Expériences Esthétiques Et Systèmes De Pensée Au Temps De La Mondialisation

Abstract

This article examines the reconfigurations of aesthetic experience and systems of thought in the era of globalization. Beyond economic shifts, globalization deeply alters human perception and the sense of reality by loosening spatial attachments through the spread of electronic media.

The author first explores the "aestheticization of everyday life", where homo estheticus replaces homo economicus, leading to a derealization of the real under the saturation of virtual images. Addressing the limits of a broad yet generic aesthetic framework (Wolfgang Welsch) , the paper advocates a phenomenological approach to describe how art operates without falling into normative essentialism.

Finally, the artwork is highlighted as a "heuristic fiction" (Paul Ricœur) capable of awakening human sensibility against the numbness caused by standardized media culture. Art thus provides a model for authentic transcultural dialogue, provided it remains rooted in concrete, historically situated cultural identities.
