  • Criticism As a Form of Cognition
    Filozofski vestnik | Volume XL | Number 3 | 2019 | 161–179 Curtis L. Carter* Criticism as a Form of Cognition I. Erlebnis and Erkenntnis and Art Criticism Erlebnis, here refers to as knowledge by acquaintance, is knowledge attained in the presence of an object or event, for our purposes here a work of art. Erlebnis is not a vague or content less gesture toward the inefable. Rather, Erlebnis con- sists of an ordered, intelligible, symbolic process through which the producer artist sends out as information consisting of feeling, form, or ideas that com- prise the work of art, which is then received by an observer such as the art crit- ic. Erkenntnis is knowledge about something and consists of a description and interpretation of an object or event. It is based on internalizing perceptual ob- servation and reasoning processes such as analysis, association, comparison, appeal to prior knowledge, as well as judgment which may include assessment. In the case of art, however, a critic’s description, interpretation, or evaluation based solely on Erkenntnis seldom, if ever amounts to an exhaustive charac- terization of the work. It is necessary to supplement Erkenntnis with Erlebnis which is supplied by seeing, hearing, or undergoing, in the actual presence of the visual or performative artwork. Hence both Erkenntnis and Erlebnis have a major place in the creation of art criticism. My intent is not, therefore, to propose that Erkenntnis and Erlebnis constitute a dualism of knowledge with respect to art criticism. There are in fact elements 161 of both at work in the responses to a work of art whether a painting, a musical composition, theater performance or a dance.

A second group of ethics experts might be called the “Peripateti.” Like their Greek namesakes, they get around. They advise media organizations on ethical issues, and often organize workshops for newspapers and TV stations. This group is typified by Michael Josephson and his California-based ethics institute. The raison d’être and often the business of the Peripateti is to enlighten working journalists about ethics, usually in onsite visits that stir dol- lops of Kant and utilitarianism with case-studies of ethical dilemmas taken from everyday practice.

  • Journalism Journalism
    CULTURAL JOURNALISM CULTURAL In an era when culture itself has become central to political debates, when boundaries between hard news and soft news, facts and opinion are dissolving, cultural journalism contributes to democratic discourse on vital issues of our time. Cultural journalism is furthermore indicative of journalistic autonomy and specialisation within media organisations, and of the intertwined relationship between the cultural and political public spheres. Nordic cultural journalism in Countries in the Nordic the mainstream media covers more subjects today than ever before, from fine arts to gam- ing, media industries, and lifestyle issues. At the same time, it harbours debates and reflec- tion on freedom of expression, ethnicity and national identity.

In the present text, which is based on this fundamental premise, I advocate for a further step in the renewal of the history and/or the sociology of art criticism, by mobilizing as well the analytical framework of gender, in the historicization process of this specific practice.

  • The Slow Death of Everett True: a Metacriticism
    The slow death of Everett True: A metacriticism Jeremy Thackray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2016 1 Abstract This thesis problematises and investigates the role of the popular music critic in Web 2.0 environments. It does so through an act of metacriticism grounded in my experience as an internationally successful popular music critic for major print publications including NME, Rolling Stone, and Melody Maker. The reflective aspect of the metacriticism is triangulated through interviews with other notable music critics, through a dialectical approach to role definition grounded in the literature, and through the ongoing experiment of Collapse Board, a music blogging site I set up to experience the new environment from the “inside”. Popular music critics have customarily been seen as gatekeepers of ‘cool’ and arbiters of taste. The industrial structure of print allowed critics to earn a living from their craft. The print environment was defined by limited outlets and large readerships with limited access to information. In that environment popular music criticism helped mould the ways popular music was received, consumed, and contextualised. This project asks whether the same holds true in Web 2.0 environments in which audiences have access to the same sources of information through which critics formerly derived their knowledge, authority, and influence. The thesis concludes that there are four major roles of relevance to the critic in the new media environments: bespoke criticism, music critic as fan, music criticism as entertainment, and the music critic as ‘firestarter’.

DESCRIPTORS Communication (Thought Transfer); *Criticism; Evaluation Methods; *Film Criticism; Foreign Countries; Graphic Arts; Literature Reviews; *Mass Media; *Television Viewing; Theories; Visual Arts; Visual Literacy IDENTIFIERS *Visual Communication ABSTRACT Several schools of thought regarding media criticism, derived from diverse disciplines and literary sources, have emerged during the last decade. To examine their application to the visual communication media arts such as film and television, this paper: (1) reviews the literature of media criticism;(2) discusses various approaches to visual communication media criticism; and (3) provides examples of the application of existing visual communication approaches to criticism. Discussion includes parameters of visual communication media arts, critical approach versus critical method, and selection of criteria for the evaluation of visual communication media arts. The following critical approaches and their applications are examined: journalistic; historical; sociological; rhetorical; narrative; cultural; semiological; psychological; ideological; genre; producer's; and visual literacy. It is suggested that the development of visual media criticism is directly related to and depends upon the development of verified theories of the various visual communication media arts.

  • The Visible Word : Experimental Typography and Modern Art, 1909
    Johanna Drucker ' 1 The Visible Word Experimental Typography and Modern Art, 1909-1923 ■ Johanna Drucker Early in this century, Futurist and Dada artists developed brilliantly innovative uses of typogra¬ phy—including visual poems and collages of words and letters—that blurred the boundaries between visual art and literature. In The Visible Word, Johanna Drucker shows how later art criticism and literary theory has distorted our understanding of such works. She argues that Futurist, Dadaist, and Cubist artists emphasized materiality as the heart of their experimental approach to both visual and poetic forms of representation; by midcentury, however, the tenets of New Criticism and High Modernism had polarized the visual and the literary. Drucker skillfully traces the development of this critical position, suggesting a methodology closer to the actual practices of the early avant-garde artists based on a rereading of their critical and theoretical writings. After reviewing theories of signification, the production of meaning, and materiality, she analyzes the work of four poets active in the typographic experimentation of the 1910s and 1920s: Ilia Zdanevich, Filippo Marinetti, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Tristan Tzara. Drucker explores the context for experimental typography in terms of printing, handwriting, and other practices concerned with the visual representa¬ tion of language. Her book concludes with a brief look at the ways in which experimental techniques of the early avant-garde were transformed in both liter¬ ary work and in applications to commercial design throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. (continued on back flap) This book is to be returned on or before the last date stamped below.
