Meeting Description:
The Tübingen-based Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1391 ‘Different
Aesthetics’ examines aesthetic phenomena from the pre-modern period. The
premise we hereby draw on is not an emphatic conception of art in the sense of
aesthetic autonomy; rather, we assume that pre-modern artefacts are to be
placed within a dynamic field of tension between autological and heterological
dimension. By autological dimension, we mean the inner logic of artistic
processes and techniques inherent in the artefacts, their often implicit
knowledge of forms or artistic traditions. Conversely, the heterological
dimension focusses on the artefacts’ functional embeddedness within the
pragmatic and historical logic of everyday life and the logic of discourses or
within social practices. By analysing the dynamic processes of negotiation
between the two dimensions, we aim to find coordinates of a pre-modern
aesthetic self-conception. As coordinates which were especially influential
over a longer period of time, the cross-sectional topics of the Collaborative
Research Centre have identified different key aspects – usually arranged in
conceptual pairs – from which they hope to gain particular insight. The
conference is meant to continue and deepen this interdisciplinary dialogue of
the cross-sectional topic ‘Norm and Diversity’ within a deliberately broad
field of disciplines ranging from e.g. literary studies, linguistics, art,
history, sociology, musicology, theology and philosophy to the field of
Digital Humanities.
As guiding approach for the conference discussions, we have decided that norms
should be analysed not only regarding the inner logic of artistic processes
and techniques, but that their dynamic interplay with the pragmatic and
historical logic of everyday life, with the social function of acts and
artefacts should also be taken into account. Therefore, the central point of
discussion is not so much norm and deviation only in relation to artefacts, a
phenomenon which has been thoroughly researched. Rather, we aim to shed light
on the dynamic situation of aesthetic negotiations and negotiations on the
aesthetic taking place at the same time. Although formulations of norms aim at
universal applicability, firstly there is a plurality of norms which confront
each other, and secondly, the norms’ claim to validity is reflected upon by a
manifold practice and is thus repeatedly put up for discussion. In this way,
the conference would like to answer to the narrative that pre-modern artefacts
are grounded in normative conceptions, which is still highly influential in
research but does not take sufficient notice of the counterpart of diversity.
Call for Papers:
The conference Negotiating the Aesthetic is indeed aimed at an
interdisciplinary audience, including linguists. As language is in many ways
the main means of negotiating the aesthetic, linguistic questions and concepts
play a major role and can also serve to connect phenomena and observations
from different fields, by rooting them in linguistics. We thus believe that
the conference has much to offer for (some) linguists and that advertising it
in linguist list is worthwhile.
Please send your proposals for talks or alternative forms of presentations
(panel discussions, poster sessions, etc.) to sarah.dessi at uni-tuebingen.de and
sandra.linden at uni-tuebingen.de (please send everything to both addresses) by
31 March 2021, along with an informative abstract (max. 300 words, in German
or English) and a short CV in a PDF file.
The contributions will be published in a conference volume. If permitted by
the coronavirus pandemic, the conference will be held as a face-to-face event
with appropriate hygienic precautions, or else it will be a hybrid event. As
conference team, we will try our best to respond to the wishes and needs of
the conference’s participants.
