Ästhetiken der Krise. Strategien zur Überwindung eines kollektiven kritischen Zustandes.

The aim of this paper is to theoretically compare some forms of aesthetic expressions and linguistic models that represent today's crisis (cultural, political, economic crisis) on a different way and to proof their possible symbolic and performative ability to use perception constructively as material for common experiences. In particular, four approaches - 'Piketty's Aesthetic', relational aesthetic, art installations, Flashmobs - are considered as direct or indirect 'answers' to the crisis.
