Do aesthetic appeals to senses and emotions in political debate
necessarily marginalise political reason and reduce citizens to
consumers - thus dangerously undermining democracy? Or is
sensuous-emotional engagement, on the contrary, a basic fact of the
political process and a crucial precondition for revitalising
democracy? Aesthetics and Political Culture in Modern Society
investigates the current interrelationship between aesthetic
practice and political practice in Western democracies, focusing on
its impact on democratic political culture. Henrik Kaare Nielsen
argues that aesthetic interventions in the political process do not
by definition undermine politics' content of reason. Instead, a
differentiation must be made between a multiplicity of aesthetic
forms of intervention - some of which tend to weaken the political
judgement of citizens while other forms tend to stimulate competent
judgement. This book will be of interest to scholars in the fields
of political science, sociology, media studies, and cultural
studies.
