Paperback. Condition: New. Applying Aesthetics to Everyday Life surveys current debates in the field of everyday aesthetics, examining its history, methodology and intersections with cognate research areas. Lisa Giombini and Adrián Kvokacka bring together an international team of renowned scholars who are shaping the present and future of the discipline. They demonstrate how the historical origins of everyday aesthetics emerges across the history of Western aesthetic thought, from Renaissance thinkers to the modern German philosophers Baumgarten, Kant and Heidegger. Chapters shed light on the field's methodological underpinnings, tracing its theoretical foundations back to epistemology and ethics and assess the potential of everyday aesthetics as a theoretical tool. They reveal its interdisciplinary nature and how it assists various fields of inquiry, including environmental and urban aesthetics, conservation ethics and the philosophy of art. Through fresh explorations of its origins, background and contemporary developments, this collection advances a new definition of everyday aesthetics and provides a cutting edge reflection on the world we inhabit today.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Las teorías del arte y la literatura nos proveen de las bases analíticas e interpretativas que hacen posible la reflexión sobre la obra de arte y, en términos más amplios, sobre el texto, sea este cultural, visual o literario. Más allá de la mera apreciación de la obra de arte o literaria, la dimensión teórica del arte y la literatura hacen posible ambas cosas: la investigación especializada sobre las obras de que se trate, y el impacto que tal reflexión y su convergencia con la práctica pedagógica tienen en el aula, esto es, en el mundo de la experiencia de los estudiantes. El presente volumen ofrece una guía actualizada de las teorías del arte y la literatura en lengua española dirigida muy especialmente a todos los estudiosos, investigadores y estudiantes, de bellas artes, historia del arte, restauración, estética y filosofía del arte, literatura y artes escénicas. En el volumen se abordan desde las principales propuestas formalistas y sus orígenes, la hermenéutica, la fenomenología y el estructuralismo, hasta las teorías crítica, institucional y simbólica, la deconstrucción, el feminismo, los estudios queer y transatlánticos, y los desarrollos teóricos del arte conceptual. En definitiva, este libro proporciona al lector herramientas fundamentales para entender las manifestaciones artísticas, filosóficas y literarias, así como sus importantes transformaciones, desde los inicios del siglo XX hasta la actualidad. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This companion investigates the philosophical and theoretical foundations determining the conditions of possibility and the limits that make the conservation, readaptation, and transformation of past buildings legitimate operations.As increasing ecological and economic challenges question opportunities for new construction, the process of restoring, transforming, and readapting buildings for new or continued use is becoming an essential part of architectural practice. At the same time, the role of building conservation is changing from mere material preservation to being part of a broader strategy for social regeneration, eco-awareness, and inclusive urban planning. Chapters of this volume explore the complex set of considerations that inform decisions to merely preserve, accurately restore or variously reuse a building. They also look at the broader philosophical concerns such as ethical and aesthetic values, combined with ideas of heritage, history, and collective identity. Case studies on reconstruction after war, gentrification, the restoration of ancient edifices, reconstruction following the effects of climate change, and the use of technology solutions among many others, make this a timely and urgent volume.Adopting a broad transcultural perspective with contributions from five continents, the volume combines theoretical approaches with more practical, case study-based investigations and will be of great interest to upper-level students and academics working in the fields of architecture, conservation, urban design, aesthetics, and heritage management. This book investigates the foundations determining the conditions of possibility and the limits that make the conservation, readaptation, and transformation of past buildings legitimate operations.
