We explore the aesthetics and sensibilities of the Baroque and their relevance for grasping the topoi of the Covid era – in particular, the image of the labyinth, the theme of the madness of the world, and the figure of the clown (embodied lately in Joaquin Phoenix's Joker). Finally, we reflect on the awakening of the sacrificial unconscious by the Dionysian onslaught of the plague and the still unfulfilled need for symbolic resolution. https://covidianaesthetics.substack.com/ https://www.lapsuslima.com/ aesthetics, baroque, covid, labyrinth, clownworld, Joker, Dionysian, sacrifice, scapegoating, Monica Belevan Outsider art historian and hypnotist collector Mónica Belevan joins Outsider Theory to discuss her various attempts to track the structures of feeling of the present.
