In this essay, Byung-Chul Han explores how the concept of beauty has been transformed in the digital age into something smooth, polished, and devoid of resistance. He argues that today's beauty is defined by a lack of injury and a surplus of positivity, which serves the purposes of consumption and immediate liking, while losing the contemplative distance and the 'negativity' essential to true aesthetic experience.
Byung-Chul Han is a South Korean-born German philosopher, Catholic theologian and cultural theorist. He was a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts and still occasionally gives courses there. His work largely centers around critiques of neoliberalism and its impact on society and the individual. Although he writes in German, his books have been best received in the Hispanosphere.
