Under Representation: The Racial Regime of Aesthetics

by David Lloyd and David Lloyd

Book Overview

Under Representation argues that the relation between the concepts of freedom and universality and modernity's racial order is grounded in aesthetic philosophy. Late Enlightenment aesthetics provide the conditions of possibility for universal human subjecthood by forging a "racial regime of representation" whose genealogy runs from Kant to Adorno and Benjamin.
