Rajiv Kaushik (dir), Art and Aesthetics in and after Phenomenology of Perception, 52.35 mins, colour, sound, English) with Rajiv Kaushik, Galen A. Johnson, Veronique M. Foti, Helen A Fielding, Edward S Casey, Jorella Andrews.
This film gathers six scholars, all known internationally for our own work on art and aesthetics in Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology, in an open and improvised conversation. The six scholars are: Jorella Andrews, Edward S. Casey, Helen Fielding, Véronique Fóti, Galen Johnson, and Rajiv Kaushik.
This is a film of our conversation in five parts: “A Philosophy Better Served by Art?”; “Thinking in Paint”; “The Political”; “Critics, Silence”; “Art-Philosophy, Philosophy-Art.”
The results are a lively, highly original and personal, discussion concerning the centrality of art and artwork in Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception and his phenomenology in general. This film, very much in the spirit of Merleau-Ponty himself, stands as a helpful document for students and scholars alike.
