In A Democratic Enlightenment Morton Schoolman proposes aesthetic
education through film as a way to redress the political violence
inflicted on difference that society constructs as its racialized,
gendered, Semitic, and sexualized other. Drawing on Voltaire,
Diderot, and Schiller, Schoolman reconstructs the genealogical
history of what he calls the reconciliation image-a visual model of
a democratic ideal of reconciliation he then theorizes through
Whitman's prose and poetry and Adorno's aesthetic theory. Analyzing
The Help (2011) and Gentleman's Agreement (1947), Schoolman shows
how film produces a more advanced image of reconciliation than
those originally created by modernist artworks. Each film depicts
violence toward racial and ethnic difference while also displaying
a reconciliation image that aesthetically educates the public about
how the violence of constructing difference as otherness can be
overcome. Mounting a democratic enlightenment, the reconciliation
image in film illuminates a possible politics for challenging the
rise of nationalism's violence toward differences in all their
diversity.
