Towards an Inclusive Aesthetic Experience: The Creative Potential of Vulnerability

This contribution intends to redefine aesthetics as an aesthesiology and to highlight the creative potential of the pathic existence of the living being, who, in conditions of vulnerability, can redesign new equilibria in its actual environment. Such an approach focuses attention on the relational aspects of existence, in order to appreciate the expressive potential implicit in background processes before the occurring of discrete entities and to elicits an ecologic mode of interbodily attunement with the environment. The tendency to a synaesthetic hyperrelationality characterizes the way people with ASD perceive and feel, and their ability to enter an affective resonance with the organic and inorganic milieu, suggesting the need for a diffused and inclusive aesthetic experience
