CAT 2020 – Slot 3 - CAT Summary - Question 21 - Aesthetic political representation urges us to realize
Question 21: The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage.
Aesthetic political representation urges us to realize that ‘the representative has autonomy with regard to the people represented’ but autonomy then is not an excuse to abandon one’s responsibility. Aesthetic autonomy requires cultivation of ‘disinterestedness’ on the part of actors which is not indifference. To have disinterestedness, that is, to have comportment towards the beautiful that is devoid of all ulterior references to use – requires a kind of aesthetic commitment; it is the liberation of ourselves for the release of what has proper worth only in itself.
a. Disinterestedness is different from indifference as the former means a non-subjective evaluation of things which is what constitutes aesthetic political representation.
b. Aesthetic political representation advocates autonomy for the representatives drawing from disinterestedness, which itself is different from indifference.
c. Disinterestedness, as distinct from indifference, is the basis of political representation.
d. Aesthetic political representation advocates autonomy for the representatives manifested through disinterestedness which itself is different from indifference.
Answer 21: B.
The main idea of the paragraph is that aesthetic political representation requires that the actor has autonomy with regard to the portrayal and that this involves the cultivation of disinterestedness (which is different from indifference) on part of the actors. Option B captures the essence of the paragraph.
Option A talks of a “non-subjective evaluation of things”, something that is not mentioned in the paragraph. Option C does not include the key word ‘aesthetic’. Option D states that autonomy is “manifested through” (shown clearly by) disinterestedness. The paragraph only urges the cultivation of disinterestedness in order to liberate oneself from all ulterior references.
