Established in 1942 by the American Society for Aesthetics, The
Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism publishes current research
articles, symposia, special issues, and timely reviews of books in aesthetics
and the arts. The “arts” are taken to include not only the traditional forms
such as music, literature, landscape architecture, dance, painting, architecture,
sculpture, and other visual arts, but also more recent additions including
photography, film, earthworks, performance and conceptual art, the crafts and
decorative arts, contemporary technical innovations, and other cultural
practices, including work and activities in the field of popular culture.
The Journal takes a theoretical and interdisciplinary
approach to the arts and aesthetic matters. Its authors include artists,
writers, and academics in the fields of philosophy, English literature, comparative
literature, art, music, theater and drama, art history, psychology, law, and
related disciplines. The Journal also sponsors the bi-annual John Fisher
Memorial Prize in Aesthetics in honor of John Fisher, editor of the Journal
from 1973-1988. The Prize is offered to foster the development of new voices
and talent in the field of aesthetics. The Editorial Offices of The Journal of Aesthetics and
Art Criticism are housed in the
Department of Philosophy at Temple University. The Book Review Offices of
the Journal are housed in the Department of Philosophy at
Mount Holyoke College. Articles Seeing Double Rethinking Hume's Standard of Taste Objectivity and Expression in Thomas Reid's Aesthetics Art Interpretation Make-Believe and Fictional Reference On Listening to Music "Primitive Fakes," "Tourist Art," and
