Summary

This anthology brings together various philosophical, art and cultural studies positions on the question of the autonomy of art and highlights its historical and contemporary tensions. It shows that art autonomy is to be understood less as a state than as a dynamic relationship to social, political and media contexts. The contributions thus open up a differentiated approach to a central fundamental aesthetic problem.
