Habermas, Part 2
Apr 25 2007, 5:52 PM EDT
Lastly, Habermas brings up the avant-garde several times in his essay, saying that “the avant-garde understands itself as invading unknown territory, exposing itself to the dangers of sudden, of shocking encounters, conquering an as yet unoccupied future” and that it goes places “into which no one seems to have yet ventured” (4). Whether in painting, cinema, video production (more recently) or other types of art, avant-garde artists go against the norm and challenge the traditions of their respective art form. Does Habermas think that these avant-garde artists are bold or foolish for doing their own thing?
Do you find this valuable?
