[Daniel Hourigan]

THE SEX APPEAL OF THE INORGANIC: SEXUALITY, MONEY, ART, AND MEDIA
 
5 EVENTS WITH PHILOSOPHER MARIO PERNIOLA
 
Mario Perniola is Professor of Aesthetics at the University of Rome, 2, 
and
author of ground breaking books such as The Sex Appeal of the Inorganic
(Continuum, 2004); and Art and Its Shadow (Continuum, 2004). According to
Perniola, one of Italy¹s most prominent philosophers, what is at stake in
today¹s world is not so much the relation human/animal as the one between
the organic and the inorganic.
