Vocabulary
latter’s decisive ‘turning’ of the former
1. Does "the other" mean "other artistic practices" or "other things, people, places..."?
2. Can I replace "Bourriaud is prepared to concede" with "Bourriaud concedes"? Because "preparedness" sounds weird here.
3. What does "not least in the latter’s decisive ‘turning’ of the former" mean? what does "turning" imply here?
Text:
Artistic practice as Bourriaud would advocate it, on the other hand, corresponds to a ‘relational world’: ‘it is always a relationship with the other, at the same time as it represents a relationship with the world’. In the final analysis Bourriaud is prepared to concede situationism’s influence on relational aesthetics, not least in the latter’s decisive ‘turning’ of the former.
