Viceversa 10
Edited by

Kitsch
The tenth issue of Viceversa opens an investigation into kitsch in order to understand the reasons for its elusiveness and to collectively approach its mystery. Within this space – whose boundaries are undefined, as the nature of the theme suggests – it is desirable to bring out multiple horizons of meaning that give rise to new theoretical devices and interpretative tools. This is the question that Viceversa 10 asks the authors: what is kitsch today? The aim, therefore, is to reconstruct and update the “contemporary atlas” in a fragmented way and restore a panorama made up of strident images and phantasmagorical architecture.
