SOMAESTETICA, ARCHITETTURA E CITTÀ
2024, Bologna University Press
English Description:
Consolidated as a philosophical discipline for over twenty years, Somaesthetics develops through the ameliorative principle of experience. In the context of redefining aesthetics in perceptive and proprioceptive terms, Richard Shusterman reworked pragmatist aesthetics in the 1990s through the soma, understood as a living body, which simultaneously perceives and creates. Going beyond an idea of aesthetics centered on appreciation, Shusterman focused above all on the applicative and practical aspect that puts artist and user on the same level. The dialogue with disciplines that lend themselves to applied feedback, such as those of architecture and urban planning, is thus encouraged. Taking into consideration the design, experiential and social aspects, Shusterman interprets architecture through the active participation of the soma and, consequently, the relationships the social, cultural and performative with the city.

ESPERIENZA ESTETICA E ARTI POPOLARI
Prospettive somaestetiche sulla teoria e la pratica
2023, Mimesis Edizioni.
English Description:
Richard Shusterman's thought today represents an important reference point within the philosophical debate, in general, and aesthetics, in particular. Starting from a philosophical-analytical background but opening early on to the stimuli offered by pragmatism and maintaining a dialogue with "continental" authors and traditions of thought as well, Shusterman has offered original and stimulating contributions on a wide variety of contemporary aesthetic practices, focusing on the reevaluation of aesthetic experience as a whole and, above all, on the recovery of the dimension of corporeality and pleasure. This has also proved to be extremely useful and fruitful from a philosophical point of view in order to liberate aesthetic inquiry from any schematic, merely dichotomous and abstract subdivision of the arts into "low" and "high," "popular" and "serious," and in order to elevate the bodily dimension as a whole, in its unique capacity to unite nature and culture. Of this and much more Shusterman's essays selected for this collection of his writings in Italian offer exemplary testimony.
