[microsound] return of the son of metaphysics (was:beauty)

[guido henneböhl <ghenneboehl@xxxxxxxx>]

interesting point.. please consider that beauty,
understood as an harmonic construction of the whole,
occurs as a mechanism to eliminate those parts not
fitting into this concept. it causes oppression and
exclusion. the root of it all may be the equalization
of beauty and truth, already present in platos
thinking, and still alive today... its the never
ending return of  that metaphysical idea that there
has to be a good, true and beautiful whole that gives
sense to its parts. through the centuries a lot of
people tried to work against this normative
concept..postmodernism claimed its death...with little
success..
isn´t an "aesthetics of failiure" a concept opposed to
that of "beauty".. if we use failiure to construct
just another homogenous structure - wouldn´t it be
easier to keep the old one? 
to define our "postmodern" aesthetics we should think
of concepts based on divergence, not beauty...
