Can Cannibalism Be Art? A Walk on the Borders of Art

Summary/Abstract: This paper asks the question whether there is a border for art, or it has, in fact, become such an encom passing category that the discussion of this issue is already meaningless. The author argues on the theoretical level as well as based on concrete examples that unreasonable and/or irreparable damage is a moment when we can no longer speak about art. In order to illustrate his point, he starts from the premise that art is to be seen as a meaning constituting human act, during which differential meanings are formed in the external, referential world. His theory is inspired by the results of poststructuralist philosophy, based on which differential and referential meaning is separated. At the same time, this belief system is seen with scepticism, since the border of art stretches, according to this view, precisely where the differential meaning does not seek to complete and enrich but to extinguish referential meaning. This act of extinguishing can be defined at the level of practice as damage.
