Nederlands Genootschap voor EstheticaCFP: Art and war. NGE-conference,
Utrecht.
Thursday 18 and Friday 19 april 2013
b After eighteen months of negotiation, on 11 April 1713 diplomats from
all over Europe concluded a peace treaty in the Utrecht city hall,
which had enormous consequences for the countries involved and their
possessions overseas.b The Utrecht treaty is the occasion for a massive
cultural program in Utrecht, celebrating the arts and culture. We want
to add to this, in our own peculiar manner, by inviting proposals for
paper presentations in aesthetics on any of the following issues.KeyNote
Rob ScholteIssues
- Culture wars: high and low art (art and kitsch); subsidy-regimes.
E.g., subsidy cuts on b high artb that seems unable to fund itself by
sales to the masses.
- War as a theme in art. Are war-scenes depicted neutrally; should they
be? Did Picassobs Guernica perhaps have a societal impact on peace?
What to think of the artistbs freedom not to tell the truth?
- Peace as a theme in art. Peace in art?
- How do artists respond to the representation of war in the media? Can
art be understood as a response to epistemological indifference in
journalism? (Think of artists such as Goya, Manet and Picasso; and more
recently Anno Dijkstra, Roland Ophuis; Fernando Boterobs paintings of
Abu Graib atrocities, etc.)
- Strive between philosophical schools in the philosophy of art. Are
there unsurmountable differences between the Continental and the
Analytical schools in aesthetics? Does it make sense to distinguish
between these b schoolsb ?
- Philosophical aesthetics vs. empirical approaches (normativity and
preference). Can all philosophical questions (or even any) be solved
through empirical research?
- Isnbt artistic creativity a war on the easy?
The program will alot 30 minute slots per speaker, and includes a
poster session for phd projects, as well as a collaboration with a
local art institute.Venue
Sweelinckzaal, Drift 21, UtrechtDeadline
The deadline for submissions of 500-word proposals is January 31, 2013.
Decisions should be available within two weeks of the
deadline.ContactB the organisers:
