 Profile
Entzenberg has worked in a vast range of areas within aesthetics from a post-analytical (historical) perspective, covering art in general, metaphor, interpretation, literary theory, and Eastern art. His current focus is on the ontology of art, the so-called “end of art”, as well as the phenomenon of resistance of art in general and the literary works of the Swedish author Stig Dagerman in particular. All the subjects Entzenberg has explored, and continues to explore, are related to the construction of meaning and how, in the end, art makes a difference.
