Each of the five volumes in the Stone Art Theory Institutes series, and the seminars on which they are based, brings together a range of scholars who are not always directly familiar with one anothers work. The outcome of each of these convergences is an extensive and unpredictable conversation on knotty and provocative issues about art. This fourth volume in the series, Beyond the Aesthetic and the AntiAesthetic, focuses on questions revolving around the concepts of the aesthetic, the antiaesthetic, and the political. The book is about the fact that now, almost thirty years after Hal Foster defined the antiaesthetic, there is still no viable alternative to the dichotomy between aesthetics and anti or nonaesthetic art. The impasse is made more difficult by the proliferation of identity politics, and it is made less negotiable by the hegemony of antiaesthetics in academic discourse on art. The central question of this book is whether artists and academicians are free of this choice in practice, in pedagogy, and in theory.The contributors are Stphanie Benzaquen, J. M.
