Under Representation

Delve into the thought-provoking pages of Under Representation by David Lloyd, published by Fordham University Press in 2018. This insightful work spans 277 pages and explores the intricate connections between freedom, universality, and the racial structures inherent in modernity through the lens of aesthetic philosophy.

Lloyd argues that the late Enlightenment's aesthetic principles played a pivotal role in shaping a "racial regime of representation." Tracing the lineage of these ideas from influential thinkers such as Kant to Adorno and Benjamin, the book invites readers to reconsider how aesthetics influences our understanding of universal human subjecthood.

Perfect for those interested in philosophy, aesthetics, and the dynamics of race, Under Representation serves as a vital contribution to contemporary discussions on the intersection of art and society. Don’t miss the chance to engage with this essential work!
