Abstract

The article explores the concept of lost gestures in bourgeois society, highlighting Giorgio Agamben, an Italian philosopher focusing on politics and aesthetics, and Theodor Adorno, a German philosopher known for his critical theory of culture. Topics discussed include Agamben's assertion of the bourgeois class's estrangement from its gestures, Adorno's historical materialist analysis, and the potential for new, comical gestures.
