摘要
In this paper we outline a theory that explicates the hypertrophy of the "political" in relation to contemporary art, literature, and culture. Beginning with a critique of Nicholas Bourriaud's 2016 work The Exform, we interrogate Bourriaud's engagement with contemporary art and Louis Althusser's theory of ideology. We approach Bourriaud's Althusserian source material through a consideration of its reappraisal by Warren Montag, Althusser's own Lacanian influences, and through some surprising continuities with the thought of controversial German jurist and political theorist Carl Schmitt. Finally, we attempt to synthesize these discussions into our speculative theory of the "Ideological Aesthetic," which addresses a conceptual gap in past theoretical discourse on ideology.
