Taking as its focus the erotic child in decadent aesthetics, this
book explores the sexual and political stakes of an
aestheticistexperience of rapture. Ohi examines the power of the
work of art to transport, to disorient, to move, to extort the
equivocal pleasuresof self-loss. He also explores how the beautiful
child offers partisans of 'art for art's sake' an emblem for the
ecstatic and erotic, even the queer possibilities of art.
Aestheticism's erotic child is thus in stark contrast to the
innocent child of today's ideology, who secures the claims of
identity against the very disorientations celebrated by
aestheticism. Articulating aesthetic transport through the desiring
and desired child, aestheticism interrogates the ideology
underpinning sexual oppression.
