International conference:
Cool Retro Camp Trash
Aesthetic Concepts in Popular Culture
University of Freiburg, 3–5 May 2018
The aesthetic quality of the popular is now undisputed. In fact, it can be argued that popular culture has become the dominant cultural paradigm of our days, which takes shape in music, film, literature, social media, fashion etc. In order to meet this cultural transformation with due attention, the aesthetic concepts of popular culture are to be scrutinized for the first time from a broad academic perspective.
In the course of the 20th century aesthetic strategies, discourses and value systems have emerged, most of which go beyond the boundaries of the art forms, the media and musical genres. Concepts such as retro, trash, camp, cool, crossover or cyber are just a few examples that show the high degree to which the aesthetic field of popular culture has become differentiated.
