Resumen
This article compares the proposals of Walter Benjamin and Jane Addams on the politicization of art, reflecting on its relevance in contemporary aesthetics. Benjamin suggests that the fragmentation and montage of images strip the artwork of its “aura,” allowing for the awakening of critical consciousness and revealing the alienating social conditions hidden by dominant narratives. However, T. Adorno questions whether dialectical images without conceptual mediation truly dismantle mysticism or, on the contrary, consolidate it. On the other hand, Addams emphasizes the role of art in building cooperative and democratic social relationships, fostering solidarity and empathy through artistic practices at Hull House. While Benjamin advocates for critical rupture, Addams supports reform and cooperation – two approaches to countering the use of art as a tool of domination in the context of technological advances. The open question both raise is how to highlight the revolutionary potential of art in contemporary society without it becoming a tool of manipulation.
