Excerpt
from
chapter 3, "The
Autonomy
of Art in Bourgeois Society" from Peter Bürger.
Theory of the Avant-garde.

the second section "The Autonomy of Art in the Aesthetics of Kant and
Schiller", but I also included the preceeding section.
I
will be posting more readings (maybe, there's a lot now). Check back.
Read as much as you can. I
often post more readings than you could possibly be expected to read
before summer school. These are meant to give a direction to the
dialog
for the weekend. Also, this is an experiemental experience--I'm
posting
readings I'm interested in (and you can make suggestions). I often
post
readings I haven't read in years (Nausea)
or am in the process of reading ("The Social Turn").

I'm
posting
the video program I put together. It's a large, zipped file (3.1 GB).
By downloading it you agree not to post it or give it to other people.
Some of the artists who agreed to participate do not want their work
distributed. If you want to show it to someone, show it to them on your
computer instead of giving them the file. This page isn't linked to any
other pages so generally the only people who come to it are people I
send a link to. Click here
for the file. I recommend
putting it in iTunes as a playlist.
Readings
(PDFs):
Think Marx and lost theories
"Concerning
Feuerbach" in Marx, Karl,
Early
Writing (New York and London: Penguin, 1992)
"Freudo-Marxism"
by Félix Guattari in
Semiotext(e)
"Anti-oedipus" vol. II no.3, 1977.
Also, here is a contribution from Isa Gagarin, who can't
attend summer
school this yeat: Cirriculum
Vitality
I also thought it wouldn't hurt to include something I wrote
on
education for the website Quodlibetica (complete with typos and grammar errors). Here
is the link.
