Systems of Aesthetics

Aesthetics is the branch of philosophy concerned with the study of beauty, art, and taste, as well as the creation and appreciation of works of art. It is concerned with questions about the nature of beauty, the criteria for judging aesthetic value, and the ways in which aesthetic experience can contribute to our understanding of the world and our place within it. Aesthetics is also concerned with the relationship between art and the broader cultural, social, and historical contexts in which it is produced and consumed.

There are several contemporary systems or branches of aesthetics, including:

Analytic aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is grounded in the methods and theories of analytic philosophy, and is focused on the analysis of aesthetic concepts, such as beauty, taste, and artistic value.

Phenomenological aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is grounded in the methods and theories of phenomenology, and is focused on the subjective experience of art and aesthetic phenomena.

Postmodern aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that emerged in the late 20th century, and is focused on challenging traditional aesthetic categories and concepts, and exploring the role of power and politics in aesthetic judgments.

Feminist aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on examining the role of gender in aesthetic judgments and practices, and on exploring the ways in which traditional aesthetic concepts and categories have been shaped by patriarchal norms and values.

Environmental aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on the relationship between aesthetics and the natural environment, and on exploring the aesthetic value of natural landscapes, as well as the ways in which human activities affect the environment.

Neuroaesthetics: This is an interdisciplinary approach to aesthetics that draws on neuroscience, psychology, and other fields, and is focused on understanding the neural and cognitive mechanisms that underlie aesthetic experiences.

Evolutionary aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is grounded in evolutionary biology, and is focused on exploring the evolutionary origins of aesthetic preferences and judgments.

Digital aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the aesthetics of digital media, such as video games, virtual reality, and computer-generated art.

Cognitive aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on the cognitive processes that underlie aesthetic experiences, and on exploring the ways in which cognitive science can contribute to our understanding of aesthetics.

Aesthetic ethics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the ethical dimensions of art and aesthetic practices, and on examining the ways in which aesthetic experiences can shape our moral values and judgments.

Critical race aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the role of race and racism in aesthetic judgments and practices, and on challenging the Eurocentric assumptions that have shaped traditional aesthetic categories.

Postcolonial aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the aesthetic traditions and practices of formerly colonized cultures, and on examining the ways in which colonialism has shaped aesthetic values and judgments.

Animal aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the aesthetic experiences of non-human animals, and on examining the ways in which our understanding of aesthetics can be extended beyond the human realm.

Empirical aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is grounded in empirical research, and is focused on studying the psychological and physiological responses to aesthetic stimuli.

Marxist aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the role of class and social structures in shaping aesthetic values and judgments, and on examining the ways in which art reflects and reproduces social relations.

Hermeneutic aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on the interpretation of art and aesthetic experience, and on examining the ways in which we make meaning out of aesthetic objects and practices.

Affective aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the emotional and affective dimensions of aesthetic experience, and on examining the ways in which art and aesthetics can elicit emotional responses.

Embodied aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on the embodied and sensory dimensions of aesthetic experience, and on examining the ways in which our bodily experiences shape our aesthetic judgments and preferences.

Ecological aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the relationship between human beings and the natural world, and on examining the ways in which aesthetics can contribute to environmental ethics and sustainability.

Disability aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the aesthetic experiences of people with disabilities, and on examining the ways in which our understanding of aesthetics can be expanded to include the perspectives of marginalized groups.

Global aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the diversity of aesthetic practices and traditions around the world, and on examining the ways in which globalization and cultural exchange are shaping aesthetic values and judgments.

Queer aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the role of queer identity and experience in aesthetic judgments and practices, and on challenging heteronormative assumptions that have shaped traditional aesthetic categories.

Performance aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the nature of performance, and on examining the ways in which performance can be a medium for artistic expression and aesthetic experience.

Sound aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the nature of sound, and on examining the ways in which sound can be a medium for artistic expression and aesthetic experience.

Virtual aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the aesthetic experiences of virtual and digital media, and on examining the ways in which technology is shaping our understanding of art and aesthetics.

Multimodal aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the ways in which different modes of sensory perception and expression interact to create aesthetic experience, and on examining the ways in which the integration of multiple modes can expand our understanding of aesthetics.

Posthuman aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on examining the ways in which our understanding of aesthetics is being transformed by advances in biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and other forms of posthuman technology.

Everyday aesthetics: This is an approach to aesthetics that is focused on exploring the aesthetic dimensions of everyday life, and on examining the ways in which aesthetic experiences can be found in the ordinary and mundane aspects of our lives.

Some traditional systems of aesthetics include:

Formalism: This approach emphasizes the formal properties of works of art, such as their arrangement of lines, colors, and shapes, and the ways in which these properties contribute to our aesthetic experience of the work.

Expressionism: This approach emphasizes the emotional or expressive qualities of works of art, and the ways in which they communicate feelings, moods, or attitudes.

Realism: This approach emphasizes the representational qualities of works of art, and the ways in which they accurately depict or portray the world around us.

Pragmatism: This approach emphasizes the practical or functional qualities of works of art, and the ways in which they can serve practical purposes or contribute to our everyday lives.

Aestheticism: This approach emphasizes the importance of aesthetic experience and the pursuit of beauty for its own sake, independent of any practical or moral considerations.

Imitationalism: This approach emphasizes the importance of art as a form of imitation or representation, and the ways in which works of art can capture and convey the essence or appearance of their subjects.

Symbolism: This approach emphasizes the use of symbols in art, and the ways in which works of art can communicate complex ideas, emotions, or experiences through the use of symbolic imagery.

Objectivism: This approach emphasizes the objective qualities of beauty and the ways in which aesthetic judgments can be based on objective criteria.

Subjectivism: This approach emphasizes the subjective or personal nature of aesthetic experience, and the ways in which our aesthetic judgments are influenced by our individual preferences, emotions, and attitudes.

Institutionalism: This approach emphasizes the role of cultural institutions, such as museums and galleries, in shaping our understanding and appreciation of art. It also examines the ways in which social and cultural contexts influence our aesthetic judgments.

Ethical aesthetics: This approach emphasizes the relationship between aesthetics and ethics, and the ways in which our aesthetic judgments are influenced by our moral and ethical beliefs.

Historical aesthetics: This approach emphasizes the importance of historical context in understanding and interpreting works of art, and the ways in which artistic styles and movements have evolved over time.

Formalist modernism: This approach emphasizes the importance of formal innovation and experimentation in modern art, and the ways in which modernist artists sought to push the boundaries of traditional art forms.

Structuralism: This approach emphasizes the underlying structures and systems that shape our perception and interpretation of works of art, and the ways in which these structures influence our aesthetic judgments.

Hermeneutics: This approach emphasizes the importance of interpretation and understanding in our aesthetic engagement with works of art, and the ways in which our interpretation of a work can shape our aesthetic experience of it.

Psychoanalytic aesthetics: This approach emphasizes the importance of the unconscious mind and psychological processes in shaping our aesthetic judgments and experiences of art.

These approaches offer a broad range of perspectives on the nature and significance of aesthetics, and each approach brings its own unique set of questions and concerns to the study of aesthetics. Together, they contribute to a rich and diverse understanding of aesthetics as a field of inquiry.

a beautiful man with long black hair dressed in all white sat next to me on the train back from denmark. i complimented his outfit, and he asked me where the train was going. after i told him, he then pointed at my shirt which says 'catastrophe' and said "oh i know a lot about those." and laughed uproariously.

and then he asked me "do you know about norse mythology?" and i said yes a bit because i read the edda a decade ago, and he said "i met fenrir in denmark" and i said that's probably not good if fenrir is walking around. and he said "oh don't worry about it, vithar will take care of it" and i replied oh but that's ragnarøk, that's still pretty bad for us mortals is it not? and he grinned at me like i said something incredibly funny. and then he ignored me for the rest of the train ride?

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

5 years ago, I was in Rehab.

10 years ago, I was watching my Potential and Opportunities dissolve and evaporate in an ocean of cheap gin and expensive whiskey.

But 5 years ago, I was in Rehab.

One of the exercises they had us perform was to imagine ourselves happy, 5 years in the future.

Many of us in that room had forgotten how to imagine nice things happening to them. A few snorted (well, I snorted), finding the notion that we’d even still be around in 5 years grimly humorous.

For about half of us, it was the last stop on the way down.

But I indulged the therapist. I was there, after all, because I did not want to die. So, I imagined myself, 5 years hence.

Happy.

It came to me all at once; an artistic remix on Norman Rockwell’s Freedom From Want, reframed with myself placing food at the table.

Sunday Dinner At My Place, I answered, when it came my turn to share my fantasy. I was asked what food I imagined eating.

It’s not the meal itself, I said, it’s the implications framed around it. Sunday Dinner At My Place means that I have a Place. It means that I have Family that will actually speak to me and friends who actually want to see me. It means money enough not just to feed myself but others too. It means having the time to spare to take the time preparing the meal.

A lot of nodding heads all around me. A struck chord. Many people with no Place, in that place. Nowhere that would lament their leaving.

5 years hence, as I lay down to sleep in my Home, with my Wife and my Son, surrounded by my Art and my Flowers, I reflect.

It was a long road. It was hard. We lost people. So many people. There were long days and long nights and hospital stays. Angry arguments with ghosts. I changed, in ways I never hoped for, or expected. Good ways, finally, for once. Slowly, against the backdrop of a world in chaos, I found my mind.

Sometimes, My Wife wondered aloud, what she did to deserve me. After some stumbling with my feelings, I eventually settled on an answer.

I’m a Rescue.

She gave me a Home.

And, so, I gave her a Family.

It seemed fair

This Sunday, my folks, which whom I have not had a shouting match in years, will come over for dinner. We will cook and eat together. My Friend became My Wife, and she took a piece of me and with it she made Our Son. There will be many hugs, and no violence. Good Things Happened.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t know what the future holds.

don’t give up yet, ok?

It could get good, even.

The Guardian view on the EU-Mercosur trade deal: another farmer flashpoint approaches | Editorial

Anticipating the strong protectionist winds that will blow from Donald Trump’s White House, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has been responding by making her own economic weather. Last week, Ms von der Leyen flew to Montevideo, 5,000 miles south of Washington DC, to controversially conclude negotiations in one of the biggest free trade agreements in history.…

Psychology a level will be the death of me (I love it)

Look at the A3 sheet I wrote today :3

[king-nyx]

Say it with me now

You are never late to a fandom. Your fic is never "invalid" for being "late". Your fic doesn't need a high word limit. Your fic does not need a high standard. Your fic does not need to be highly popular. Your fic isn't less valid than a popular author's fic. Your fic isn't inheritly bad. Your fic is amazing. Your fic is valid. The only thing that matters is that you're having fun. Fandom is not consumption and consumerism. Fandom is fun, free and for the people. Fandom is not a popularity contest. We're all nerds at the end of the day.

[playfulpublicspaces]

"When you go out, things happen. That means that the moment you get out of your house and step foot on the street, an adventure begins, because many unexpected things happen and you cannot forsee. And theatre, because it enables you to play, in many ways. And public space has many norms and many rules. Just like in theatre, it has many conventions. And these conventions, of public space and threatre, if they are merged, if you playfully question them, then you find a space between that is like “reality fiction”. And there is where we can find what we are passionate about." paraphrased: we view life through a set of filters, mundane. But the street, real life is a painting, beautiful, which we miss seeing because we don't look. So we make new filters for people to look through. We give them loving, playfilled filters. It can have a theraputic effect. A libertine effect. Let's have an adventure effect. This is a time of sadness in the world, and through street art we have the possibility in some way to turn this apocalyptiuc energy, into an opportunity to create a different narrative, other narratives, multiple narratives. Because the narratives that already exist are very clear. With this creativity we have this power. This power is contagious. It empowers people. We invite yuou to stand infront of everyday life, to soak it up. To understand your positione with this and everyday life. And from there, to manufacture your own creative filters on it. And to have a great time doing it.
