• Resumen

  • Aesthetics has to do not only with an axiology of value, with the beautiful, with criteria of judgment but also with a phenomenology of pleasure, with the sensuous, with categories of experience and matters of taste, taste in the crude sense of tasting things, of devouring and incorporating, not in the prim bourgeois sense of discerning superiority. The word aesthetics comes from the Greek aisthe-tike-, meaning sense perception. Aesthetic ecologies, affective ecologies, and somaesthetics pierce the body and pinion its parts to its worlds. Aesthetic inquiry in folkloristics properly undertakes an anatomy of desire.
