Announcing new & forthcoming titles in Aesthetics/Art Theory from Blackwell
Publishers
I thought that members of the Aesthetics / Art Theory discussion group may
be interested in the following publications from Blackwell Publishers.
Continental Aesthetics – Romanticism to Postmodernism: An Anthology
Edited by: Richard Kearney
This comprehensive anthology provides a collection of classic and
contemporary readings in continental aesthetics. It provides a
significant range of primary sources and extends from romanticism through
modernism to postmodernism and includes landmark texts from Kant,
Nietzsche, Hegel, Sartre, Derrida and Habermas, amongst others.
488 pages, June 2001

Feminism-Art-Theory
An Anthology 1968-2000
Edited by: Hilary Robinson
Charting over 30 years of feminist debate on the significance of gender in
the making and understanding of art, this archival anthology gathers
together 99 indicative texts from North America, Europe and Australasia.
The writings of artists and activists are juxtaposed with those of
academics, creating an entertaining and provocative web of ideas. Some of
the texts are now regarded as classic, but the anthology is particularly
notable for its inclusion of rare and significant material not reprinted
elsewhere.
728 pages, August 2001
0-6312-0849-6 £70 / $79.95 hb / 0-6312-0850-X £18.99 / $34.95 pb
Art and Value
George Dickie
George Dickie is most frequently associated with his “institutional theory
of art”, which situates the classification of objects as artworks in social
practices and institutions, rather than as features of human psychology.
Art and Value focuses broadly on questions of history, methods and the
nature of art theories. The discussions are crisp and clear and the
conclusions are consistently illuminating.
120 pages, August 2001
0-6312-2945-0 £45 / $56.95 hb / 0-6312-2946-9 £11.99 / $21.95 pb
Adorno – A Critical Reader
Edited by: Nigel Gibson
Few intellectuals have captured as much critical attention in the late
twentieth century as Theodor W. Adorno. The growing availability of his
works in English has inspired reassessment of his oeuvre and placed him at
the forefront of debates about the role of the intellectual. This reader
presents a collection of new essays by many of the world’s top critics that
examine Adorno’s impact on the arts in general.
448 pages, November 2001
0-6312-1248-5 £55 / $64.95 hb / 0-6312-1249-3 £15.99 / $29.95 pb
