What Is The Relation Of Anxiety To Aesthetics? Aesthetics Of Anxiety Brings Psychoanalysis Into Dialogue With Aesthetics, Providing Provocative And Original Insights Into Aesthetic Theory And Experience. From Aristotle's Katharsis To The Role Played By Pain And Disgust In The Aesthetics Of The Avant-garde, The Notion Of Anxiety Helps Us Understand The Particular Kind Of Discontent (or Negative Pleasure) That Accompanies Aesthetic Experience. Anxiety, Articulated Through Such Notions As Desire, The Unconscious, And The Real, Is Also Presented As A Productive Tool For Understanding The Kantian Aesthetic Categories Of Pleasure, Beauty, The Sublime, And Genius. Aesthetics Of Anxiety Goes Beyond The Idea That There Is Anxiety In Aesthetics To Place Anxiety At The Very Heart Of Aesthetic Experience, Thus Transforming Anxiety Into A Particularly Aesthetic Affect That Becomes Part Of Our Understanding Of Every Work Of Art, Every Act Of Creation.--jacket. Introduction: Aesthetics Of Anxiety -- Displeasure In Aesthetics -- Kant's Aesthetics And Modernist Upheavals -- Displeasure And Anxiety In Aesthetic Experience -- Psychoanalysis And Aesthetics -- The Object Of Anxiety; The Object Of Aesth
