This is particularly true with regards to both the sound object in itself (its forms and structures) and the ways in which such object is produced, composed, performed and listened to. Among said changes, the emergence is worth noticing of aspects of music and sound that in the past have barely attracted the attention of musicians, critics, analists, musicologists and listeners: it is the case of parameters like timbre and texture, and their electronic treatment via modern means of sound production and reproduction -- a set of elements usually referred to by the term "sound". At any rate, it must be stressed that not only does the emergence of the category of sound deeply affect the acoustic qualities of sound and the forms and structures of the musical object, but also acoustic perception, musical composition and performance, and everyday musical practices and behaviours are involved. Can we be more explicit about this change as regards to its technical, musical, socio-cultural, anthropological, artistic, semiological and historical aspects? Can we try and understand the whys and hows? Are there any relation between the mutations in the sound objects and those in the musical practices of composition and/or reception? And why has the category of "sound" emerged with that force just recently? NetMagazine is setting up a special dossier on "sound". We welcome papers of any kind, under any disciplinary perspectives (musicology, acoustics, psychology, semiotics, sociology, anthropology, aesthetics, philosophy, etc.), dealing with any aspects (acoustic perception, musical analysis, anthropological mutation, change in musical experience, musical communication, musical applications, multimedia, sound technology, means of sound production and reproduction, etc.), or referring to any musical activities (contemporary art music, computer music, popular music, rock, jazz, world music, new age, ambient, techno, etc.). Contributions must be either in email format (subject: ) or floppy disk. The length of the written text should not exceed 15 000-20 000 characters. Iconographic, sound and video files can be attached to text files. These documents must be accompanied by full information notes (authors, titles, explanations, dimensions of files, systems and programs used). The editorial board encourages papers that make use of the multimedia potential of the telematic nets, processing words, images, sounds and animations.

I've recently joined this list because I've begun working up a new course, on German aesthetics. ( My aesthetics colleague Marvin Levich retired last year, and German phil. is my beat.) Aesthetics is clearly a very important part of philosophy in the modern German tradition, meaning from Kant and idealism onward. And of course much of the richest stuff written in aesthetics (sometimes I think:all - but it depends on what you think is "rich") has been authored by Germans. Specifically, I'm interested in the philosophico-historical question of "modernity" in relation to aesthetics. Art (in particular), and reflection on it, has clearly played a major part in the self-consciousness of modern Europeans (and Americans, No. and So.), which certainly includes specifically their/our conceptions of modernity. I take it that there is also visible in modern(ist) Euro. high culture, ie, at least among avant-gardes and intelligentsia, a strong current through the last two centuries toward "aestheticization", toward replacing other sorts of values - notably religious, moral, and political - with aesthetic ones. So the course I'm interested in constructing is not to be a traditional "aesthetics" or "phil. of art" course, because I want to connect writing on art with these wider issues. But the syllabus has to be intelligible, and finite. So, learned colleagues, what would you suggest?

Its Library and Photographic Collection are designed and arranged to encourage research into the processes by which one culture learns from another and by which different fields of thought and art act on each other. They are particularly concerned with continuities between the ancient Mediterranean civilizations and the cultural and intellectual history of post-classical Europe, especially in the period to c. 1800. Research Fellowships The following Fellowships in intellectual and cultural history will be tenable at the Warburg Institute in the 1996-97 session. Brian Hewson Crawford Fellowship: A Research Fellowship has been endowed from the estate of, and in memory of, Dr Brian Hewson Crawford, who graduated from the University of London in 1926. A short-term Fellowship is available for the study of any aspect of the classical tradition. Under the terms of the deed, the Fellowship is open to European scholars other than of British nationality. Henri Frankfort Fellowship: Mrs Enriqueta Frankfort has endowed a Research Fellowship in memory of her husband Henri Frankfort, who was Director of the Institute from 1949 to 1954. The Fellowship, which is short-term, may be held in any of the areas in which Professor Frankfort made his distinguished contributions to scholarship: the intellectual and cultural history of the ancient Near and Middle East, with particular reference to society, art architecture, religion, philosophy and science; the relations between the cultures of Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Aegean, and their influence on later civilizations. The Fellowship is not intended to support archaeological excavation. Frances A. Yates Fellowships: Dame Frances Yates, who died on 29 September 1981, generously bequeathed her residuary estate to found a research Fellowship or Fellowships in her name at the Institute. Fellows' interests may lie in any aspect of cultural and intellectual history but, other things being equal, preference will be given to those whose work is concerned with those areas of the medieval and Renaissance encyclopedia of knowledge to which Dame Frances herself made such distinguished contributions. A long-term Fellowship (up to three years) is offered in some years but is not available for 1996-97. Approximately 8 short-term Fellowships are available. NORD/LB Warburg-Wolfenbuttel Fellowship: The Norddeutsche Landesbank has funded a four-month Research Fellowship tenable for two months at the Institute and two months at the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbuttel for research into the cultural and intellectual history of early modern Europe. [Conditions, value of award and method of application for this Fellowship follow in a separate message.] Eligibility: The Fellowships are intended for younger scholars who should have completed at least two years' research towards the doctorate. Those employed as Professor, Lecturer, or equivalent in a university or learned institution may normally hold an award only if they are taking unpaid leave for the whole of the period. The Fellowship may not be held concurrently with another Fellowship or award. Applicants must normally have been under 35 years of age on 1 October 1995. Any other conditions for eligibility applicable to individual Fellowships are stated above. Duration and Value of Fellowships: The Fellowships will be of one to three months' duration. The value of awards will be: applicants domiciled in the United Kingdom, 1,550 pounds for three months (shorter periods not available; National Insurance contributions required); applicants domiciled abroad, 800 pounds for one month, 1,300 pounds for two months, 1,800 pounds for three months. The amount of these stipends is absolute; no additional travel costs or expenses will be paid. Tenure: Fellows must hold at least three-quarters of their award during term-time. Term dates for 1996-97 will be 30 September - 6 December 1996; 6 January - 14 March 1997; 21 April - 27 June 1997. Selection: No interviews are held for short-term Fellowships. Awards will be notified in March 1996. All candidates will be informed of the outcome of their application. General: All Fellows will be expected to participate in the life of the Institute and to put their knowledge at the disposal of the Institute by presenting their work in a seminar and by advising the Library and Photographic Collection. Fellows may teach elsewhere during tenure of the Fellowship only with the express permission of the Director. They will be required to present a brief written report at the conclusion of their appointments. A Fellowship may be terminated if the Appointing Committee is not satisfied that the conditions of the award are being met. All publications containing results of work done with the aid of a Fellowship shall include adequate acknowledgement of the fact. Applications: Applications should be made by letter to the Director giving the following information: 1. A curriculum vitae giving full details of name, date of birth, address and present occupation, school and university education, degrees, teaching and research experience, publications 2. An outline of proposed research 3. Particulars of grants received, if any, for the same subject 4. The names and addresses of two or three persons who have agreed to write, without further invitation, to the Director in support of the appliction. These letters of reference should reach the Director by 4 January 1996. It is the responsibility of candidates to ask their referees to write to the Director by this date. 5. Candidates from abroad applying for awards should specify how long they wish to spend at the Institute (i.e. one, two or three months). 6. Copies of published work should be submitted, if possible. Candidates should indicate whether they wish these publications to be returned, or whether they may be given to the Institute's library. Closing date: applictions must arrive at the Institute no later than 5 December 1995. Applications MUST be made by post. (No e-mail applications will be accepted.)

The following list provides some examples: urban ecologies; the limits of nature as discourse; the possibility of scientific objectivity; ecologies of social reproduction; the domination of nature or the production of nature; rewriting nature writing; the socio-biological restructuring of race; political ecologies of development; the profitability of corporate environmentalism and alternative to it; indigenous peoples ecologies; ecofeminism or feminist environmentalism; the politics of geo-art; NGOs-mapping the environmental movement in global context; environmental racism and environmental justice; green cultural criticism?; the military environmental complex; what does sustainable development sustain?; anti-environmental backlash. CCACC awards two Rockefeller Fellowships and two Rutgers University Fellowships for $32,000 each. Applications must be post-marked by 12 January 1996.

The border zone where these two worlds meet seems a particularly fruitful place for the exchange of aesthetics, methodologies, or just travelers tales. Paper sessions will provide time and space for extended consideration of cultural materials (an entire pop song plus its video might be played; clips from several commercials or films screened) as well as 20-minute formal presentations from each presenter. Equal time will be devoted to discussion of issues raised. Papers are especially welcome in the following topic areas: POPULAR MUSIC AS MUSIC (structural-phenomenological analyses of pop music) CLASSICAL MUSIC AS SUBCULTURE (sociological and cultural studies of classical music culture in contemporary culture.) CROSSOVERS (musical repertories that straddle the classical- popular borderline) FILM AND COMMERCIAL MUSIC MUSICAL THEATER "NEW AGE" MUSIC Other events at the symposia will include: concerts of all types, lecture demonstrations, state-of-the-art technological demonstrations, and panel discussions by distinguished Eastman alumni working in all aspects of the musical world. Please send three (3) copies of a one-page abstract to: Cross(over) Relations, c/o Eastman School of Music, 26 Gibbs Street, Rochester, NY 14604. Deadline for abstracts is February 1, 1996.

Julie Van Camp, Chair, Committee on Aesthetics and Higher Education Associate Professor of Philosophy, CSu Long Beach jvancamp@csulb.edu Washington Post, 10/18/95, pp. B1 & B6. Arts, Humanities Agencies Cut Staffs Sharply by Jacqueline Trescott Washington Post Staff Writer The National Endowment for the Arts, forced to adjust to the radical reduction in its federal appropriation for fiscal year 1996, notified 89 people yesterday that their jobs had been eliminated. Almost half of the agency's staff has been cut this year. In recent days, the National Endowment for the Humanities also informed dozens of employees that their jobs would be eliminated in a similar agency-wide restructuring. The NEH, also hammered by congressional action, removed 90 positions from its staff. "This is the saddest day I have spent at the arts endowment," said NEA Chairman Jane Alexander, the actress who took over the small, beleaguered agency two years ago. In a statement, she saluted the staff: "Their dedication, skills and enthusiasm, through good times and bad, cannot be replaced." The reductions in force at the two offices followed months of emotional congressional debate in which the endowments were threatened with total dismantling by the Republican leadership. The resulting bill, which contains 40 percent cuts in the NEA and NEH appropriateions, has not been finally approved by Congress, and is still threatened by a presidential veto. So far, the Senate-House conference committee has voted to give the NEA $99.5 million and the NEH $110 million--far below the White House requests for this year. The Republicans with jurisdiction over the endowments' funds argued that all agencies had to share in the cuts to reduce the national deficit. The NEA, however, has long been a target of conservatives who deplore the projects the federal agency has backed, and that fact was never far from some lawmakers' arguments. "These have been trying times," said NEH Chairman Sheldon Hackney in a letter to his staff this week. "It was painful to eliminate, suspend, or significantly reduce programs that have served the humanities community well. It is even more painful to see so many of our staff leave the endowment, simply because we no longer have the funds to keep them." Well aware that Republican leaders had vowed to at least reshape the agencies, the endowments have been moving toward leaner structures all year. The NEH, for example, had left many posts unfilled; 27 of the 90 positions just cut from last year's roster of 262 were already vacant. The arts endowment started the year with 279 full- and part-time positions, whittled down to its current 237 and will operate as of Dec. 19 with 148 positions, all full-time. The cut represents a 47 percent reduction in personnel, a higher figure than Alexander had predicted. The NEA also reduced the pay grade of 19 positions. Almost everyone remaining at the agency, said a spokeswoman, will be reassigned. The loss of personnel, reported the endowments, means a major restructuring of both agencies. The NEH will now direct its programs through three divisions, a change from six a year ago and the four current ones. And instead of operating 31 programs within those divisions, the NEH now will have seven. The endowment's new focus, said Hackney, will be on "activities that are best done at the national level, that have long-term impact, that have few other sources of support, that strengthen the institutional base of the humanities and that reach broad sectors of the American public." Among the programs scuttled by NEH are one for young scholars, which received $347,000 in 1994, and dissertation grants, a $350,000-a-year enterprise. An NEH spokesman said the agency found that few high school and college recipients of the grants went on to humanities careers and that the academic community was split over supporting PhD candidates who seemed unable to finish their dissertations. __________________________________________________________ Aesthetics Mailing List: aesthetics@indiana.edu To Unsubscribe: majordomo@indiana.edu List-Owner: Dominic Lopes at dlopes@indiana.edu Aesthetics On-Line Web Site: http://www.indiana.edu/~asanl ########################################################### Date: Wed, 25 Oct 1995 18:22:24 -0400 (EDT) From: Michael John Kelly To: aesthetics@indiana.edu Subject: Aesthetics: aesthetics of encyclopedia To all contributors to the Encyclopedia of Aesthetics who have sent me their essays and who will be in St. Louis for the ASA meeting: thank you, and I hope we can discuss your essays there.

With the reconfiguration, NEH will give greater support to the activities that best meet its guiding tenets: Activities --that are best done at the national level; --that have long-term impact; --that have few other sources of support; --that strengthen the institutional base of the humanities; and --that reach broad sectors of the American public. The Endowment will focus on the following areas: * Supporting original scholarship * Preserving the American cultural heritage * Providing learning opportunities for the nation's teachers * Engaging the American public in the humanities. Structurally, the NEH will consist of three divisions containing a total of seven programs, and a separate office to administer challenge grants. Following are brief descriptions of the programs (by division) with contact information. Application deadline dates through September 1996 are contained in the Summary of NEH Programs. Division of Preservation and Access One program with one set of guidelines and one funding cycle, encompassing the following: * Preservation and access projects (which will include support for education and training, regional field service programs, and research and demonstration projects), the stabilization and documentation of material culture collections, and the U.S. newspaper program.

Both of these books, particularly the Reimer, deal with Aesthetics, not just music. Reimer's also is interesting because it is Germanic in style if not substance, with curious likenesses to Nietche. The Walker book is excellent because it is postmodern in substance. Enjoy!

As some members of the first generation of contemporary feminist philosophers approach retirement, academic feminism is confronting a new opportunity and challenge. Some have characterized this as a generation gap between second and third wave feminists in the academy. Calling this a generation gap is itself fraught with tensions: The expression "third wave feminism" raises questions of appropriation, and "new generation feminism" misleadingly suggests the differences are age-related. But "generation gap" need not refer to age differences between younger and older feminists. Instead we are concerned with a cohort experience of new feminist philosophers , those educated by second wave feminist philosophers who are now "established" and who typically began their careers when women's studies and feminist philosophy were not yet legitimate, sanctioned, or tolerated fields. Feminist philosophy became a somewhat viable academic and scholarly endeavor in the 1970s, but not without great struggle for those creating the new paradigms and ideas. In the 1980s, these paradigms and ideas were refracted and refined by critical exchanges on race, class, sexuality, and other identity politics and practices that contested feminist philosophy on every level. Most recently, feminist philosophy has been challenged by the emergence of queer theory, critical race theory, and various critiques that travel under the name of postmodernism. It is time to look at the work of feminist scholars and philosophers speaking across and through the various currents that shape the future of academic feminist philosophy. This contemporary project faces two challenges. On the one hand, feminists face the canonization of earlier feminist scholarship, the problem of instutituionlizing feminist philosophy and theory in light of deisciplinary, political and economic relations, and a highly competitive and not necessarily feminist job market. On the other hand, the various "neos," "posts," and "anti's" of our time--neo-liberalism, communitarianism, postmodernism, poststructuralism, postfeminism, postcolonialism, post-identity politics, and anti-foundationalism--provoke a continujed questioning or crisis of basic feminist assumptions. In addition, the competing claims of the "real" world, every day politics, and high theory, and the institutional drive to create "new frontiers" and "new markets" in scholarship and research constitute the context in which feminists must rearticulate and renegotiate a commitment to feminist ideas. This special issue seeks to give voice and space to the work of third wave feminist philosophers and scholars, to honor the generation of feminist who fought for the very notion of feminist philosophy and women's studies, and to facilitate intergenerational dialogue and connection. General questions to be explored: 1) What characterizes "third wave" feminism? How should third wave feminist respond to the epistemological and political challenges that mark their entrance in the academy or profession? How and why do third wave feminists want to modify previous methodologies or adopt perhaps totally different methodologies? 2) What historical shifts, various waves or tendencies, new topologies or new paradigms, or novel genealogies help us grasp a feminist intellectual life in our time? How do these notions advance or impede feminist philosophical thinking? 3) what is the impact of various antifoundationalisms (the posts and neos) on the work of feminist scholars? How, for example, might queer theory influence lesbian feminist theory and philosophy in the 1990s? 4) What effect might the changing structure of the academyh, along with debates on issues such as multiculturalism, political correctness, interdisciplinary studies, right wing economic controls, and tenure chokeholds, ahve on the production of new feminist philosophy: 5) How have the concerns of antidisciplinary and interdisciplinary discourse, such as cultural studies, queer studies, critical race theory, and women's studies informed feminist philosophy? How successfuly has this feminist philosophy rearticulated these concerns? 6) Can the categories of race/class/gender be reconfigured to address problems of difference? How does feminism propose to deal with its own classism and racism (or with its predominantly white middle class background and expectations)? How does recent feminist theory define political activism? All papers should be submitted in quadruplicate and identified as submissions for the Third-Wave issue. Send them to Hypatia, Department of Women's Studies, HMS 413, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620. DEADLINE: April 15, 1996. Anticipated publication date: Spring 1997. __________________________________________________________ Aesthetics Mailing List: aesthetics@indiana.edu To Unsubscribe: majordomo@indiana.edu List-Owner: Dominic Lopes at dlopes@indiana.edu Aesthetics On-Line Web Site: http://www.indiana.edu/~asanl
