Based on the ancient Greek klismos form, this chair incorporates bentwood lamination, a technique using steam to shape wood into graceful curves. Patented in 1808, Gragg’s design and construction process benefitted from his experience using this technique to make Windsor chairs, an example of which is on the right. Inspired by the proportions and lightweight construction of the Windsor chair, Gragg fused the classical past with the industrialized future. The chair is adorned with motifs that date to antiquity, such as the painted peacock feathers along the chair back, the acanthus leaves on the seat rail, and the carved hoof …
The Reconstruction Of Chinese Metaphysics, Xushu Zhang
The Reconstruction Of Chinese Metaphysics, Xushu Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The immortality of metaphysics originates in its human-attributed nature. The call for the reconstruction of Chinese metaphysics in the contemporary context should be understood as an intrinsic necessity of the modernization of socialism, and it should be taken as a significant component for new Chinese cultural tradition. The constant agency behind the reconstruction of Chinese metaphysics lies in the critical spirits and the courage of innovation of contemporary thinkers. Three major issues in the construction of Chinese metaphysics are the epistemological criticism of metaphysics, the views on a prior reason (a prior form), and the rebuilding of the spiritual homeland …
"New Scholar-Official Community" And Art Theory In The Tang And Song Dynasties, Qiang Tong
"New Scholar-Official Community" And Art Theory In The Tang And Song Dynasties, Qiang Tong
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The prosperity of Chinese culture in the Tang and Song Dynasties also means the maturity of Chinese art. The imperial examination and the civil office selection system result in the rise of a social group called "New Scholar-Official Community" who came to be the main force of artistic creations. The shared a similar background of education and civil service experience, and the similar cultural background cultivated similar artistic tastes. This community influenced the features and trends of artistic creations, as well as the development of art theory. To examine the relationship between art, art theory and New Scholar-Official Community during …

In Search Of An Author: From Participatory Culture To Participatory Authorship, Rachel Elizabeth Meyers
Theses and Dissertations
The question of fidelity, which has long been at the center of adaptation studies, pertains to the problem of authorship. Who can be an author and adapt a text and who cannot? In order to understand the problem of fidelity, this thesis asks larger questions about the problems of authorship, examining how authorship is changing in new media. Audiences are taking an ever-increasing role in the creation and interpretation of the texts they receive: a phenomenon this thesis refers to as participatory authorship, or the active participation of audience members in the creation, expansion, and adaptation of another's creative work. …
Beauty As An Action Of Art: From The Aspect Of Aesthetics Of Life, Baogui Zhang
Beauty As An Action Of Art: From The Aspect Of Aesthetics Of Life, Baogui Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
There are two ideas about the legitimacy of aesthetics as a discipline. Aesthetics of Elimination claims that beauty is an a prior super-concept which, absent of a corresponding super-reality, falls into the abyss of metaphysical essentialism. Hence, aesthetics is not a legitimate discipline. Metaphysical Aesthetics holds that beauty should be interpreted through Kantian purposiveness of aesthetics and claims the legitimacy of the discipline of aesthetics in its ideal-confirming value. This paper argues that metaphysical aesthetics, due to its theoretically self-enclosed nature, cannot allow aesthetic activities to take on realistic transcendent value. Aesthetics of Elimination, however, has its own major problem. …
Cognitive Mapping And The Adventures Of The Postmodern, Kellner Douglas
Cognitive Mapping And The Adventures Of The Postmodern, Kellner Douglas
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
During the 1980s and 1990s, debates about the differences between modernity and postmodernity as historical epochs; modernism and postmodernism in the arts; and wars between modern and postmodern theory defined key theoretical problematics in intellectualized spaces of the West, like the University. Fredric Jameson was one of the initiators of debates over the postmodern, and introduced the concept of cognitive mapping to describe theoretical accounts of the contemporary moment. I discuss conceptions of theory and mapping in the modern and postmodern debates and sort out appropriate uses of the discourse of the postmodern, and the usefulness of the postmodern turn …
Contemporary Russian Literature And Art Policy And Ideology Reconstruction Against The Revival Of Orthodox Church, Gangjian Tian
Contemporary Russian Literature And Art Policy And Ideology Reconstruction Against The Revival Of Orthodox Church, Gangjian Tian
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The literature and art policy in Putin's era epitomizes the "New Russian Idea" in the ideological field. To fill the ideological vacuum in the USSR, especially the Yeltsin era, the Russian government passed legislation on laws, education and diplomacy to introduce Orthodox Church into the reconstruction of national ideology. Through the core values of the Orthodox Church implanted into Russian literature and arts such as empire worship, eschatological salvation, community sense, etc, the policy of literature and art in the Putin government has performed important role in integrating societal thought, boosting the national spirit, curbing moral degradation, promoting national identity …
The Track And Off-Track Of Metaphysical Aesthetics: With A Discussion Of "Elimination" Of Elimination Aesthetics, Feng Wang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Metaphysical aesthetics appears to be a countercurrent to contemporary aesthetics, but it is actually an effort to find a direction in constructing aesthetic ideals, as a backwash and critique of the unfortunate fact that contemporary aesthetics has ignored metaphysics. From the perspective of aesthetic critique, this may be the right track of metaphysics. However, from the perspective of argumentation systems based on its theoretical resources, it may be conservative and foundationally unstable as it may lead to the establishment of an ideal aesthetics and further point to a setting up of some faith. What the Aesthetics of Elimination tries to …
