CFP (journal articles): Evental Aesthetics

Evental Aesthetics
Call for Authors:
Vol. 1 No. 3 (2012)

Theme: Urbanity and Industry

Deadline: 1 July, 2012

The Editors of "Evental Aesthetics", an independent, peer-reviewed, online journal dedicated to philosophy and art, are pleased to invite submissions for our forthcoming issue, to be entitled "Urbanity and Industry". The aim of this issue is to discuss philosophical questions arising from aesthetic experiences of the urban, the mechanical, the technological, the utile, and the polluted; and from art forms or cultural practices that developed in or rely upon urban or industrial environments and ideologies.

We welcome both full-length articles (4,000-10,000 words, excluding endnotes) and Collisions (1,000-2,000 words). Collisions are brief (but well-written and thoughtful) responses to aesthetic experiences that raise philosophical questions for discussion, but that do not necessarily enact the discussion in full. More information on Collisions is available at http://eventalaesthetics.net/forauthors/ .

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
* Art “about” urbanity and/or industry, e.g. photography of Edward
Burtynsky; works like Anne LeBaron's opera "Crescent City"
* Aesthetic and/or philosophical responses to urban and/or industrial
disasters, e.g. 3/11: the earthquake and nuclear fallout in Japan
* Arts unique to urban spaces, e.g. street art, breakdancing, public art
* Artistic and musical cultures devoted to or centered in particular
cities, e.g. the New York School
* Urban sound art, e.g. work by Max Neuhaus, Bill Fontana, Yann Novak
* Everyday aesthetics
* Aesthetics and ideologies of technology, machinery, productivity, connectivity
* Matters concerning space, e.g. as discussed by Henri Lefebvre
* Aesthetics of urban protest
