Description Art and Pornography: Philosophical Essays Author: Hans Maes, Jerrold Levinson Hardcover: 344 pages Publisher: Oxford University Press; 1 edition (February 7, 2013) Language: English ISBN-10: 0199609586 ISBN-13: 978-0199609581 Format: PDF  Summary: Art and Pornography presents a series of essays which investigate the artistic status and aesthetic dimension of pornographic pictures, films, and literature, and explores the distinction, if there is any, between pornography and erotic art. Is there any overlap between art and pornography, or are the two mutually exclusive? If they are, why is that? If they are not, how might we characterize pornographic art or artistic pornography, and how might pornographic art be distinguished, if at all, from erotic art? Can there be aesthetic experience of pornography? What are some of the psychological, social, and political consequences of the creation and appreciation of erotic art or artistic pornography? Leading scholars from around the world address these questions, and more, and bring together different aesthetic perspectives and approaches to this widely consumed, increasingly visible, yet aesthetically underexplored cultural domain. The book, the first of its kind in philosophical aesthetics, will contribute to a more accurate and subtle understanding of the many representations that incorporate explicit sexual imagery and themes, in both high art and demotic culture, in Western and non-Western contexts. It is sure to stir debate, and healthy controversy. [Amazon] Seed, Share, Gain knowledge || Don't forget to give thumbs up For any problem with my uploads or trouble with downloading, please PM me.
