Contenuti

Title. Fashion, Pop Culture and Metaphysics.

 

The lecture course will investigate, from an aesthetic point of view, the complex relations between the "logic" of pop culture and fashion, and the meaning and aims of metaphysics, suggesting that pop culture and fashion embody what we may call a post-metaphysical sensitivity and way of life.
