This talk explores paradigmatic scenes of the loss or capture of singular aesthetic value against the backdrop of encroaching industrial and deindustrialized economies: scenes of a work\u2019s loss of aura (Benjamin), of an enrichment economy (Boltanski), or of a fantasy of decentralized and digital art stewardship (Blockchain). Rather than rehearse arguments about how these scenes figure art\u2019s acquiescence or resistance to capital\u2019s regimes of value, this talk turns to an unlikely alternative in a Romantic literature coeval with the historical emergence of discourses of aesthetic exceptionalism. In imagining art as invaluable \u2013 as extravagant and frivolous; both inestimable and worthless by the metrics of a capitalist \u2018value form\u2019 to which it nevertheless remains beholden \u2013 this literature proffers a different set of questions with relevance for our own moment of accumulation crises: what does art\u2019s unusual and complex relation to the economic have to say about that value form\u2019s own internal limits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","event_category":[45,460],"class_list":["post-8887","veranstaltung","type-veranstaltung","status-publish","hentry","event_category-colloquium","event_category-events-in-english"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kulturwissenschaften.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/veranstaltung\/8887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kulturwissenschaften.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/veranstaltung"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kulturwissenschaften.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/veranstaltung"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kulturwissenschaften.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kulturwissenschaften.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=8887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
