The phenomenon of abulia in contemporary art
Abstract
The article examines the formation of the phenomenon of abulia in contemporary art, as part of the reflection of the forms of development of postmodern philosophy. The expression of an abulistic mood can be traced both in performative and artistic practices, and in modern choreography, associated with the formation and development of the ideas of techno-determinism. The self-elimination of the creator and creator as a special concept is analyzed using the example of works of visual, musical, and choreographic art. Among the cultural phenomena associated with the manifestation of abulia in society is the widespread influence of “cancel culture” also on the formation of abulia thinking. Artistic lack of will is a narrative of modern realities.
