Season 7: All About Aesthetics: Isaiah Berlin on Romanticism and its Effects Art and Culture Ep. 2

#romanticism #podcast #mitchhampton #aesthetics In this, the second episode of my series on Isaiah Berlin and his scholarship and theories of Romanticism, I enter into a definition of Romanticism and begin my regular usage of visual film and textual examples.More on this special series, here:In this, the 22st episode of “All About Aesthetics” I will begin a miniseries on Isaiah Berlin’s theory of Romanticism, taken from his important lectures in the 1960s at the National Gallery and elsewhere, and starting from his unequivocal assertion that Romanticism was “the single greatest shift in the consciousness of the West that has occurred”.I will inquire into the many effects of this shift, most of which are taken for granted and have been indispensable to forming the works of art, both popular and high, that we have most enjoyed or given importance. The series will include discussion of MGM musicals in Hollywood, melodrama films, novels, standup comedy, improvised jazz performances and much more.Learning Links related to this stream:   • Romanticism - Isaiah Berlin (1965)  https://isaiah-berlin.wolfson.ox.ac.u...#History #literature #movies #love #Hollywood #comedy #tragedy #freedom #liberty #classical #modern #postmodern #religion #spirituality #wordsworth #coleridge #keats #brightstar #lyricalballads #verse #isaiahberlin #russia #germany #France #uk #greatbritain #england #jazz #rock #africanamerican #existentialism #standupcomedy #tradition #thirtyyearswar #communism #fascism #ecology #environmentalism #intellectualhistory #culturalstudies #authenticity #sincerity #annaakhmatova #poetry #brontesisters #lordbyron #painting #caspardavidfriedrich #eletricguitar #powerballad #romance #feminism #democracy #liberalism #immanuelkant #rousseau #diderot #socialcontract #civility #manners #civillization #anarchism
