(2017): The aesthetics of minorities against the correlation of strong institutionalism, scientism and technicality. on the voice-praxis of the minorities as art-literature. In: CLAREIRA-REVISTA DE FILOSOFIA DA REGIAO AMAZONICA (4/1), S. 13-48
Abstract: In the paper, we defend that the aesthetic voice-praxis allows to social movements, citizen initiatives and political-cultural minorities the self-expression and self-affirmation from themselves and by themselves in terms of lyrical-political I-We, so that to frame and overcome the correlation of strong institutionalism, scientism and technicality which characterizes the constitution, legitimation, evolution and social-political linking of modern institutions, such as science, law, political parties and economy. These modern institutions or social systems are logical-technical, non-political and non-normative structures-subjects, marked and streamlined for a self-referential and self-subsisting dynamics which is eminently endogenous, autonomous and overlap in relation to the spontaneity and informality of the epistemological-political subjects, values and practices proper to civil society, centralizing and monopolizing the constitution, programming and functioning of their fields of research and objects and, from here, framing the own voice-praxis of these civil society's epistemological-political subjects in their nowadays action and relatively to institutions. In this sense, in the correlation of strong institutionalism, scientism and technicality, the institutions become the basis, the arena, the value and the epistemological-political subject par excellence and exclusive of the foundation of themselves and even relating to the social-cultural structuration and evolution, peripherizing the informal and spontaneous epistemological-political subjects of civil society. Against this apolitical and depoliticizing tendency assumed by modern social systems, we argue in favor of an aesthetics of the minorities that enables both their spontaneous and informal, political, politicizing and normative self-affirmation and self-expression, with no scientist and institutionalist mediations, and a political-normative praxis which is alternative and opposed to strong institutionalism and its scientism and technicism, because it is inclusive, participative and direct. Therefore, the social criticism, political-normative praxis and cultural resistance need a non-systemic, non-institutionalist, non-technicist and non-scientificist voice-praxis that can be founded and allowed by aesthetics in its anti-paradigmatic, non- institutionalist and anti-scientificist sense.

Albers, Irene; Franke, Anselm (Hg.) (2016): Animismus. Revisionen der Moderne. Neuauflage. Zürich: Diaphanes
Abstract: Der 'Animismus' ist eine Erfindung der Ethnologie des 19. Jahrhunderts, geprägt auf dem Höhepunkt des europäischen Kolonialismus. Animisten bevölkern die unbelebte Natur mit Seelen und Geistern. Das erklärt man als eine die materielle Realität verkennende 'Projektion', durch die den Dingen und der Natur Leben und Handlungsmacht zugeschrieben wird. Animismus wird so zum Gegenbild moderner Wissenschaft, zum Ausdruck eines 'Naturzustands', in dem Psyche und Natur als ungeschieden gelten. Wenn sich letzthin ein neues Interesse am Animismus herausgebildet hat, liegt das nicht daran, dass der Begriff als wissenschaftliche Kategorie rehabilitiert wurde. Vielmehr ist die kategorische Trennung von subjektiver und objektiver Welt selbst in Bewegung geraten.

(1992): Decorum, power, and the courtly style. In: Quarterly Journal of Speech 78 (2), S. 149-172. DOI: 10.1080/00335639209383987
Abstract: If politics is an art, then matters of style must be crucial to ist practice. This essay considers how political actions are shaped by rhethorical practices that depend upon aesthetic perceptions. Modern assumptioms of artistic autonomy are replaced by the classical concept of decorum; which offers a model for understanding how political life is styled for rhetorical effect. The role of decorousness in contemporary politics is illustrated by the extreme case of the courtly style, which constitutes power through propriety, is centered on the king’s body, displaces speech with gesture, and ends in political paralysis.

(1956): On Artistic Familiarity and Aesthetic Value. In: The Journal of Philosophy 53 (8). DOI: 10.2307/2022022
Abstract: It was Mr Perry himself who more than anyone else insisted that the validity of a "general theory of value" could be evidenced only by its fecundity of value. So any demonstration that "interest-theory" does not, in Perry's phrase, "fit the data" of some area of value-experience would be, on his own showing, highly damaging. Just this has been argued, most conspicuously by Philip Blair Rice who says that "...an interest theory has seemed to be adequate only because so little attention has been given by general theory of value to aesthetic value." This charge is renewed by Pice in the recent symposium on value-theory, where it is also voiced by Aiken and Lee, all of whom, be it noted, speak with considerable authority in the filed of aesthetics.
