"Rediscovering Aesthetics" brings together prominent international
voices from art history, philosophy, and artistic practice to
discuss the current role of aesthetics within and across their
disciplines.
Following a period in which theories and histories of art, art
criticism, and artistic practice seemed to focus exclusively on
political, social, or empirical interpretations of art, aesthetics
is being rediscovered both as a vital arena for discussion and a
valid interpretive approach outside its traditional philosophical
domain. This volume is distinctive, because it provides a selection
of significant but divergent positions. The diversity of the views
presented here demonstrates that a critical rethinking of
aesthetics can be undertaken in a variety of (possibly
incompatible) ways. The contributions open a transdisciplinary
debate from which a new field of aesthetics may begin to emerge.
Contributors include: Claire Bishop, Diarmuid Costello, Paul
Crowther, Arthur Danto, Nicholas Davey, Thierry de Duve, James
Elkins, Francis Halsall, Michael Ann Holly, Julia Jansen, Michael
Kelly, Robert Morris, Tony O'Connor, Peter Osborne, Adrian Piper,
David Raskin, Carolee Schneemann, Richard Shiff, Wolfgang Welsch,
and Richard Woodfield.
