THE PERSPECTIVE OF “FESTIVENESS” AS MODEL OF A NEW AESTHETICS

Abstract

International research in the aesthetic sector has been undergoing very crucial transformations for more than two decades, in an attempt to outline an aesthetics of environments rather than an aesthetics of "works". However, the problem that has not yet been resolved in the construction of this aesthetic seems to be the production of its models, which must inevitably be models of processes and actions. In this sense, the suggestion in this article is to look at the foundational potential of the different aesthetics of celebrations and festivals, anniversaries and feasts, as well as of parties and events, joyous family celebrations, whether they be Venetian beach parties or (even) Love Fests in Berlin.
