ARTE, FORMAÇÃO HUMANA E EXPERIÊNCIA ESTÉTICA: POTÊNCIAS (TRANS) FORMADORAS À LUZ DA TEORIA CRÍTICA

Abstract

This review article aims to think about the relationships between Art, human formation and aesthetic experience, having as a reference the Critical Theory of society and its conceptual contributions about the powers of transformation and human and social formation. The theorists who support this analysis are Herbert Marcuse, Theodor W. Adorno and Walter Benjamin. To these authors, Art is conceived in its autonomy and transcendence, having in the aesthetic experience its space of constitution of the human, of otherness and desire for freedom. The dialogue with these works allowed us to understand the (trans)forming powers that constitute the relationship between Art, human formation and aesthetic experience insofar as they fight reification, by making people speak, dance, sing and contemplate.
