From many sides, the aesthetic category of the "sublime" has been evoked to account for reactions to important contemporary phenomena, such as global warming and the complex of issues converging in the anthropocene debate. As the historian of science Jean-Baptiste Fressoz has written: “The strength of the Anthropocene idea is not conceptual, scientific or heuristic: it is above all aesthetic”. If the historical recourse to the sublime seems to evade any efficacy in order to understand anthropocene, in the wake of criticism of its looking from a safe distance and its recourse to pictorialism and aestheticization (Borsari 2022), that is not to say that this category is doomed to obsolescence, but several of its reformulations seem to be effective in shaping and critically analyzing another set of contemporary phenomena, such as the hysterical sublime, with its both euphoric and terrifying effect, or the trash sublime, which investigates the delicate balance that is created between the de-aestheticization of art and the aestheticization of commodities, waste, and droppings. To explore this potential, the course aims to discuss its implications and variations with respect to the historical heritage of the sublime as a historical category, thus going back to the classical, eighteenth-century and Romantic origins of the notion, and then discussing its many variations between the late twentieth century and the beginning of our century.
