Default Kitsch and 'Pre-emptive kitsch'

British philosopher and art critic Roger Scruton on BBC -- some other links there, too, to talks of his on an impasse in the arts.

In case anyone's interested, the last part of Roger Scruton's BBC talks on art is available here (scroll down and the podcasts are on the right): "In the last of his three talks on art, philosopher Roger Scruton looks at the real thing, as opposed to cliche or kitsch." He's very concise and cuts through a lot of art-criticism b.s., I think.

Thanks so much for this, Andrew. I listened to all three Scruton talks - excellent.

Yes, thank you for this, Andrew. I also listened to all three (starting with the middle, of course, and then who could resist the others?) and consider this link a fine way to start a New Year. Finally, someone articulates this all-important topic in an uplifting and genuine way. It makes sense, but also makes it feel so worthwhile to keep doing the hard work, no matter what. So a genuine thanks!

And a genuinely Happy New Year!
Siham
