Perspectives on
Emancipation: Hermeneutic and Aesthetic Investigations
edited by SaE!E!a
Hrnjez and SC8ren Tinning
What does b b emancipationb b mean today? A
hermeneutical approach to this
question tries above all to investigate the
significance of
emancipation in relation to human praxis. Yet, in order to
answer this
question another question arises: b b emancipation from
what?b b .
Generally speaking emancipation implies an oppressive or
restraining
structure, a system of unjustified constraints from which we
have to
free ourselves. With Enlightenment emancipation emerges on the
theoretical horizon first and foremost as the idea of liberation -
through
Reason - from the old structures of power based on dogmatic
faith. But if
contemporary hermeneutics, primarily with Gadamer, wants
to face critically
and in the last instance detach itself from the
Enlightenment tradition,
what then remains from its emancipatory
project? Is it to be abandoned, to
be reduced, or rather to be
transformed and concretized according to the new
conditions set by
history? If emancipatory praxis contains the utopian
horizon of the
overcoming or the abolition of the actual state of things, as
it is the
case in Marxist thinking, how can hermeneutics contribute in order
to
better define this utopian b b beyondb b towards which emancipation
aims?
Moreover, is the infinite and not conclusive process of interpretation
by definition an act of emancipation? Can we say, rephrasing the
evangelic
message, b b Interpretation will set you freeb b ? What would be
a
postmodern perspective on emancipation?
All these questions taken together
are trying to outline the space of
emancipation in the epoch defined
sometimes as b b post-emancipativeb b .
An important contribution to
this space is found in the arts and
contemporary aesthetical reflection.
From Brechtbbs Verfremdungseffekt
to RanciC(rebbs b b emancipated
spectatorb b , only to mention a few
examples, we find a vast variety of
studies and practices, which intend
to open new perspectives of emancipation
through different aesthetic
experiences.
Since capitalist societies today
prompt the rethinking of emancipatory
practices, this volume sets the task
to examine the topic of
emancipation through a dialogue between different
hermeneutical and
aesthetical inquiries, while also opening for broader
philosophical
discussions of the main question here: b b what does it mean
for us to
emancipate ourselves today?b b
