L’educazione estetica nella civiltà dell’immagine. Alcune riflessioni

(Aesthetic Education in the Age of Images: Some Reflections)

Abstract

The question of the current and future situation of images is, evidently, very influential in terms of our cultural identity. We live in a world increasingly populated by images we do not simply contemplate from the outside; on the contrary, we often share then same space with them, as it happens in the case of 3Ds and play-stations.
In this context, what happens is a radical transformation of the cultural canon that seems to repropose, within a completely changed framework, Schiller’s idea of an “aesthetic education of the human being.”
