![]() | What Art Is Like, In Constant Reference to the Alice Books Subjects: Art -- Philosophy; Carroll Lewis 1832–1898. Alice’s adventures in Wonderland; Carroll Lewis 1832–1898. Through the looking-glass; Alice (Fictitious character : Carroll); What Art Is Like is a comic, serious inquiry into the nature of art. It provides welcome relief from prevailing modes of explaining art that involve definitions, philosophical claims, and critical judgments put forth by third parties. Scrapping all such chatter, Miguel Tamen's aphoristic lark with aesthetic questions proceeds by taking its technical vocabulary only from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass . Miguel Tamen is Professor at the University of Lisbon and regular visiting professor at the University of Chicago. |
