  • The Aesthetics of Frustration: Diversity and the ASA
    The Aesthetics of Frustration: Diversity and the ASA Sherri Irvin University of Oklahoma As I began to write a more standard aesthetics paper on an entirely different topic, my thoughts turned to several episodes in which scholars of color presented their work at ASA meetings with recep- tions ranging from chilly to hostile. Some have stated that they will not likely return to the ASA due to these experiences. Because I be- lieve the resources of aesthetics can shed considerable light on social and political dynamics, I will examine some aesthetic elements of this situation and use them to inform a schematic proposal about how we might move forward. I don’t have the answers—finding them is not a task for one person, and scholars belonging to the communities that have been margin- alized and excluded in our professional spaces must be centrally involved. But serious discussion of these matters, which have been personally and professionally painful for me and far more so for THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR AESTHETICS: others, is badly needed, and I hope this contribution will renew a AN ASSOCIATION FOR AESTHETICS, discussion that was engaged by A.W. Eaton, Charles Peterson, and CRITICISM, AND THEORY OF THE ARTS Paul C. Taylor in the Aesthetics for Birds blog in late 2017. 1.

Word Count: 3,633 [Main body text: 3,213; Bibliography: 420] Margolis, Joseph (b. 1924), American philosopher of aesthetics, history, science and culture. Methodological Overview. Margolis’ methodology is best located in the pragmatic tradition, broadly construed. His pragmatism lies in his commitment to understanding the world as part of collective and consensual human practice and situated interaction, his embracing of the changing nature of history and science, and in his approach to human knowledge as constructed. In particular this pragmatic bent is evidenced by his affinity for Charles Sanders Peirce’s semeiotics, by which thought shows us the real world through the interpretation of signs and symbols, and the existence of mind is legitimated as “objective” and “real.” Margolis also uses Peirce’s theory of predicative generals (as constructed but existent place-holders that focus discourse) in place of universals (as metaphysically fixed and existent types) as a way to discuss the discursive and indeterminate natures of what he considers to be inherently interpretable and significant properties of cultural artifacts (to be described more fully, below, as Intentional properties of artworks).

  • SEPT-DEC 2017 Mimesis International Was Launched at the End of 2013 on the Initiative of Mimesis Group, Which Includes Éditions Mimésis and Mimesis Edizioni
    SEPT-DEC 2017 Mimesis International was launched at the end of 2013 on the initiative of Mimesis Group, which includes Éditions Mimésis and Mimesis Edizioni. With a catalogue of 4,000 book titles, Mimesis Edizioni is one of the leading Italian publishing houses in the humanities. Our support for free thinking led us to open towards different and merging research fields in the human sciences while maintaining a keen interest in philosophy. As an academic publishing company, we work in synergy and close collaboration with several European universities and cultural centres. In this European and cosmopolitan spirit we publish our texts in English and, as in the case of scientific journals, we also feature multilingual contributions. Our pledge is to take on, in an original way, the challenges faced by today’s publishing industry, in order to influence the complex cultural context shaped by new media, in an ever growing interaction among fields of knowledge. JOSEPH MARGOLIS THREE PARADOXES OF PERSONHOOD THE VENETIAN LECTURES EDITED BY ROBERTA DREON The starting point of Joseph Margolis’ last philosophical effort is represented by the problem of the human “gap” in animal continu- ity: “There appear to be no comparable variants of animal evo- lution effected by anything like the culturally enabled creation”. While we share with other animals more or less refined forms of societal life, acquiring a natural language remains a distinctively human character: although it is grounded in the completely natural favourable changes in the human vocal apparatus and brain, the merely causal emergence of language in humans reacts back into human primates by transforming them into persons or selves.

  • 19Chronology of Works in Aesthetics and Philosophy Of
    Chronology of 19 Works in Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art Darren Hudson Hick Notes on Selection This chronology, as with this Companion as a whole, focuses on those works that contribute to the Western tradition of aesthetics, and, beginning in the twentieth century, in the analytic current of thought within that tradition (as opposed to the Continental one). As with the history of Western philosophy in general, the study of philosophical problems in art and beauty dates back to the ancient period, and is infl uenced by the major philosophical and cultural move- ments through the centuries. Much of what survives from the ancient to the post-Hellenistic period does so in fragments or references. In cases where only fragments or references exist, and where dating these is especially problematic, the author or attributed author and (where available) his dates of birth and death are listed. Where works have not survived even as fragments, these are not listed. As well, much of what sur- vives up to the medieval period is diffi cult to date, and is at times of disputable attribution. In these cases, whatever information is available is listed. Aesthetics in the period between the ancients and the medievals tends to be dominated by adherence to Platonic, Aristotelian, and other theories rooted in the ancient period, and as such tends to be generally lacking in substantive the- oretical advancements. And while still heavily infl uenced by ancient thinking, works from the medieval period tend also to be heavily infl uenced by religious thinking, and so many issues pertaining to art and aesthetics are intertwined with issues of religion as “theological aesthetics.” Movements in art theory and aes- thetics in the Renaissance, meanwhile, were largely advanced by working artists, and so tend to be couched in observational or pedagogical approaches, rather than strictly theoretical ones.

Introduction to Pragmatist Legacies in Aesthetics 1 Introduction to Pragmatist Legacies in Aesthetics Roberta Dreon 1. Introduction 1 Is there anything like a pragmatist tradition in aesthetics, representing a third option beyond analytic aesthetics and the broad, multifaceted galaxy of continental aesthetics? A comparative analysis seems to be problematic, not least because of the variety of continental aesthetics, which is so broad as to include classic German aesthetics and phenomenological theories of aesthetic experience, critical views such as Adorno’s negative aesthetics and Foucault’s aesthetics of self-cultivation and creation, to mention just a few names and lines of inquiry belonging to this field. 2 The present issue of the European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy has been designed as an investigation into the diverse ways of doing aesthetics in the wake of Pragmatism.

  • Margolis, "The Problem of Art and Truth in Tom Rockmore's Art And
    Volume 9, No 1, Spring 2014 ISSN 1932-1066 The Problem of Art and Truth in Tom Rockmore's Art and Truth after Plato Joseph Margolis Temple University [email protected] Abstract: I take Tom Rockmore to have met Plato's challenge more than adequately. But I am bound to say that the question the philosophy of art requires an answer to, which Plato does not address (but which bears on his verdict against the poets) and, I venture to say, Rockmore does not discuss either, asks how the arts are able to convey truths or propositional content of any sort, despite their not functioning communicatively in any merely discursive way, whether they are not discursive at all or when they employ the discursive powers of language in more complex ways (as in poetry and theatre). The issue bears directly on an essential equivocation regarding the meaning of representation in the arts. Keywords: Philosophy of art; Plato; proposition; representation; Rockmore, Tom; truth; Davidson, Donald; Quine, Willard v. O.; language. I am delighted to see Tom Rockmore's Art and Truth contribution of art, read in accord with G. F. W. Hegel's After Plato in print.1 It is a compendium of enormous notion of mankind's reflexive "concretizing" of itself value and heroic brevity, written by a man who has a through its growing knowledge of its historied world genuine interest in the fate of truth and knowledge and and itself, draws, must draw, on art's capacity to convey the social role of art in our time and across the entire the evolving truth of that world (ATP 273).
