Modernity and Afterwards: Culture in a
Position of Mass Media Hegemony.
More than a work of sociology of culture, this document
is an essay of opinion within the limits of cultural
analysis, guided by intellectual concern related not
only with the description of the study field but actually
with the practice itself. From the author’s point of
view, we are facing a dilemma due to the fact that new
technologies open up many aesthetic possibilities,
but they have not yet found one able to be compared
to the twentieth century grand aesthetics regarding
productivity. In this way, the author thinks that in
the last three decades, the change in technological
dimension and in the market have created a new
audience and new consuming ways because, contrary
to what it is said, technical innovation is the one that
finally speaks out. |
