Peter Weiss' project of an aesthetics of resistance positions the work of art against its ideological uses, following theories of the avant-garde. This study broadens the discussions around the aesthetics of resistance by reading the novel Fluchtpunkt as an essential early stage of a theory of aesthetics that combines a poetics of memory with an advanced theory of modernist aesthetics.
