Arte e oggetti
No full textPer la prima volta Graham Harman, fondatore dell’ontologia orientata agli oggetti (OOO), tratta insieme e organicamente i temi che gli stanno più a cuore. Frutto di una meditata riflessione riversatasi in altre opere, Arte e oggetti costituisce la base di una nuova estetica, improntata al formalismo, al pluralismo e al realismo. In un mondo popolato da oggetti, la cui dimensione ritratta resta inattingibile, l’osservatore viene sedotto e stupito dal loro fascino. Opponendosi alla critica di matrice relazionistica e olistica, Harman rilegge le avanguardie del Novecento e le attuali forme artistiche. Ispirandosi ai pensatori chiave del formalismo (Kant, Greenberg e Fried), Harman ne elabora una versione weird in salsa OOO, che rilancia il ruolo della bellezza e della teatralità. L’autonomia delle opere d’arte diventa così chiusura che seduce e che spinge lo spettatore a divenire oggetto reale della metafora, sostituendo la banalità del letterale e donando linfa vitale all’esperienza estetica

Ep. #112 - Graham Harman
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.What do the Super Bowl, horse-based gymnastics, the fact that magic might be really real and bragging about Bruno Latour have in common? Why, they are on your co-hosts minds this week on the podcast. Then (13:00) we are most fortunate to welcome philosopher Graham Harman (Sci-Arc, https://doctorzamalek2.wordpress.com) to the program. Graham starts us off with a beginner’s guide to his philosophy, object oriented ontology (ooo) including what does and does not count as an “object” in his thinking. That gets us to the influence of Heidegger and Husserl upon ooo and from there to the optimal relationship between philosophy and science, why aesthetics is first philosophy, the problem of causation and how we are all Stanislavskian method actors when it comes to the experience of art. The conversation turns from there to speculative realism and ooo’s effort to reintroduce metaphysics to continental philosophy. Graham explains why ooo isn’t as anti-Kantian as it seems and also speaks out for what cannot be measured by science in a time when the humanities are under siege. We then explore the relationship between philosophy and physics with the help of Karan Barad’s work on agential realism and talk about ooo’s place in the broader anti-anthropocentric turn in the human sciences since the 1970s. Graham explains to us how Latour became such an important part of his post-Heideggerian recovery, what he makes of the Anthropocene, and how ethics and politics intersect with ooo. We close on his recent book Immaterialism: Objects and Social Theory (Polity, 2016) and what he discovered about the Dutch East India company along the way. What happens when humans aren’t 50% of every situation? Listen on and find out
