The Obscurities of Artistic Innovation
The Obscurities of Artistic Innovation
A criticism of the conception of literary autonomy has arisen in the work of Bernstein, which usefully brings together the works of Blanchot and the early Romantics, but misreads the material nature of literature developed in their works and the manner in which it exists by contesting its own time. By responding to this critique, it is possible to draw out the continuity between the post-Kantian generation of thinkers and writers and Blanchot’s works by addressing the material basis of autonomy, which is developed further by showing how Adorno’s work on aesthetics is oriented around a complex dialectics of form and material that emerges from his early studies of music.
