Presentation

This lecture will discuss how aesthetic experience can offer us strategies for reconstructing our models of social emancipation. To this end, Vladimir Safatle will explore the way in which aesthetic experience seeks to construct notions such as territory, people and land. This can remind us that a discussion on models of emancipation should not be content with just exploring the matrices that generate concepts of autonomy, but should also be able to understand the symbolic regimes of construction of autochthony.

Often, the aesthetic recovery of autochthony has been thought of as some form of restoration or recovery of lost ties to a primordial space. However, this process must be approached in its multiplicity of strategies. For this reason, this research aims to explore an alternative model provided, among others, by major experiences of 'peripheral modernisms'. This model thinks of territory not in the form of restoration, but of the establishment and liberation of potential for the creation of new forms and regimes of relations that have been paralyzed in the past. This lecture will start with some reflections on the musical modernism of Bela Bartok.
