Abstract

I propose a research that aims to discuss how a reflection about the constitution of modern aesthetic experience could produce a significant reconfiguration of the processes of recognition and its concepts of autonomy and emancipation. The consequences of the choice in submitting the dynamics of social recognition to a linguistic horizon grounded on communicational paradigms could be reviewed through a careful analysis of the potentialities of another paradigm: this one proper to the aesthetic experience that was developed upon the beginning of the XIX century.
