The course aims to offer an overview of the main aesthetic categories - from the beauty to the ugliness, from the interesting to the kitsch, from the sublime to Horror and Terror- to evaluate their relevance in contemporary art practices. In addition to this it will analyzed the western and eastern conception of beauty (with particular attention to Japanese aesthetics) and it will reflect on the status of images in our hyper-connected society based on the texts "Immagini che ci guardano " by Bredekamp and "La furia delle immagini" by Fontcuberta.
