Essay 2 (8-10 pages)
(Reading: Rosenkranz, Aesthetics of Ugliness; Baudelaire, “A Carcass”; Rimbaud, Lettres du voyant)
Choose one of the topics:
1. Negative Aesthetics
How do we come to enjoy in art what in other contexts would be (merely) ugly, terrible, horrible, or even disgusting? Does art even have to be enjoyable? Explore these questions with reference to Rosenkranz’s Aesthetics of Ugliness and one other text we have read together. In addition, treat at least one work of art that you believe illuminates the issue.
2. The Division of the Arts
Classical aesthetics first collected the various arts under one concept. At the same time, it often relied on their strict separation. Modernism is on the contrary defined by expanding and even breaking the boundaries of artistic media. How may classical aesthetics still be applicable in this new situation? Apply a work of classical aesthetics (written before 1850) to at least one modern work of art (produced after 1850) that tests the limits of its medium, mixes media, or uses a new medium.
The paper should include at least one reference to a scholarly work on either the art, the theory, or the issue treated.
