Abstract

This essay deals with the debate concerning postmodernity in the light of Heidegger's  conception of art and esthetic experience as the putting into effect of truth, and of the  theories of Frederic Jameson and Gianni Vattimo regarding the cultural characteristics  embraced by the postmodern subject. These agree with the characteristics of works of  art insomuch as the esthetic allows the surge of its signifi cant thanks to the influence  and role played in its determination by the massive media of communication.
