Categorías estéticas y nuevos conceptos de la teoría de las artes escénicas contemporáneas

Abstract

Art theory is a discipline that has displaced aesthetics in the work of studying art, because it has been constructed from the new epistemologies generated from contemporary art and therefore has the necessary tools to account for it. Art theory is nourished and linked to many other disciplines, but unlike aesthetics, its object of research is always art, which gives it a conceptual and methodological warp generated specifically for the study of the contemporary artistic phenomenon. This text analyses the disarticulation of the automatic association between aesthetics and art, the notion of event in the performing arts, the integration of cognitive processes in the contemporary artwork, the imbrication of the work with reality and the body, issues that dance theory studies in a particular way.
