This chapter discusses Kant’s continuing influence on the aesthetic debate as well as his decisive role in its modern discussion. Kant, who claims to begin philosophy worthy of the name during his so-called critical period in his critical philosophy, is sometimes thought of as the founder of Western aesthetics. It is perhaps more accurate to say that he did not invent but deeply influenced both theory of knowledge and aesthetics. In treating the questions of aesthetics with the same rigor and the same tools as other themes, Kant erased any distinction between aesthetics and the other facets of critical philosophy, and hence erased any distinction between aesthetics and philosophy in general. Kant, who is deeply influential on the entire later modern debate, is especially influential on later aesthetics, which often can be depicted as a series of reactions to his aesthetic theories.Less

This chapter explores the ‘known’ Kennedy Martin, organised according to the following categories: the single play, the theory and practice of experimental and non-naturalistic television drama and the creation of and contributions to popular drama series. Television, like the film industry, is a collaborative medium and through interviews with some of the people with whom Kennedy Martin has worked, in addition to the analysis of individual productions, this chapter reveals the ways in which the work of Troy Kennedy Martin is the product of collaboration with other writers, producers, script editors and directors. The main objective is to explore the work of one writer in relation to historical developments in British television drama. The book therefore adopts a largely chronological structure, starting with Kennedy Martin's early television scripts, which were broadcast live, and tracing his involvement in the aesthetic debates that accompanied technological and institutional changes in British television.Less

The years 1930 to 1935 witnessed the emergence of a group of young men who were trained in the ideas of far-right and conservative nationalism and aspired to cultural and political prominence. Ranging from ultra-Catholic journalists Jean de Fabrègues and René Vincent to novelists Robert Brasillach and Georges Blond, music and film critic Lucien Rebatet, energetic polemicist Jean–Pierre Maxence, and the lesser-known but no less dedicated Pierre–Antoine Cousteau and Pierre Monnier, they were a motley collection united in their disgust with the postwar world in which they had come of age. This chapter situates these intellectuals not just within a political genealogy of far-right ideas, but also within the larger context of 1930s French cultural and aesthetic debates. It shows how categories of civilization, race, gender, and sexuality infused contemporaries' debates and discussions, and how these young intellectuals engaged and responded to them.Less
