In his exhaustive argument, McGregor addresses the continuing conversation within aesthetic education overlapping narrative representation with his unique contribution, criminology. As a rhetorician with an interdisciplinary focus on religion in the American public sphere, I currently research how white supremacy intersects with conservative politics and revivalism. Mixing evangelical religion and white supremacist politics is like dropping Mentos into Diet Coke, and I am exploring that rhetorical reaction and how we can dilute the political geyser. McGregor's analysis and prescription speak directly to my project. Since, as McGregor proves, narratives teach ethical understanding and similar narratives permeate unjust political ideologies, our creating ethical counter-narratives will promote social justice. Intersecting McGregor's theory on narrative justice with rhetorical studies and American religion complements and complicates his conclusions. If exemplary narratives can improve our ethical action, then a fictional superhero can inspire us to stand up against intolerance, a Bob Jones College alumnus can help us visualize alternatives to hate, and even a thirty-foot-tall everyman-of-color can stretch our imagination toward change.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":"54 1","pages":"18 - 6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43528187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I then conclude by showing how “resilience” can be used in the analysis of various Wittgensteinian “families” of dance, which, in turn, could facilitate positive educational changes in philosophy, dance, and society, with particular efficacy on the axis of gender. In brief, by teaching a conception of strength as vulnerability (instead of machismo’s view of strength as apathetic “toughness”), a pedagogy of dancing resilience provides additional support for feminists (including Anzaldúa, Haraway, Butler, and Concepción) who advocate a cautious openness toward seemingly unlikely resources and allies (including analytic methodologies, Machiavellian politics, and the discourses of the natural sciences).","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":"54 1","pages":"1 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46802882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cultural background plays an important part in the field of the visual art. Given the rich cultural context of the pictorial hybridization Chinese–European in the early Qing dynasty, the pictorial works can be used in studying semiotics. This article addresses a discourse on some semiotic reflections in painting. It focuses on the application of the theory of the semiotic scientist Charles Peirce that has proven to be suitable for analyzing pictorial works. The model chosen as a subject for investigation is a painting in ink on silk titled “Portrait of Qianlong’s Consort with Yongyan as a Child,” painted using Western techniques in the eighteenth century. The analysis of the portrait offers an appropriate basis to develop some semiotic reflections on this work of art by contributing to aesthetic and artistic awareness. Semiotic structures were employed to develop an understanding of the pictorial forms by turning each element into a tool of communication. The semi-otic reading of this work is concerned with the visual art education and sensorial message of the painting.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":"54 1","pages":"107 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46595221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The commodification of education has been fought on different fronts, yet without the recognition that the remedies themselves may promulgate and recirculate the existential threat they try to remove from our schools. That the battle is already lost at a level one order more complex than generally thought is showcased by examining here how we teach a particular work, a specimen of Greek statuary. Heidegger claimed that there must be some art through which all art is intelligible and pointed to the Greek statue. The return to neoclassicism and the Romantics, from where aesthetics draws its self-proclaimed potentiality to counter neoliberalism, is somehow in tune with Heidegger’s dictum. However, both the aesthetic approach and Heidegger, who fought aestheticism, are shown here to have failed before the higher demand that the statue exacts on our epistemology both on its conclusions and on its method. We have grappled with the Greek statue since the dawn of Western thought, and we now think we know what this thing is, yet all we teach is our ignorance compiled with the ignorance of our ignorance. The projections of this elucidation suggest that the alienation that in our day poses as education will not end, unless we gain access to that art which determines both what art is and how we should teach it.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":"54 1","pages":"70 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46832160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Central to these discussions is the claim that admiration of virtuous exemplars leads us to emulate them. Beginning from this familiar claim, in this paper I take a different approach by focusing on the expressive dimension of this affective experience. George Eliot’s best-known novel, Middlemarch, serves as a reference point for my discussion. Bracketing thicker forms of emulation, a more basic form of mimesis that the admiration of character naturally elicits is the attempt to represent this character to others. This descriptive project is attended by challenges of different kinds that tell us something important about its nature and parameters. The description of character is here motivated by a desire to convert others to one’s reasons. It is not so much a science as an art, one that demotes the standard virtues to the status of merely one, often not maximally expressive, tool among others. How does narrative mimesis become real-life emulation? How do encounters with outstanding character change us? One way of answering this question involves highlighting the role of such encounters in giving focus and content to desire, helping develop what Adam Smith called the standard of “absolute perfection.” Yet sensitivity to beauty of character is not merely a means to the formation of good character but one of its very constituents.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":"54 1","pages":"47 - 69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48992210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The historical paradigm shift from \"unselfconscious form-making processes\" to \"design-by-drawing\" is closely associated with the current transformation of manual drawing into \"digital\" or \"spatial sketching.\" It is argued that design-by-drawing has changed our view of manual drawing as a body technique, for example, from hand–eye coordination more toward an aesthetic perspective by coupling certain forms of attention to this technique. Design-by-drawing is transforming manual drawing into diagramming, coding, or modeling within the paradigm of system design. It becomes obvious that the paradigm shift is not based on disruptive but on incremental innovations since the 1960s. An important focus is on the disparity between a deskilling of classical manual abilities and a reskilling of \"body techniques\" by the use of innovative man–machine interfaces. By reviewing the pros and cons of manual drawings from the fields of engineering design, graphic design, and art education, future prospects of the use of manual drawings are shown. Examining historical changes in manual drawing can help in understanding current transformations. The arguments presented can contribute to the development of a new framework for the use of this classic technique in design.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":"54 1","pages":"56 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46193554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, I will argue that interesting points of relevance between Zhuangzi's comments on mei and contemporary theories of beauty can be found and that an intercultural interpretation of mei and the beautiful can shed light on aspects of both traditional Chinese aesthetics and contemporary Western aesthetics by placing the two in conversation with one another. Zhuangzi seems to support neither relativism nor universalism in his understanding of beauty, though he touches on both relativist and universalist ideas. I argue there are certain superficial similarities between Zhuangzi's aesthetics and positive aesthetics. But, on a deeper level, Zhuangzi advocates a form of negative aesthetics that is not dissimilar from those already prominent in contemporary Continental aesthetics, such as Christoph Menke, Gernot Böhme, and François Jullien. In this way, I highlight points for dialogue between Zhuangzi's theory of beauty and contemporary discourse, as well as the ramifications of these ideas for thinking about the future of aesthetic education.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":"54 1","pages":"21 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47803233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though Shakespeare almost entirely borrowed the material of his Romeo and Juliet from literary sources, the play represents an original writing towering above all its \"prototypes.\" The newness manifests itself, first and foremost, in the guiding idea that makes the play at once a hymn to young love and a lament for its doom in the \"down-to-earth\" world of maturity. Originality consists in adjusting the material obtained to the author's own intent, rearranging the parts and working up the individual elements, marking out the key link, and building round it another framework that fits with the mission—that for the sake of which a creative work is done. And it is just this junction of the guiding idea with the reconfigured material that constitutes the marrow of originality. In developing the argument, the author exposes Shakespeare's view of love, his recomposition of what has been borrowed from the others' works, revision of the elements, and elicitation of the key link and its adjustment, on one hand, to the guiding idea and, on the other, to the rest of the contents. The ways and techniques Shakespeare used to remake and supplement the material come to light. From the analysis made, the author derives a comprehensive pattern of novelty in literature and—broader—in art.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":"54 1","pages":"112 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44488995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
