Kariel identifies a pragmatic aesthetics that links playful activities in all domains, arguing that only by fusing spontaneous and instrument action and by continually deconstructing, reviewing, and regrouping our centering sources can we defuse the oppressive elements of our modern cultural landscape.Kariel, Henry S. is the author of 'Desperate Politics of Postmodernism' with ISBN 9780870236556 and ISBN 0870236555.
