Symposium Nederlands Genootschap voor Esthetica =
Dutch Association of Aesthetics, 2023
Location: Bradwolff Projects, Oetewalerstraat 73, 1093 MD Amsterdam
Theme: Recent years have seen a stronger push towards addressing the structures and systems of oppression and exclusion that persist in present day society. This could be a sign of a growing acknowledgement in general, but it seems especially the arts in which this awareness is expressed and taken on.
What does this development mean for aesthetics, for the philosophy of art? What should be done to include the ‘voices of the voiceless’ in the canon of aesthetics and philosophy of art? Or should aesthetics first start to re-establish itself in order to contribute to an inclusive philosophy of art? How do philosophers of art take on, re-work, and transform notions from inside and outside the canon of Western aesthetics? Which notions do they make redundant, which notions do they activate?
Keynote speakers:
Monique Roelofs, professor of Philosophy of Art and Culture at the University of Amsterdam.
Maria Hlavajova, founding general and artistic director of BAK, basis voor aktuele kunst, Utrecht.
Rob van Gerwen, senior lecturer Philosophy at the University Utrecht & director of Consilium Philosophicum.
In addition to the keynote speakers, contributions are given by a panel presentation consisting of Catherine Botha, Rainy Demerson, Jackï Job, Sara Matchett, Matthias Pauwels, and by individual presentations by Julia Eckhardt, Marlies de Munck, Francesca Natale, Jörg Schaub, Judith Vega.
