Abstract(s)
Oscar Wilde enfatiza o aspecto artĂstico do trabalho humano, aquele que produz uma variedade de bens Ășteis e inĂșteis, desde mĂĄquinas atĂ© poesia. Todavia, esse trabalho vai alĂ©m da mera produção de bens. O objectivo deste artigo Ă© compreender as possibilidades infinitas da arte num mundo secular. SerĂĄ que estamos realmente a viver numa cultura moldada, secular, moderna e neo-dionisĂaca, estruturada por paradoxos e centrada no carpe diem? Estamos moldados pelo secular, i.e. pela crise de valores? Ă o hedonismo uma forma moderna de vida e o desenvolvimento do esteticismo de Wilde? Seguindo um mĂ©todo reflexivo e dialĂ©ctico, abordo os comportamentos sociais consumistas para apoiar a ideia de que a estĂ©tica nĂŁo pode ser apresentada como uma resposta Ă©tica a um mundo vazio de significado, mas como uma consequĂȘncia de tal vazio, na medida em que o esteticismo da vida moderna Ă© imediato, superficial e efĂ©mero.
Oscar Wilde emphasizes the artistic aspect of human labor producing a variety of useful and useless goods, from machinery to poetry. However, this labor goes beyond the mere production of goods. My purpose is to understand the endless possibilities of art in a secular world. Are we actually living in a molded, secular and modern neo-Dionysian culture, which is structured by paradoxes and focused on the carpe diem? Are we molded by the secular, i.e. by the crisis of values? Is it the hedonism a modern form of life and the development of Wildeâs aestheticism? Following a reflexive and dialectical method, I approach the cons umerist social behaviors to support the idea that Aesthetics cannot be resented as an ethical response to a meaning-emptiness world, but as a consequence of such emptiness, insofar the aestheticism of modern life is immediate, superficial and ephemeral.
