Christine Buci-Glucksmann
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christine Buci-Glucksmann is a French philosopher and Professor Emeritus from University of Paris VIII specializing in the aesthetics of the Baroque and Japan, and computer art. Her best-known work in English is Baroque Reason: The Aesthetics of Modernity.
Christine Buci-Glucksmann began her career as a philosopher in the 1970s with studies of Friedrich Engels and Antonio Gramsci. She followed this research into aesthetics, based primarily around the works of Walter Benjamin. From this foundation she researched the aesthetics of the perception of the Baroque, which was published as "La Raison baroque" in 1984 and with La folie du voir in 1986. She cited Gilles Deleuze and Jean-François Lyotard as being most influential in guiding her research into Baroque aesthetics.
Later she investigated the aesthetics of the virtual with two books: La folie du voir: Une esthétique du virtuel and Esthetique De L'ephemere. She has written numerous books and articles about digital art (for example L'art à l'époque virtuel (Art in the Age of Virtuality)) and new media art.[1] She has also written extensively on artists from China, for in example in Les modernités chinoises.
