<nettime-ann> Evental Aesthetics: Call for Submissions |
. Call for Submissions Evental Aesthetics Vol 1. No. 1 . Hegelian Topics in Aesthetics http://eventalaesthetics.net In an essay on Hegel's aesthetics, Paul De Man quips, .Whether we know it, or like it, or not, most of us are Hegelians and quite orthodox ones at that.. But what does it mean today to be a Hegelian within an environment in which criticism has already deconstructed the institutions and values that make the concept of art possible, and in which new art forms cast into doubt the very ontology of art? The inaugural issue of Evental Aesthetics begins with the premise that Hegelian aesthetics are not only relevant but indispensable for making sense of today.s art and art criticism. We therefore welcome essays that attend both to Hegel's writings and to recent writers (for example, but not limited to, Badiou, Malabou, and Vattimo) who have blazed new trails within Hegelian discourse. We seek not hagiography but incisive, thoughtful reflections - critical or favorable - on Hegel's legacy. For Articles, suggested angles of approach include: Hegel's thoughts on a specific form of art (music, architecture, painting, poetry, etc.) Hegel and abstract art the 'end' of art natural beauty as opposed to that of art the aesthetics of and in Hegel's logic and phenomenology the relationship between art, religion, and philosophy relationships between Hegel's aesthetic theory and earlier or more recent theories the pertinence of Hegel's thought to particular artworks. Other ideas concerning Hegel's relationship with aesthetics are also welcome.
