Ästhetiken X.0 – Zeitgenössische Konturen ästhetischen Denkens: Tangled Humanism in the Afro-European Context

Ott, Michaela; Diop, Babacar Mbaye

The publication aims to make suggestions for a 'decolonisation of aesthetics'  within an Afro-European framework. The texts (whose authors come from different cultural contexts between Germany, France, Senegal, Benin, Nigeria and Tunesia) do not only refer to heterogenous aesthetic practices understood as subversive and decolonial strategies, but also discuss philosophical questions of a renewed (non-in)dividual humanism. The artistic practices analyzed include artistic installations and ensembles as well as actions in urban and rural space, deceptive manœuvres at the borders and their photographic documentation, and many more.
