Abstract or Description: | The Sublime Now is a co-edited book with introductory essays and a sole-author chapter by Pajaczkowska. The book was initiated in response to the relativity of the concept of the postmodern arising from seminars and a Tate conference, ‘The Sublime Now’, Tate Britain, London, co-organised by Pajaczkowska (October 2007). The book explores the concept of the sublime as a secular trope of the religious, numinous or transcendent, from its origins in classical antiquity to its recent resurgence as a manifestation in current popular culture and art. The book is divided into five sections. The Cinematic Sublime and the Ecological Sublime are contextualised with essays by Pajaczkowska indicating the new directions given by this reactivation of the concept initiated by Longinus and developed by Kant. |
