Thom Andrewes hat einen Essay über die Frage geschrieben, ob Musik heute noch kritisch sein kann.
In the second part of the essay, I suggest an alternative approach, using work by Corey Dargel, Lars von Trier/Björk, and Johannes Kreidler, to construct a model which proposes the use of political music’s own immanent contradictions against itself, in a way that inoculates against some of the potential limitations of musical critique. I relate this model to a new theory of aesthetics proposed by Harry Lehmann, in connection to the current possibilities of a new ‘Gehalt-oriented aesthetic’, as a clear escape route from postmodernism and its threatened neutralisation of critique. I conclude with a few further critical thoughts on the limits of this new critical model.
