Rethinking visual art practice in relation to well-being : a conceptual analysis
2015
This study examines how the concepts related to visual art practice and well-being have been used in the arts and academic sectors. Furthermore, it studies whether it is possible to create a new theoretical and conceptual framework for research. The research material of the arts and academic sectors was examined by the methods of critical review and conceptual analysis. The conceptual analysis led to the following main results: The employment of the concepts concerning the practice of visual arts was diverse, often overlapping, and in some respects incoherent. Both the concepts of ‘art’ and ‘well-being’ were mostly used as reasoning with generalizations. This strategy of discourse was conce…
Arkkitehtuurin poliittinen tiedostamaton
2021
Martin Heidegger’s ”Building Dwelling Thinking” argues that socially engaged architecture fails to understand that the crisis of housing is related to more profound crisis of being. To fully grasp this, architecture needs to be detached from direct social and political questions. Instead architecture needs to examine and elaborate, how dwelling and being are related. Situated however to the actual reconstruction period after the wwii, the statement has its own ideological purpose. By looking this from the point of view of the political unconscious of architecture, the article proposes that Heidegger’s philosophical reflections are deliberately targeted against the political project of moder…
Metamodernismin ilmentymät nykymusiikin säveltäjän sävellysideologiassa
2016
Tässä tutkielmassa selvitettiin metamodernismin ilmenemismuotoja nykymusiikissa ja sen myötä pohdittiin kriittisesti metamodernismin käsitettä ja sen soveltuvuutta musiikinfilosofisen tutkimuksen uudeksi ideologiseksi käsitteeksi. Metamodernismilla tarkoitetaan parhaillaan muotoutumassa olevaa esitietoisten tuntemusten ja kokemusten kokoelmaa, jossa yhdistyy modernismille ja postmodernismille ominaisia ilmiöitä, kuten intomielisyys ja ironia, joiden vastakkaisten napojen välillä tämä uusi tuntemusrakenne värähtelee asettumatta tasapainoon (Vermeulen ja van den Akker 2010). Metamodernismin hallitsevat piirteet käsitteellistettiin kahden rinnakkaisen käsitteen, postmodernismin ja modernismin …
From Visceral to the Aesthetic
2022
We recoil at the thought of eating rotten meat or moldy strawberries and feel uncomfortable with the bad breath of a person we do not specifically like. We may feel disgusted when Divine, one of the protagonists of John Waters’ film Pink Flamingos (1972) eats dog feces – or when Akwaeke Emezi, in her debut novel Freshwater (2018), describes how the protagonist, in veterinary school, mutilates cadavers, separates skin from muscle, and lifts “delicate sheets of fascia” with the scalpel (Emezi 2018, 41). Disgust is, alongside surprise, sadness, happiness, fear, anger, and contempt mentioned in the list of so-called universal emotions (Ekman 1970). It is often visualized as a wrinkled nose. Acc…
