America, Seen Through Photographs, Darkly
in this text Sontag drives you through a kind of history of american (and therefore occidental) aesthetics through the lens of photographic experience. going with the old Whitman who works after a generalization of beauty in order to go beyond beauty and ugliness, but whose revolutionary project is undoable, and therefore it will fall into the surrealist. From here Sontag
