#281 - Aesthetic Categories with Sianne Ngai

About this episode

As a direct follow-up to their previous episode on Arthur Danto, Connor and Dan dig into the contemporary aesthetic philosophy of cultural critic Sianne Ngai. Specifically, they're talking about things that are cute, zany, and interesting. These three categories are launching off points to discuss the commodification of art in modern society. Also, it's a way to talk about Star Wars.
