Document Summary
Autonomy self consistent with no outside factors. Art is hijacked by the dominant ideologies (marxist ideologies owned by the upper-class) Art must defend its autonomy to combat ideologies. A great artwork will react with a heterogeneous moment. If a woman is expected to make feminist art and instead makes something different, new and never seen before (perhaps shocking) Art that is too content focused is more political science then art. This art needs to change with a heterogeneous moment. The same for works that are too aesthetic focused. Art is alive speaks in a way nature and life cannot and must balance within the context of those realms. Defending autonomy and creating a heterogeneous moment something that is new and will never be stamped out . Kitsch symptom of the four levels of culture. High culture, mass culture, pop culture, folk culture. Emotive (person) plays into your pleasure principle to manipulate you (attached to collective emotion)
