UM PANORAMA INICIAL SOBRE DIMENSÃO ESTÉTICA EM MARCUSE E SUA CRÍTICA AOS ESTETAS DO MARXISMO ORTODOXO

For Marcuse art or aesthetic dimension is an essential component of the revolutionary process of consciousness and behavior of individuals. It is the release of the absolute spirit in Hegelian language. In this sense, art is configured as the fantasy that makes the "apparent" to reveal the essence of things. Essence here is understood not as a metaphysical field, but as unveiling of embedded questions in a truth of "establishment" in the totality of relations, which is not consistent with reality. In dialectics bases would be the art through the internal and external contradictions, pointing out the contrast with the representation of aesthetic form. Marcuse worried about aesthetic issues in the twentieth century presented by the aesthetes of orthodox Marxism, made his reflection in contrast there are some theses for these aesthetes as a definite relationship of limited art there is a social class, the political and the aesthetic part of the same sphere, there is no distinction in relation to literature or other genre writers, these would have to write specifically to express the interests of the rising class, in the case of the relationship with the capitalist mode of production, would write only for the proletariat. In his book "The Aesthetic Dimension" (1977), will present his defense, saying that "art experience transcends the material relations". Considers that literary currents as romanticism are key to raising awareness and the autonomy of art (independence, freedom) has the categorical imperative "things must change" beyond the current realism of aesthetes of orthodox Marxism. From these assumptions it is intended with this work provide an initial view philosopher's relationship with art, expose critical Marcuse will aesthetic Marxist orthodox nature, explaining an overview of the aesthetic dimension and discuss the importance of the critical function of art and subjectivity to the liberation struggle.
