 a\, Charlotte</p><p>“How can works of art can have any positive moral-polit
 ical effect on viewers today\, given the challenges to aesthetic autonomy (
 or aesthetics itself) over the last few decades?  Susan Sontag argues in On
  Photography (1977) that a photograph of a person suffering can only aesthe
 ticize the suffering for the viewer’s pleasure.  Yet she defends the contra
 ry position in Regarding the Pain of Others (2003)\, insisting that a work 
 of art can have a sustainable moral-political effect precisely because of i
 ts aesthetics.  What accounts for this change in her view\, which I take to
  be symptomatic of a cultural shift in our understanding of aesthetics\, et
 hics\, and politics?”</p>
