Realism, Myth, and the Vernacular in Pasolini's Film and Philosophy
Longing for a place that does not exist
This article proposes that popular forms of art and affect-driven culture initiate historical, cultural, and social change. The Estonian Singing Revolution between 1987 and 1991 offers an example of cliché-driven sentimentalism that contributes to political change. Although the concept of kitsch tends to have a negative connotation, in this article, we reconsider it as a politically productive concept, by contemplating its affective powers in cre…
A Philosophy of Cultural Scenes in Art and Popular Culture
This book seeks to understand culture through the lens of scenes, analyzing them aesthetically and culturally as well as understanding them through the frameworks of gender, social networks, and artworlds.

Aesthetic Perspectives on Culture, Politics, and Landscape

James O. Young’s Radically Rethinking Copyright in the Arts is a fresh and cleverly written take on the copyright issue. The opening quote of Radically Rethinking Copyright in the Arts comes from R.G. Collingwood: I am only proposing that artists should treat each other as Greek dramatists or Renaissance painters or Elizabethan poets did. If anyone thinks that the law of copyright has fostered better art than those barbarous times could produce, …
