Vocabulary
is not ..., as somebody suggests
The following text is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_art. I have two questions about it:
1. Does "as Bourriaud suggests" mean
a) Bourriaud suggests the relations set up by relational aesthetics are not intrinsically democratic
or
b) Bourriaud suggests the relations set up by relational aesthetics are intrinsically democratic
2. Do "as whole" and "as immanent togetherness" describe the condition of "the relations"?
Context:
She continues that "the relations set up by relational aesthetics are not intrinsically democratic, as Bourriaud suggests, since they rest too comfortably within an ideal of subjectivity as whole and of community as immanent togetherness.
