Short presentation
Associate Professor (docent) at the Department of Philosophy, Section of Aesthetics
Profile
Entzenberg has worked in a vast range of areas within aesthetics from a post-analytical perspective, covering art, “Bildung,” metaphor, interpretation, literary theory, and Eastern art against the background of the given cultures and histories His current focus is on the ontology of art, the so-called “end of art”, as well as the phenomenon of the resistance of art in general and the literary works of the Swedish author Stig Dagerman in particular. All of the subjects Entzenberg has explored, and continues to explore, are related to the construction of meaning and how, in the end, art makes a difference.
