Savoring Disgust: The Foul and the Fair in Aesthetics
Korsmeyer, Carolyn (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, University at Buffalo)
Disgust is a strong aversion, yet paradoxically it can constitute an appreciative aesthetic response to works of art. Artistic disgust can be funny, profound, sorrowful, or gross. This book examines numerous examples of disgust as it is aroused by art and offers a set of explanations for its aesthetic appeal.
