«En estos tiempos de miserias omnipresentes, de ciegas violencias, de catástrofes naturales o ecológicas, podría parecer que hablar de la belleza es incongruente, inconveniente, provocador, casi un escándalo. Pero precisamente por todo esto, vemos que, en oposición al mal, la belleza se sitúa en el otro extremo de una realidad a la que debemos hacer frente». FRANÇOIS CHENG Estas cinco meditaciones, que originalmente fueron cinco sesiones orales, constituyen un breve pero intenso diálogo entre la estética occidental, fundamentalmente la renacentista, y la estética oriental, en especial la china, que nos adentra en el misterio de la belleza como luz y como espíritu.
Beauty today is a paradox. The cult of beauty is ubiquitous but it has lost its transcendence and become little more than an aspect of consumerism, the aesthetic dimension of capitalism. The sublime and unsettling aspects of beauty have given way to corporeal pleasures and 'likes', resulting in a kind of 'pornography' of beauty. In this book, cultural theorist Byung-Chul Han reinvigorates aesthetic theory for our digital age. He interrogates our preoccupation with all things slick and smooth, from Jeff Koon's sculptures and the iPhone to Brazilian waxing. Reaching far deeper than our superficial reactions to viral videos and memes, Han reclaims beauty, showing how it manifests itself as truth, temptation and even disaster. This wide-ranging and profound exploration of beauty, encompassing ethical and political considerations as well as aesthetic, will appeal to all those interested in cultural and aesthetic theory, philosophy and digital media.
