose y en cierta medida horadandose, que se crea porque transita, porque es dinamico en cuanto construccion movediza. Con esto, se nos otorga la posibilidad de habitar o de recorrer la espacialidad, tanto del lenguaje como de la escritura, que elabora la tarea descriptiva de ese desplazamiento, de ese espacio, y que sera la que nos lleve a pensar en el caracter de lo vivo, ya sea de la obra, de las imagenes, de los personajes, de sus creadores o de la persona que vivencia y se enfrenta a todo esto.

Hay en el neobarroco nuestroamericano una doble operación, que es la que le da el título a este ensayo. Por un lado, de ingesta ritual, antropofágica, de nuestra tradición europea e indígena, urbana y canyengue, culta y marginal. Ingesta, asimismo, de las estrategias de seduccion del barroco, estrategias de deseo. Ingesta, por momentos voraz, de una tradicion que no es solo occidental: los neobarrocos son autenticos apropiadores de elementos de diversos universos culturales, desde mitos precolombinos a Haikou japoneses. Y asi como es ingesta y apropiacion laboriosa, el neobarroco es operacion de desacople de la ideologia reaccionaria postridentina. El barroco nuestroamericano se pliega a las luchas de los desheredados de la tierra a traves de una escritura plena de lujosos divertimentos pero consciente de los estragos de una emancipacion malograda, extraviada, fallida, con lo que el pathos de la rebelion no esta perdido. De ahi la necesidad del metal tajante que hunda su filo cuando la urdimbre se vuelva demasiado concesiva o viscosa. La hermeneutica neobarroca nuestroamericana, en su doble caracter de poetica y dispositivo lector, es asi (antropo)fagia, consumo selectivo. Y es (a)tajo, corte, incision.

In "The Philosophy of Fine Art," Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel offers a profound exploration of aesthetics and the nature of art within the framework of his idealist philosophy. This seminal work, published in the early 19th century, delves into the evolution of artistic expressions, examining how art embodies the unfolding of human consciousness and spirit. Hegel engages with various artistic formspainting, sculpture, music, and poetryanalyzing their historical significance and inherent dialectical development. His literary style intertwines rigorous philosophical inquiry with a deep appreciation for the nuances of artistic creation, situating art as a crucial component in the pursuit of absolute knowledge and self-realization. Hegel, a pivotal figure in German idealism, was heavily influenced by contemporary philosophical currents as well as the socio-political upheavals of his time. His engagement with figures like Kant and Fichte, along with the Romantic movement, helped shape his views on art as an expression of the sublime and the metaphysical. Hegels belief in the transformative power of art reflects his broader philosophical system, where reality is understood as a dynamic process of development and reconciliation through conflict. This book is highly recommended for those seeking a deeper understanding of arts philosophical underpinnings. Hegels insights offer an enriching perspective not only for scholars of philosophy and aesthetics but also for artists and art enthusiasts eager to grasp the intricate connections between artistic expression and human experience. "The Philosophy of Fine Art" is essential reading for anyone interested in the profound questions surrounding beauty, creativity, and the human condition.

A arte sempre se interessou pela realidade, mas limitou-se a imitá-la (arte clássica), a questioná-la (arte moderna) ou a transformá-la (arte engajada), entre outras perspectivas. Em todos os casos, era como se o real estivesse do outro lado da arte, aspecto inquestionavel, a espera da representaço. Este livro contraria essa premissa ao explorar a arte como um jogo de expresses possiveis, que desnuda perspectivas, interpretaçes, projeçes hermeneuticas. Marcos Beccari convida a compreenso dos olhares sobre o real, com uma proposta sobre sua natureza instavel, instantaneo, insignificante e suas relaçes com a arte na pratica das (in)compreenses possiveis. Quem busca mera digresso poetica, encontrara uma ensaistica erudita e sofisticada; quem espera uma escrita academica e impessoal, se surpreendera com o vigoroso testemunho da pratica artistica.

Este libro insiste en una pregunta actual e intempestiva, luego de tantos diagnósticos que la daban por agotada en todas sus fases: la pregunta por el arte. Pero al mismo tiempo, a través de ese objeto, su autor abre una pesquisa sobre el sistema del mundo contemporaneo y logra colocar a la critica de arte sobre la tela de fondo de una filosofia, de una ciencia politica, de una economia que utiliza para comprender la magnitud que alcanza la pregunta sin respuesta acerca de que es el arte de hoy. "En este volumen se trabajan con maestria algunas cuestiones fundamentales para la comprension del estado del arte actual, como el tan visitado pero nunca resuelto problema de la autonomia o heteronomia, la subjetividad autoral en un mundo tecnificado en el que la generacion de imagenes es cotidiana o la potencia de la creacion de cara al Antropoceno. Asimismo, Borisonik soluciona con una claridad insuperable la confusion o asimilacion contemporanea entre el diseño y el arte. Asi, describe los trazos de un mundo que muta: digitalizacion de la experiencia vital, literalidad, neoliberalismo, el lugar del cuerpo. Y lo hace en dialogo con tradiciones y reflexiones que van de la metafisica al psicoanalisis y de Aristoteles a McKenzie Wark, pasando revista de los grandes movimientos de las ultimas siete decadas. La necesidad del autor es la necesidad del mundo actual, o lo que queda de el, es la urgencia de poder decir si a la vida, al arte y a la filosofia, de sostener la pregunta justa y luchar contra las respuestas inmediatas. No por pasiones disciplinares o policiacas, sino por una exigencia temblorosa que insiste frente a todo pronostico. Si la pregunta por el arte es la pregunta por el estado del mundo presente y su peligroso futuro, este libro es una muestra de lo que la filosofia aun puede sostener. Su lectura fluye de manera atrapante, sostenida por la pasion y la tension de una escritura que mantiene en vilo a quien la afronta, desde su comienzo en la Bienal de Venecia hasta su crucial afirmacion final" (Fabian Ludueña Romandini).

In "On the Significance of Science and Art," Leo Tolstoy presents a profound examination of the roles that science and art play in society.
