- Abstract :
- Taking a novelty object, the Van Gogh's ear of the title, as a starting point, explores the nature of disgust, a response linked to the grotesque, and its threat to form and representation, drawing on 17th- and 18th-c. aesthetics. Draws distinctions between the sublime, a kind of formlessness celebrated in Kant's Critique of judgment, and the disgusting kind of formlessness Kant rejected. ;
