@article{Miller_2019, place={Ljubljana, Slovenija}, title={My Twentieth Century: Zeitdiagnose and Modern Art in Badiou, Sloterdijk, and Stiegler}, volume={40}, url={https://ojs.zrc-sazu.si/filozofski-vestnik/article/view/8131}, abstractNote={<p>Alain Badiou, Peter Sloterdijk, and Bernard Stiegler offered three distinct, but interrelated anatomies of the 20<sup>th</sup> century or, as Badiou expressed it, simply “The Century.” These included Badiou’s <em>The Century</em>, Sloterdijk’s <em>You Must Change Your Life</em> and <em>What Happened in the Twentieth Century?</em>, and Stiegler’s two-volume <em>Symbolic Misery</em> (I: <em>The Hyperindustrial Epoch</em>, II: <em>The Katastrophē of the Sensible</em>) and his related short book <em>Acting Out</em>. This paper considers their argument for the central role of <em>art</em> and <em>aesthetics</em> in the political, economic, cultural, and artistic legacy of the twentieth century, and their corollary arguments for the need to reconstruct and reorient our aesthetic understanding going forward into the post-20<sup>th</sup>-century future. It also highlights their discussions of the changing relationship between the <em>subject</em> of aesthetic experience and the subject of collective politics. Although each construes differently the specific content and causes of the 20<sup>th</sup> century mutation in subjectivity, as well as its aesthetic dimensions, they notably share a common focus and general structure of their <em>Zeit-</em>diagnostic arguments and prognostic conclusions.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Filozofski vestnik}, author={Miller, Tyrus}, year={2019}, month={Dec.} }
