Against price within the Arts and schooling proposes that it is usually the staunchest defenders of paintings who do it the main damage, through suppressing or mollifying its dissenting voice, by means of neutralizing its painful truths, and through instrumentalizing its ambivalence. the result's that instead of increasing the autonomy of suggestion and feeling of the artist and the viewers, art’s defenders make paintings self-satisfied, or differently an echo-chamber for the constrained and proscribing self-description of people’s lives lived in an “audit culture”, a tradition pervaded by means of the direct and oblique excrescence of practices of responsibility.

This e-book diagnoses the counter-intuitive results of the rhetoric of price. It posits that the auditing of values pervades the cloth of people’s work-lives, their schooling, and more and more their daily event. The e-book uncovers figures of resentment, disenchantment and alienation fostered via the dogma of price. It argues in its place that price judgments can behave insidiously, and comprise aesthetic, moral or ideological values essentially against the “value” they purportedly identify and describe. the gathering comprises contributions from prime students within the united kingdom and US with contributions from anthropology, the historical past of paintings, literature, schooling, musicology, political technology, and philosophy.

Historia natural del alma (La balsa de la Medusa nº 164) (Spanish Edition)

En los albores del tercer milenio se ha obviado el alma. Los poetas y los artistas, en una curiosa sustitución, ya sólo se interesan por su doble, el cuerpo, soma, que antaño significaba el cuerpo «inanimado», sin vida, el cadáver. Los filósofos parecen pensar que se trata de un tema que ya es historia, apenas útil para las antologías.
