| Riassunto: | The Arts and the Revolution. Some Theoretical and Practical Elements of the Overall Problematic
In the strict sense, there is no “Marxist aesthetics”. The writings of Marx and Engels on the question, whatever their riches, are too disparate and fragmentary to amount to a system. What does
however exist is a history of the links and articulations between art, creation, and the perspectives
of emancipation, and in this history the writings of Marx and Engels can legitimately claim a place.
This history is neither linear nor homogenous. The purpose of the introduction is thus to address
four major debates which resonated through the 20th century: about the avant-gardes, about realism, about militant art, about the utopian dimension of art. These debates, whose importance and
influence is variable, mobilised artists and thinkers in the 20th century. They could either crystallise
in a particular time and place or, on the contrary, they could span several decades. Unresolved,
these debates still remain, today, laden with productive contradictions. |
