Pragmatism, Critical Theory, Pop Culture, and Fashion: Interview with Stefano Marino (by Bálint Veres)

In this interview, made on the occasion of an international conference on pragmatism and somaesthetics at the MoMe University of Art & Design in Budapest, I first talk of my works on the philosophy of Adorno, Gadamer, Heidegger, Kant, Nietzsche, Radiohead, Frank Zappa, Pearl Jam, fashion and popular culture, and o my translations into Italian of writings of Adorno and Gadamer. Then, I focus on the influence of Richard Shusterman’s aesthetics on my thinking, discussing the validity and relevance of a pragmatist approach to the problems of aesthetics in our time.
