BOOK
Em um com o impulso
In one with the impulse is the first volume of a triad dedicated to reflection on the aesthetic experience. Its axis seeks to understand the deep articulation between what is at stake in artistic production and the expectations of social emancipation. As if the horizon of our emancipation were, in a fundamental dimension, an aesthetic production. As if something decisive in our idea of freedom were built from the challenges posed by the field of works of art that accompany our societies.
