About this Item
Description:
: En 'Notes on Camp', Susan Sontag explora la estética 'camp' como una sensibilidad que valora lo artificioso, lo exagerado y lo teatral. Este ensayo, perteneciente a la serie Penguin Modern, examina cómo ciertos objetos y estilos pueden ser apreciados no por su contenido o sinceridad, sino por su cualidad de ser 'tan malos que son buenos'. Sontag analiza la cultura y la sociedad a través de esta lente única, ofreciendo una perspectiva innovadora sobre la belleza y el gusto. EAN: 9780241339701 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Arte y Cultura Título: Notes on Camp Autor: Susan Sontag Editorial: Penguin Books Idioma: en Páginas: 64 Formato: tapa blanda.

Synopsis:
'The ultimate Camp statement: it's good because it's awful.'
These two classic essays were the first works of criticism to break down the boundaries between 'high' and 'low' culture, and made Susan Sontag a literary sensation.
Penguin Modern: fifty new books celebrating the pioneering spirit of the iconic Penguin Modern Classics series, with each one offering a concentrated hit of its contemporary, international flavour. Here are authors ranging from Kathy Acker to James Baldwin, Truman Capote to Stanislaw Lem and George Orwell to Shirley Jackson; essays radical and inspiring; poems moving and disturbing; stories surreal and fabulous; taking us from the deep South to modern Japan, New York's underground scene to the farthest reaches of outer space.
About the Author: Susan Sontag was born in Manhattan in 1933 and studied at the universities of Chicago, Harvard and Oxford. Her non-fiction works include On Photography, Regarding the Pain of Others and At the Same Time. She is also the author of four novels, including The Volcano Lover and In America, as well as a collection of stories and several plays. She was awarded the Jerusalem Prize, and received the Prince of Asturias Prize for Literature and the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade. She died in December 2004.
