Relational Aesthetics

My favorite quote from the reading:

"At the same time, as part of a general movement of emancipation, modernity has striven to criticize the predominance of the community over the individual and systematically critique forms of collective alienation.  So what do we find ourselves looking at today?  Sacredness is making a comeback, here, there and everywhere.  In a muddled way, we are hoping for the return of the traditional aura; and we don't have enough words to shout down contemporary individualism."

I personally am exhausted with post-modernism philosophy and find myself (strangely!) appreciating traditions and their archaic monotonous beauty.
