We're excited to announce that we'll be live videostreaming most of the Society for the Humanities conference on Global Aesthetics: Intersecting Culture, Theory, Practice. The conference happens on the Cornell campus, A. D. White House from 9-6 both Friday and Saturday. You can hookup up via: http://www.arts.cornell.edu/sochum/ (only the Bosteels' lecture in a different building won't be streamed, but will be video archived for later access). The Society for the Humanities at Cornell and the Mellon Central New York Humanities Corridor present a conference on Global Aesthetics: Intersecting Culture, Theory, Practice Organized by Timothy Murray October 15-16, 2010 A. D. White House, Cornell University Leading international artists, curators, and scholars will gather at the Society for the Humanities, Cornell University, to discuss transformations of aesthetics and interdisciplinary practice in our age of networked connection. Of particular interest to this discussion will be reflection on global approaches to aesthetics and intermedial artistic practice that have been articulated in dialogue with or in contention with the Occidental tradition of aesthetics. How does the aesthetic function in Latin American, Asian, African, South Asian, Australian, Middle Eastern, and global indigenous contexts? And how might procedures of creative practice and curatorial engagement combine with academic practices of criticism and translation to enable or enhance cross-cultural expressions of aesthetic difference? The conference will feature two days of presentations and discussion by leading international figures in the related fields of art, music, media, aesthetics, and critical theory.
