  • Knowledge, Imagination, and Stories in the Aesthetic Experience of Forests
    Zlom1_2018_Sestava 1 23.3.18 11:39 Stránka 3 Ken Wilder KNOWLEDGE, IMAGINATION, AND STORIES IN THE AESTHETIC EXPERIENCE OF FORESTS JUKKA MIKKONEN A key dispute in environmental aesthetics concerns the role of scientific knowledge in our aesthetic appreciation of the natural environment. In this article, I will explore this debate by focusing on the aesthetic experience of forests. I intend to question reductive forms of the scientific approach and support the role of imagination and stories in nature appreciation. I. INTRODUCTION There has long been a debate in environmental aesthetics about the guiding principles of the aesthetic appreciation of nature. According to the ‘scientific approach’, supported by philosophers like Allen Carlson, Holmes Rolston III, Marcia Muelder Eaton, Robert S. Fudge, Patricia Matthews, and Glenn Parsons, the aesthetic appreciation of nature ought to be based on our scientific knowledge of nature, such as our knowledge of natural history. In turn, philosophers who have argued for ‘non-scientific approaches’, like Ronald Hepburn, Arnold Berleant, Stan Godlovitch, Noël Carroll, and Emily Brady, have maintained that the aesthetic interpretation and evaluation of nature is essentially an imaginative, emotional, or bodily activity. In this paper I shall explore the debate by focusing on the aesthetic experience of forests. The distinctive experience of a forest, together with the mythological and cultural meanings of woodlands and trees, provides an intriguing opportunity to examine the relationship between the essential and the accidental, or the global and the local, in philosophical aesthetics. It is an opportunity to explore what we look at when we look at nature. Indeed, trees, for instance, have a vast amount of symbolic value.

It is common to think of aesthetics as a systematic study of beauty, and one of its major concerns is the evaluation of beauty and ugliness. Applied media aesthetics deals with basic media elements, and aims to constitute formative evaluations as well as help create media products.

DESCRIPTORS Aesthetic Education; *Aesthetic Values; Art; *Art Appreciation; Art Criticism; Audience Response; *Critical Viewing; Higher Education; Museums; Perception; Professional Education; Sensory Experience; Skill Analysis; Visual Arts; *Visual Literacy; Visual Stimuli ABSTRACT This study attempts to gain information concerning the receptive, as opposed to the creative, aesthetic experience by talking to museum professionals who spend their working lives identifying, appraising, and explicating works of art. The study is based on an underlying assumption that rules and practices for looking at art exist and must be mastered if success is to ensue. The anthropological research approach uses semi-structured interviews and subjects the responses to systematic analysis. Major conclusions emphasize the unity and diversity of the aesthetic experience. The structure of the aesthetic experience is found to be an intense involvement of attention in response to a visual stimulus, for no other reason than to sustain the interaction. The experiential consequences of such a deep and autotelic :lvolvement are an intense enjoy,lent characterized by feelings of personal wholeness, a sense of discovery, and a sense of human connectedness.

  • Aesthetic Interpretation and the Claim to Community in Cavell
    CONVERSATIONS 5 Seeing Selves and Imagining Others: Aesthetic Interpretation and the Claim to Community in Cavell JON NAJARIAN Politics is aesthetic in principle. JACQUES RANCIÈRE From his early childhood, Stanley Cavell learned to tread carefully the intervening space between twin pillars: of aesthetic sensibility on the one hand, and political be- longing on the other. Early in his memoir Little Did I Know, Cavell establishes a set of differences between his mother and father that far exceed both gender and age (his father was ten years older than his mother), as he notes the starkly contrasting dis- pensations of their respective families: The artistic temperament of my mother’s family, the Segals, left them on the whole, with the exception of my mother and her baby brother, Mendel, doubt- fully suited to an orderly, successful existence in the new world; the orthodox, religious sensibility of my father’s family, the Goldsteins, produced a second generation—some twenty-two first cousins of mine—whose solidarity and se- verity of expectation produced successful dentists, lawyers, and doctors, pillars of the Jewish community, and almost without exception attaining local, some of them national, some even a certain international, prominence.1 From his mother’s family, Cavell would inherit the musical sensibility that, had he not ventured into the world of academic philosophy, might have led him towards a career as a musician or in music. In his father’s family Cavell observes a religious belonging that, in the decades in which Cavell is raised, becomes morally inseparable from politi- $1.

Posted: Mon., Dec. 28, 2009, 8:00pm PT Adler, McCarthy engulfed in WWII 'Fog' Producers option sci-fi horror comicbook 'Night and Fog' By TATIANA SIEGEL Producers Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy have optioned the sci-fi horror comicbook "Night and Fog" from publisher Studio 407. No stranger to comicbook-based material, Adler has produced such graphic-based fare as "Constantine," "Superman Returns" and the upcoming Brandon Routh starrer "Dead of Night," which is based on the popular Italian title "Dylan Dog." This material is definitely in my strike zone in more ways than one," Adler said, noting his prior role as a producer of such horror projects as the "Tales From the Crypt" series. "But what really appealed to me wasn't so much the genre trappings but rather the characters that really drive this story." Set during WWII, story revolves around an infectious mist unleashed on a military base that transforms its victims into preternatural creatures of the night. But when the survivors try to kill them, they adapt and change into something even more horrific and unstoppable. Studio 407's Alex Leung will also serve as a producer on "Night and Fog." Adler and McCarthy are also teaming to produce an adaptation of "Havana Nocturne" along with Eric Eisner. They also recently optioned Ken Bruen's crime thriller "Tower." "Night and Fog" is available in comic shops in the single-issue format and digitally on iPhone through Comixology.

This trend is located within the context of Generation X and considered within the framework of nostalgia and Linda Hutcheon’s (2006) conception of adaptation. The history of re-visiting existing texts in screen culture is explored, and the distinction between remakes and adaptation is determined.
