9789492095763: The Aesthetics of Ambiguity: Understanding and Addressing Monoculture (Antennae-arts in Society)

Synopsis

Sidestepping both identity politics and facile multiculturalism, this anthology argues for the embrace of social ambiguity through art

Multiculturalism and pluralism presuppose a shared culture with shared values and convictions about, for example, openness, democracy and equality. Multiculturalism therefore in fact presumes a monoculture of views and attitudes.

Being able to deal with ambiguities, differences and paradoxes is the outcome of a learning process and thus of cultivation. Art has played a pivotal role in this process since the dawn of modernity; the contemporary artist is a bricoleur, shaman and charlatan who prepares peculiar blends and creates indigestible cocktails, who has to play with cultural conventions if she or he is to be called an "artist" anyway.

The Aesthetics of Ambiguity gives stage to art and artists that dare to play with the rules of a broader society and adopt ambiguity and paradoxes, and explores their successes and failures.

From the Back Cover

In The Aesthetics of Ambiguity: Understanding and Addressing Monoculture betogen Pascal Gielen en Nav Haq dat multiculturalisme paradoxaal genoeg gebaseerd is op monocultureel denken. De publicatie verkent deze paradox door monocultuur in verschillende hedendaagse contexten te onderzoeken. Het boek wil monocultuur analyseren met behulp van een veelzijdige benadering, door historische, sociale, culturele en ideologische perspectieven samen te brengen. Kunst kan daarbij zowel dienen als middel voor verzoening als manier om uiting te geven aan verdeeldheid en verschillen.
The Aesthetics of Ambiguity bevat bijdragen over de prakijken van kunstenaars, denkers en instituties die met de regels van de samenleving durven te spelen en daarmee trachten ambiguïteit 'in brede zin' genereren. Dit boek vertegenwoordigt een zoektocht naar en noodzaak van (meer) ambiguïteit. De kunstenaars, activisten en onderzoekers in dit boek pleiten voor een politiek en esthetiek van ambiguïteit om rigide grenzen en polariteiten tussen culturen en tussen kunstpraktijken en wetenschappelijk denken te vermijden. Daarmee dragen zij bij aan een manier om om te gaan met de complexiteit van ons samenleven op aarde.
