Estetizacija aporija: postavljanje pitanja o distinkciji između političkog i umjetničkog djela
Aestheticism of aporia: questioning the distinction between the political and the work of art

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary theories in the field of aesthetics have a tendency to simplify complex aesthetical questions guided by postmodern way of defining halved truth and according to that, by misusing such definition of the term ‹›truth›› in postmodernism, they refuse to re-think about primary questions of aesthetics and they rather choose asking questions about multitude of phenomena of aesthetics and ask new questions formed upon the ones that have already been asked. For hypothesis, we want to point out the tendency of getting the answer for such state of affairs by problematizing aesthetics and aesthetical through the issue of distinction between artistic and political work. The following distinction between political and artistic work guided by the discussion about the book ‹›The Tin Drum›› by Günter Grass, took us from the transparency of aporias in aesthetics all the way to the idea concerning aestheticization of aporias. To conclude, being led by the question of aporeticness of aesthetics and distinction between artistic and political as one of the phenomena of contemporaneity, the aestheticization of aporias is being showed as an answer to the aporeticness of aesthetics.
