Abstract

L'idée esthétique résiste-t-elle à l'existence de formes hétérogènes ? L'attrait de l'hybride, dont témoignent des performances plastiques et théâtrales ou simplement des œuvres de littérature hantées par la peinture et la musique, nous contraint-il à résilier une pensée unitaire du principe d'art ? C'est autour des rapports entre art et pratiques d'œuvres, entre système esthétique et transactions artistiques que tournent les textes rassemblés ici, et les débats auxquels ils ont donné lieu. Hybride et cependant concerté, à l'image même d'un objet non unifiable, ce livre interroge les désaccords qui se sont noués, historiquement et philosophiquement, entre l'art et son concept.

Abstract

This title is the result of a one-week workshop sponsored by the Swedish research agency, FRN, on the interface between complexity and art. Among others, it includes discussions on whether ""good"" art is ""complex"" art, how artists see the term ""complex"", and what poets try to convey in word about complex behavior in nature.

Abstract

Die Beiträge dieses Buchs sind einem Phänomen auf der Spur, das widersprüchlich anmutet: Wir, Computernutzerinnen und User, sind im digitalen Raum in alle Ewigkeit wiederzufinden. Man will einerseits wahrnehmbar, andererseits doch nicht gleich wiedererkennbar sein, sich nicht an eine unüberschaubare Öffentlichkeit ausliefern, gar das Gesicht verlieren. Das Buch dokumentiert künstlerische und andere Strategien, die Möglichkeiten aufzeigen, im unendlichen Buch der Gesichter zu erscheinen und sich dabei doch jeglicher Erfassung zu entziehen. Der Wunsch, kein bloßes Objekt des facialen Ausverkaufs zu werden, bleibt dabei nicht bloß ein ästhetisches Unterfangen. Die Beiträge formulieren auch kämpferische wie ironische Ansagen gegen eine digitale Dynamik, die unseren Alltag längst erreicht hat. The contributions to this book explore a phenomenon that appears to be a contradiction in itself - we, the users of computers, can be tracked in digital space for all eternity. Although, on the one hand, one wants to be noticed and noticeable, on the other hand one does not necessarily want to be recognized at the first instance, being prey to an unfathomable public, or - even less so - to lose face. The book documents artistic and other strategies that point out options for appearing in the infinite book of faces whilst nevertheless avoiding being included in any records. The desire not to become a mere object of facial sell-out does not just remain an aesthetic endeavor. The contributions also contain combative and sarcastic statements against a digital dynamic that has already penetrated our everyday lives.

Abstract

The world shows up for us-it is present in our thought and perception. But, as Alva Noë contends in his latest exploration of the problem of consciousness, it doesn't show up for free. The world is not simply available; it is achieved rather than given. As with a painting in a gallery, the world has no meaning-no presence to be experienced-apart from our able engagement with it. We must show up, too, and bring along what knowledge and skills we've cultivated. This means that education, skills acquisition, and technology can expand the world's availability to us and transform our consciousness. Although deeply philosophical, Varieties of Presence is nurtured by collaboration with scientists and artists. Cognitive science, dance, and performance art as well as Kant and Wittgenstein inform this literary and personal work of scholarship intended no less for artists and art theorists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, and anthropologists than for philosophers. Noë rejects the traditional representational theory of mind and its companion internalism, dismissing outright the notion that conceptual knowledge is radically distinct from other forms of practical ability or know-how. For him, perceptual presence and thought presence are species of the same genus. Both are varieties of exploration through which we achieve contact with the world. Forceful reflections on the nature of understanding, as well as substantial examination of the perceptual experience of pictures and what they depict or model are included in this far-ranging discussion.

Abstract

"Long after painting, sculpture, photography, and film developed along with their materials - canvas and panel, marble and bronze, and celluloid film - a new generation of art has emerged in which digital, electronic, architectural, and performative materials have offered new forms for creative expression and experience. In much of this new art, the medium - no longer composed of passive materials - now embraces and challenges viewers to work as co-creators of aesthetic experience. Starting from the impossibility of understanding this new and complex art solely within the framework of contemporary art history and criticism, The Engagement Aesthetic offers new modes of critique for new media works of art, literature, and performance that operate in complex ways. Blending a range of methodologies from phenomenology, art history, linguistics, and statistical analysis, Ricardo explores how a new kinship between individual participation, electronic media, virtual and actual space, and mediated language results in a new aesthetic of mutual engagement."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

Kunst is zoveel meer dan een esthetische ervaring of een intrigerend concept. Het is ook de toepassing van nieuwe technologieën, een instrument van politiek en religie, een katalysator van revoluties, een trigger van extreme reacties. Kunst is de blauwdruk van een tijdperk, een drager van ongrijpbare betekenis. Kunst vertegenwoordigt miljoenen euro's maar ook een zee van ontroering. Hoe is kunst in 2.500 jaar tijd geëvolueerd van de verbeelding van de ideale mens tot een abstract zwart vierkant? Waarom is Merda d'artista meer waard dan een prachtig zeventiende-eeuws landschap? Dit toegankelijke boek schetst in vijf hoofdstukken evenzoveel keer het verhaal van de beeldende kunsten in West-Europa van de oudheid tot moderne kunst. Zo wordt kunst niet gepresenteerd als een esthetische profetie, maar als een complex samenspel van menselijk vernuft en snel veranderende historische omstandigheden. Koenraad Jonckheere is hoogleraar kunstgeschiedenis aan de Universiteit Gent. Hij is gefascineerd door het verschijnsel kunst en schreef eerder over onder andere portretkunst, kunsthandel, iconoclasme en Rubens. Dit boek is zijn magnum opus.

Abstract

Giovanni Pascoli (1855?1912) is one of Italy?s most canonical and beloved poets. In Beyond the Family Romance, Maria Truglio offers fresh insight into the uncanny qualities of Pascoli?s domestic verse. As suggested by the Freudian title, this study opens a dialogue between Pascoli?s literature and Freud?s theories, with a particular focus on each author?s interrogation of origins. Through close readings and historical contextualization, themes of regression, memory, and other manifestations of?origins? are analyzed, moving Pascoli?s poetry beyond the biographical strictures that have hitherto confined it. Truglio?s post-structuralist readings question the dichotomy between?safety within the home? and the?threatening outside world,? revealing the ambivalences with which images of the home are fraught in Pascoli?s poetry. In addition to the sustained comparison with Freud?s writing, Beyond the Family Romance explores parallels between Pascoli?s work and such writers as Tarchetti, Boito, Poe, and Invernizio. Rethinking the concept of the fanciullino (?little child?), Truglio shows that Pascoli?s poetry enacts a symbiosis between the logic of the rational modern adult and the mythic vision of the child.
