art, aesthetics, transition, post-transitionAbstract
In contemporary anthropology, art history and aesthetics, the concept of transition is meant to signify and explain the hybrid set of changes that occurred in society, culture and the arts following the fall of the Berlin Wall or, more accurately, after the end of the Cold War. The assumption is that there is a relation of contingency between art, culture and society, which may produce the impression of a relation of causality.
