Abstract

REBOK, María Gabriela. ¿Muerte del arte o estetización de la cultura?. Tópicos [online]. 2007, n.15, pp.55-75. ISSN 1666-485X.

This article proposes the discussion about the "death of art" and its consequences not only for contemporary art, but also for culture. The causes of this death and the new  figures which  art  adopted,  were traced  from Hegel,  across Benjamin, Nietzsche, up to Heidegger and Vattimo. Art goes across the tragic experience of nihilism, with its  epicentre in  "God's  death", to ground itself in new forms of freedom, which aesthetize- and democratize culture.

Keywords : Art; Nihilism; Liberty; Aesthetization; Democratization.
