Season 6: All About Aesthetics Episode 12

For the twelfth episode of “All About Aesthetics” Mitch Hampton continues with  the discussion of style, perhaps the most important element in aesthetics. He will introduce elements of visual culture into the discussion while retaining some emphasis on written prose.  As in the preceding episodes he will try and represent aesthetics from the most commercially successful areas of life as much as the relatively obscure.  Style will be discussed as a basis for creativity rather than as an honorific that persons or things possess or lack. More on this ongoing, special series, here: On this, the part of our ongoing, long term Aesthetics series, I continue with a discussion of the power of artistic and cultural change from the early and middle 20th century until our own.  The  examples will come from music, prose and visual work, and from the commercial as well as the independent and alternative worlds. #ballet #pottery #novels #architecture #cinema #film #indiefilm #independent #arts #sculpture #movie #hollywood #painting #ballet #jazz #tap #hiphop #rocknroll #rock #salsa #bossanova #samba #africa #afrocuban #latinamerica #southamerica #dance #philosophy #criticaltheory #literarytheory #digital #analog #book #popularmusic #pop #singersongwriter #folkmusic #jazz #africanamerican #needlepoint #comic #comedy #standup #improvisation #piano #woodwinds #brass #guitar
