CFP: PJAB Special Issue:B Global Aesthetics (Autumn 2013)
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS 11th AUGUST, 2013
The editors of the Postgraduate Journal of Aesthetics invite
contributions forB a special issue that examinesB the philosophical
reflection on artB as practiced outside the western philosophical
traditions.B We are looking for original articles that discuss and
analyse aesthetic problems, articulated in dialogue with, independent
of, or in contrast to the Western tradition of philosophical
aesthetics.B
Philosophy of art in the western academy has largely grown out of the
western philosophical tradition, as well as out of the history of
western art. While much of this tradition purports to describe to all
aesthetic concepts and practices, its theories are rarely confronted
with non-western art or philosophy. There is still alarmingly little
professional interestB takenB in non-western philosophies of art and
aesthetics in the anglophone and European academy.
With this in mind, we invite submissions of essays of not more than
3,500 words by 11th August, 2013. Essays can be on any topic within
philosophical aesthetics, as long as they explore aesthetic and
artistic practice throughout the world, including, but not limited to,
Near Eastern, African, Asian and Latin and Native American traditions,
or focus on these traditions'B relationships with the philosophy of art
in the Western analytic or continental traditions.
Suggestions of topics include:
The representation of movement inB MangaB comics
Native American theories of literature
Confucianism and the ethics of music
The reception of Aristotle'sB PoeticsB in the Arabic world
The possibility of a comparative aesthetics
Modernism and Islamic formalism
Aboriginal conceptions of pictorial perspective
What is 'outsider art'?
The role of theB rasikaB inB Indian accounts of aesthetic value
