The course aims first of all to provide an overview of the main aesthetic categories - from beautiful to ugly, from interesting to Kitsch, from sublime to horror and terror - in order to assess their relevance in contemporary artistic practices. In addition, the concept of the classical and of beauty in the West and in the East will be explored, with particular attention to Japanese aesthetics and literature.
