Aesthetic theory in the West has, until now, been dominated by
ideas of effect, autonomy, and reception. Transformative Aesthetics
uncovers these theories' mutual concern with the transformation of
those involved. From artists to spectators, readers, listeners, or
audiences, the idea of transformation is one familiar to cultures
across the globe. Transformation of the individual is only one part
of this aesthetic phenomenon, as contemporary artists are
increasingly called upon to have a transformative, sustainable
impact on society at large. To this end, Erika Fischer Lichte and
Benjamin Wihstutz present a series of fresh perspectives on the
discussion of aesthetics, uniting Western theory with that of
India, China, Australia, and beyond. Each chapter of Transformative
Aesthetics focuses on a different approach to transformation, from
the foundations of aesthetics to contemporary theories, breaking
new ground to establish a network of thought that spans theatre,
performance, art history, cultural studies, and philosophy.
