(no subject)
I'm writing my final essay for the year and I'm determined to somehow work this quote into it:
The anti-rationalism of aestheticized objectivity is related to the secret worrying antinomies at the heart of bourgeois rationality; the success of the analytics of scientific, instrumental rationality, bringing nature and the past to order under a concealed subjectivity, foregrounds the problem of subjectivity (Shanks & Tilley, 1992, 'Presenting the past: towards a redemptive aesthetic for the museum' in Re-constructing Archaeology: Theory and Practice: 73).
I just need to work out what it means.
