Illusion In The Commonplace : Reinterpreting Ernst Gombrich's Concept Of Illusion, Jonathan Auyer
Illusion In The Commonplace : Reinterpreting Ernst Gombrich's Concept Of Illusion, Jonathan Auyer
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
In the dissertation I analyze and interpret Ernst Gombrich's book Art and Illusion, focusing on his view that illusion is involved in pictorial representation. Since Gombrich never gave a concise, systematic account of illusion, my goal will be to fill this void by using the text of Art and Illusion as well as Gombrich's subsequent writings in order to present a coherent account of how illusion might play a role in a picture's representing an object.
A Problem For Fine Individuation And Artist Essentialism, Jeffrey C. Goodman
A Problem For Fine Individuation And Artist Essentialism, Jeffrey C. Goodman
Faculty Scholarship
Fine Individuation says it’s impossible for distinct people who are not collaborating on a work of art to produce one and same artwork. This is an intra-world thesis, but is necessarily true, if true at all. Author-Essentialism says it’s impossible for someone else to produce one and the same work of art produced by some actual artist. This is an alleged necessary truth regarding cross-world relations. Both theses have been vigorously defended. I here argue that both are false, but for reasons that are entirely novel.

Influence Of Global Aesthetics On Chinese Aesthetics: The Adaptation Of Moxie And The Case Of Dafen Cun, Eva Kit Wah Man
Influence Of Global Aesthetics On Chinese Aesthetics: The Adaptation Of Moxie And The Case Of Dafen Cun, Eva Kit Wah Man
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
This article examines the practice of moxie or imitation in art in Chinese aesthetics, compares it with the Platonic notion of mimesis, and explicates its original meaning. I then trace its development from traditional painting to the late Qing export paintings in which traditional Chinese aesthetics was combined with Western perspectives to satisfy Western tastes. The discussion extends to the contemporary development of moxie in China by considering the case of Dafen Cun, an art village in Shenzhen that is famous for its copycat art practices. It explores how Dafen Cun has become a major exporter of copies of Western …

Public Aquariums And Marine Aesthetics, Nola Semczyszyn
Public Aquariums And Marine Aesthetics, Nola Semczyszyn
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
Given the inaccessibility of the marine environment, the closest many of us come to viewing it is at public aquariums. Aquariums also provide us with rich aesthetic experiences, but it is not clear whether we appreciate the marine environment at aquariums. I present the dilemma of aquarium appreciation as an inconsistent triad: 1) we treat aquariums as places to appreciate marine environments, 2) aquariums are artifacts, not natural objects, and 3) nature and art should be appreciated differently. I argue that aquarium displays are scientific models of marine environments with aesthetic, educational, and scientific aims. My solution to the dilemma …
Atopia & Aesthetics. A Modal Perspective, Yves Millet
Atopia & Aesthetics. A Modal Perspective, Yves Millet
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
Living in an era where global exchanges of forms and ideas are the norm raises some questions about the status of artistic practices. To explore these questions, we use Roland Barthes’ notion of atopia and the complementary yet related notion of Neutral on which Barthes commented in his later years. Atopia highlights the fact that rather than viewing current artistic activities as searches for homogenous identity, we need to view them as belonging to plural communities of practices offering modal and qualitative distinctions. We suggest that adopting this perspective sheds light on the capacity of any individual to act creatively …

In Praise Of Ambiguity: Musical Subtlety And Merleau-Ponty, Tiger C. Roholt
In Praise Of Ambiguity: Musical Subtlety And Merleau-Ponty, Tiger C. Roholt
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
When a jazz, rock, or hip-hop drummer strikes certain notes in each measure slightly late, instead of hearing the degree to which those notes are late, we typically hear the effects of those variations; namely, a groove, the "feel" of a rhythm. Slight variations of pitch function similarly. In this essay, I argue that certain analytic theorists go astray due to their preoccupation with the variations themselves. By invoking Maurice Merleau-Ponty's insights into subtle visual perceptions, and his notion of perceptual indeterminacy, I avoid an account of musical subtlety suggested by Daniel Dennett that is too coarse-grained, as well as …

The Aesthetics Of Resistance, Giuseppe Patella
The Aesthetics Of Resistance, Giuseppe Patella
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
Talking about resistance means raising the question of opposition, of denying all attempts at neutralizing opposites, which would be typical of ideological construction, either political or aesthetic. This essay investigates the meaning and the reasons of resistance according to a theoretical, aesthetic, and cultural point of view. The thesis is that resistance has to be considered as an articulation of difference, and that means following a different logic of thought, no longer rigid or monolithic but plural, like a new grammar, syntax, and practice of creativity, challenge, provocation, multiplicity, and pluralism. In this sense the aesthetics of resistance is an …
Hegel's Symbolic Stage: An Old Perspective On Contemporary Art, Laura T. Disumma-Koop
Hegel's Symbolic Stage: An Old Perspective On Contemporary Art, Laura T. Disumma-Koop
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
This paper proposes an evaluation of contemporary art works in light of some of the concepts embedded in Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s symbolic stage. My belief is that an analysis of Hegel’s conditions for the affirmation of art opens the door to a discussion of contemporary artistic trends, a discussion that also takes distance from the (perhaps) abused question of what defines art. Art does more than question itself; art questions, and challenges, the nature of our perception.
The World Achieved: Film And The Enacted Mind, John M. Carvalho
The World Achieved: Film And The Enacted Mind, John M. Carvalho
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
Stanley Cavell taught us that films give us a view of a world that differs from the world in which we view films only by not being that world. Films, that is, screen a world for us and screen us from a world that is not our own. Cavell’s view is based on a photographic conception of film images. A film is composed of photographic images collected on reels and put in motion at twenty-four frames per second. In “More of the World Viewed,” Cavell dares us to come up with a theory of perception that challenges the assumption that …
