POLITICS OF ESTHETICS? DISCONTINUITIES AND INCONGRUITIES

Summary/Abstract: In this text the author reflects on Lyotard’s analysis of Duchamp’s, Ayme’s and Newman’s art, developed in an attempt to deal with the “paradox” of art “after sublime”. Her analysis demonstrate that the problem of discontinuities and incongruities is basic not only for aesthetic figures of representation, but also for political implications of these figures. Duchamp’s art proves to be of particular importance for this problem, for Duchamp appears a researcher of topology, who invents new syntax and establishes incongruities. An effect of that is an incongruity of points of view, in aesthetic as well as in political sense. The author shows that Duchamp’s “discovery” of incongruities has a particular importance for Lyotard because it changes “political geometry”. Individuals-citizens are not undifferentiated any more, but they must differ one from another, as well as by their position: one from everybody else.
