A new report, published
inAesthetic Surgery Journal, details a woman's case after she was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma - a cancer of immune-system cells.
In Bellow, we find that the definitive moment of literary violence can be the inaesthetic moment-the moment at which actual violence must be suppressed or, rather, find more figurative forms of expression.
For Julia Kristeva, in her analysis of Duras' novels, this kind of language is achieved by cultivating a certain "aesthetics of awkwardness" (225)--that is to say, a language that is excessive or "inaesthetic" (clumsy, unsightly, disconcerting, deliberately inexpressive).
(37.) 'The words "inaesthetic," "transitional ontology," "metapolitics" are coined against "aesthetics," "epistemology" and "political philosophy" respectively in order to indicate the twisted relation of the condition/ evaluation pairing, and, if possible, in order to deny oneself the temptation to rely on the reflection/object relation', Alain Badiou, 'Preface to the English Edition', Metapolitics, trans.
And this is why so many of Badiou's headings have to do with 'metaontology', 'metapolitics', and 'inaesthetics': the 'ins' and 'metas' are neither an index of superiority nor of negation, but the philosophical stigmata of being conditioned.
And if a film be rather, illustrative--a series of pictures of nameable forms--WHAT on earth might alleviate the
inaesthetic burden of referential nomenclature?
At first, figures like this one seemed foreign and even
inaesthetic - unwarrantedly "scientific" - to me.
Badiou's inaesthetic schema figures the relation between art and truth as being both singular and immanent:

And yet despite the fundamental role art plays in his philosophy Badiou's '
inaesthetic' writings seem unduly proscriptive, allowing room principally for the expressly 'literal' arts while eschewing for the most part those manifold arts which have little recourse to the letter.
