9 Sublimity and Postmodern Lyotard's
Les Immatériaux
Explores the links made by Lyotard between postmodernism and the sublime in relation to the exhibition Les Immateriaux (curated by him in Paris, in 1985). Argues that the exhibition rightly identifies a sublimicism, which is a strong characteristic of postmodern sensibility. Offers an analysis of the ethics and politics of this sensibility.
