READING GROUP

The ART Reading Group is conceived of as a meeting place for students, PhD students and scholars with different backgrounds and as an opportunity for studying, learning and discussing on the international debates in aesthetics. Every meeting will be two hours long and will be guided by a member of the ART board. The meetings will be in presence, but online participation (WebEx) is always ensured.

Attendance is open to all. To participate online, please e-mail Prof. Alberto Martinengo (alberto.martinengo@unito.it).

So far we have read: Aesthetic Disinterestedness. Art, Experience, and the Self  by Thomas Hilger (Routledge 2017); The Entanglement. How Art and Philosophy Make Us What We Are by Alva Noë (Princeton UP 2023); La politica dell'immaginazione by Chiara Bottici (Castelvecchi 2023).

This year we are reading: La svolta ecomediale by Michele Cometa (Routledge 2017) and Art and Cosmotechnics by Yuk Hui (University of Minnesota Press 2021).
