Vol. 4 No. 1 (2011): Art and terror: in dialogue with Félix Duque

The relationship between artistic experience and terror is a very old theme in Western philosophical reflection. So deep and ramified as to become almost an index of the rooting of aesthetic experience in the very ground of existence, against the illusion of disinterested beauty. This issue of 'Trópos' questions this question, in dialogue with Félix Duque and his interpretation of the postmodern apocalypse. A look that moves from cinema, to involve music and poetry, through a vis à vis confrontation with the public, and in some ways political, scope of art.
