"There is no single something that makes art art, it simply is."
I think this is the best way of expressing this sentiment. I agree very much.

"what gets defined as art is a sociological matter: the space in which something is encountered, the expectations brought to the experience, the way a particular experience is framed, in short."
This too feels true. I disagree with (or perhaps just don't understand) a good deal of the burgoise stuff you were rambling about, but I think that this makes a good deal of sense.
So I'm no further towards understanding aesthetics than before hand, but at least I understand that there are at least a couple of likeminded people out there.
