Abstract

The deadlocks which characterize the contemporary may be related with the loss of sense of utopia, mark of modernity, and affect the aesthetic regime of art and media, and also lead to review the concept of autonomy, another potency of modernity. Motivated by Jacques Rancière’s theories, this paper tries to test the profitability of concepts he worked, to question the relationship between aesthetics and politics, media and (post)utopia, which are dramatized, for example, in the films The barbarian invasions (2003), from Canadian Denys Arcand, and The great beauty (2013), of Italian Paolo Sorrentino.
