Beauty is Taking on New Form” that was held in Bologna in June of 2012 with the sponsorship of the Laboratory for Research on the City, the ISS, the University of Bologna, the International Association for Aesthetics, and the Italian Society for Aesthetics. The city, too, is landscape. We can leave it by going into nature, thereby exchanging the urban for the rural, but we can also enter the city to live within its architecture and contemplate its forms. Every architectural structure is a landscape and each promotes an educational or paedeumatic relationship between the spirit and the environment. Our gaze and our bodies activate a certain way of contemplating that promotes the interchange between the external perception of the physical world and an internal seeing. This internal seeingis the psychic perception of the visual image. There is a close relationship be- tween the aesthetic experience of the natural environment and that of the urban land- scape. In the same way that humankind lives on the earth so, too, it lives in the city. The theme has been approached from various aesthetic perspectives: art, architec- ture, urban studies, philosophy, sociology, literature. Observing the landscape and city has inspired not only architects, but also many writers and painters to immerse them- selves in a vision that amalgamates the world of reality with that of dreams. The forms of places, whether at daybreak or dusk, the alternation of day and night as well as the cycle of the seasons, have promoted a visionary sense of time and place. Here we find the splendor of the eternal flux of all things, a thought expressed across the many lan- guages. People perceive the world as a common world, and simultaneously, as theirown private world. People are the artificers of things that occur in the world. The external and the interior worlds collide and the intervention of the senses involves the dynamism of reason in a continuous process of exchange between the real and the ideal. The Coference has considered the idea of the forms of the city in comparison with the las- cape and with nature. The range of papers on subjects such as City and Nature in His- torical Examples, World-Cities-Societies and Landscapes, Urban Landscape andNature, Garden and Nature in the City, City and Nature in Philosophical Dis- course,Metaphysical Aspects of Urban Experience, Art related to Nature and the City, City as Aesthetic Object - City as Nature, Ecological and Aesthetic Concern, The Social 13 RAFFAELE MILANI Aspects of the City, according to various case studies will reflect a strong interdisci- plinary ethos. After the death of the aura in art, and the following success of shock, provocation and the incessant pursuit of the new, the city is broken apart and begins to open new visions and perceptions of space and the environment. During the Twentieth Century we have been present for a great transformation. Now from the meglopoliesofthe world come many questions about how we can live on the earth. This convention attempts to examine the current situation in the hopes of forming a plan for the immediate future. 14 EDITORIAL - INTRODUCTION Jale Nejdet Erzen Bologna, this most wonderful and pleasant of cities is the perfect place to talk about city and nature. Bologna’s history is a chronicle of trials to adapt to the times and to new industries without eliminating nature. This has taken on many forms, like the arcades, the hidden gardens in the core of the urban fabric, and de- signing nature, adorning streets with magnolia and jinseng trees and seeing to it that the wild prunes shed their pink flowers under your feet on the pavements in May. These trees later turn a deep magenda which I am sure was also designed for their matching color with the ochres and sienas of the buildings. Every detail is designed according to its colour harmony with nature and its complementing atmosphere with the florid forms. The theme of nature and environment has been on the agenda since about three decades.

  • 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.

  • Italian Perspectives on Late Tudor and Early Stuart Theatre
    Early Theatre 8.2 Issues in Review Richard Allen Cave Italian Perspectives on Late Tudor and Early Stuart Theatre The general focus of art exhibitions in Italy has changed significantly in recent years; the objective of this essay is to outline how such a change holds considerable value for the historian of early modern theatre and demonstrates innovative potential for the dissemination of theatre scholarship. Nowadays galleries offer fewer blockbuster retrospectives of the collected works of the painters who constitute the canon; such retrospectives were designed to be seen in a calculated isolation so that viewers might contemplate aesthetic issues concerning ‘development’. This style of exhibition now tends to travel to London, Washington, Boston, Tokyo, so that masterpieces now in the collec- tions of major international galleries may be seen in relation to less familiar work from the ‘source’ country (chiefly, one suspects, to have that status of masterpiece substantiated and celebrated). An older style of exhibition in Italy, which centred less on the individual painter and more on genres, has returned but in a markedly new guise. Most art forms in the early modern period were dependent on patronage, initially the Church, subsequently as an expression of princely magnificence. Some Italian artists were associated with a particular dynasty and its palaces; others were sought after, seduced to travel and carry innovation with them into new settings. The new style of exhibition celebrates dynastic heritage: the Gonzaga at Mantua (2002); Lucrezia Borgia’s circle at Ferrara (2002); le delle Rovere at Urbino, Pesaro, Senigallia, Urbania (2004). As is indicated by this last exhibition, the sites have shifted from traditional galleries into the places where each dynasty flourished, often as in the case of the delle Rovere being held in a variety of palatial homes favoured by the family 109 110 Richard Allen Cave as their seats of power and of leisure.

  • Growing Demand and Challenges Kuang-Ting Huang a Dissertation
    Remaking Chinese Planning as a Profession: Growing Demand and Challenges Kuang-ting Huang A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Daniel B Abramson, Chair Jeffrey Hou, Chair Kam Wing Chan Susan H. Whiting Program Authorized to Offer Degree: College of Built Environments University of Washington Abstract Remaking Chinese Planning as a Profession: Growing Demand and Challenges Kuang-ting Huang Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Daniel B. Abramson Department of Urban Design and Planning Associate Professor Jeffrey Hou Department of Landscape Architecture Since China initiated its pro-market reform in 1978, the way Chinese cities are governed has undergone a profound change. Central to such change is the fundamental revival of urban land as economic assets, because of which making plans for future land use has become an increasingly important government function and therefore the practice of urban planning (chengshi guihua) has begun to expand and take shape as a profession. However, with the expansion and professionalization of Chinese planning, there is also a growing criticism against the way urban planning has been developed into a development- and profit-driven profession. This dissertation thus aims to examine the evolutionary process of Chinese planning, through which the key factors causing such contradictory development are identified: First, since the 1994 tax sharing reform, the government at the local level has been put under intense pressure to increase its reliance on land transfer revenue and pursue land development. Increasingly, the role of urban planning has been limited to serving as a tool to facilitate the process, leaving other concerns largely unaddressed.

  • The Coordinative Development in the Capital Region of China?
    Zhai Baohui, Jia, Yuliang; Xu,Qingyun Coordinative development in the capital region China 40th ISoCaRP Congress 2004 A long Way to Go: the coordinative Development in the capital Region of China? Introduction From the analysis of ofgren (2000) we know that many efforts have been concentrated on large metropolitan regions in the Western sphere in a globalized world or giant cities of the developing world (Knox and Taylor, 1995; Sassen, 1991). The main focus has been on competitiveness, as responses to globalization, and urban governance, as a result of this pressure to become more competitive (Gwyndaf, 1999). The routine urban governance has been forced to change from day-to-day managerialism to entrepreneurialism and “boosterism” (Boyle and Hughes, 1994). Lever puts forward five questions to this concern. “Do cities compete? If so, for what do they compete? How do they compete? What are the consequences of competition? And, how do we measure and explain their competitive success?” (ofgren, 2000) To the first question, he identifies two opposing views. One is that cities indeed compete. They compete for mobile investment, population, public funds and large events as such sports and high level meetings. Cities are competing in the ability to create assets that make their local economy thrive. The other is that cities may try to develop favourable conditions for firms, but they are not as such involved in any competition with other cities. It is de facto capital that competes. It is the capital that needs corporate headquarters, financial institutions and markets as well as specialized services, and it is the capital invested in real estate, industrial undertakings, retailing and service.

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.

  • 7 Part I: 'Three Thirty-Years'
    Wu Liangyong. An inteview by Lucio Barbera1 WU LIANGYONG Abstract: Wu Liangyong, the Maestro Wu, was interviewed by Lucio Barbera on November 17th 2014 in Beijing at his Tsinghua University office. Wu was asked about his studies, his early and life long professional and academic career. The interview was held the day after the inauguration of the exhibition of Wu’s works at the National Museum in Tienanmen Square, where Lucio Barbera was invited to give a lecture and present the Italian and the English translation of Wu’s book A General Theory of Architecture.2 The following text has been collected as a continuous narration, based on the inteview, which Wu Liangyong has devided in three ‘parts’ or three ‘decades’. The interview is presented by Wu as an anticipation of his next book, an autobiography written upon request of the China Academy of Engineering. Key words: Wu Liangyong, Modern China, Chinese Architecture. Part I: ‘Three Thirty-Years’ If my life can be divided into three or three decades, the first thirty years correspond to my growth, from the birth of my hometown of Nanjing, as well as my family, family background or education, etc., or my studies. I grew up in family with an academic background. My family started off running a satin business, which is a historic industry producing silk clothing. Later due to suffering from slump in the economy of NanJing, the satin business had to close down. At that time, my father, mother, and brother, who was a lecturer at university, paid great attention to foster my character and emphasize my education.
