Shea -- The aesthetic anxiety : avant-garde poetics, autonomous aesthetics, andthe idea of politics / Robert Archambeau -- On the Cold War, American aestheticism, the Nabokov problem - and me / Gene H. Bell-Villada -- Beauty by damned : or why Adorno valorizes carrion, stench, and putrefaction / Charles B.

Art and Life in Aestheticism examines the relationship between the aesthetic and the human realms over the past two hundred years of aestheticism's genealogy in Europe and the Americas. The chronological and transnational scope permits a consideration of the potential social import of literary and artistic creations that purportedly exist for their own sake. Drawing on and expanding the concept of de-humanization put forth by Joés Ortega y Gasset, contributors determine whether or not thede-humanization of art leads to re-humanization, that is, to a deepenedrelationship between the aesthetic sphere and the world at large or between the artist or the artistic receptor and his or her human existence. Although not all contributors locate a corresponding process of re-humanization to match, counter, or accompany aestheticism's de-humanizing impulse, they share in the volume's missionof rethinking the underpinnings of the aestheticism movement and its complex treatment of art and life.
