The Scope of the Symposium

Art and Aesthetic Theories investigate and define the cultural, social and political world

views that are reflected in the works of culture and art that express meanings of human value

through their forms. Until quite recently philosophical aesthetics seemed to be mostly an

attribute of the West. In recent decades, international symposia and publications have shown

the historical and conceptual richness of art and aesthetic theories in the East and in non-

Western cultures. This symposium intends to present these diverse cultural approaches to art

and aesthetics by bringing together scholars from Asia and Europe. Accordingly, it is

observed that the theoretical foundations of contemporary art which is of Western origin are

questioned and that the Asian and Anatolian roots of its aesthetic values are discussed in

terms of creation processes. This symposium will not only deal with these issues from a

historical and contemporary perspective in which Asian, Anatolian and European art and

aesthetic theories are defined but will also try to treat the very important and actual subject of

technology in relation to art and aesthetics.


The Aim of the Symposium

The Symposium on Art and Aesthetic Theories aims to bring together active theoreticians and

thinkers from different parts of the world and in particular to present to scholars and students

of art and design the very actual and contemporary Asian and Anatolian discourse on art and

aesthetics. It also intends to view the issue of technology in relation to these from a

philosophical perspective. The Mediterranean has always been a region of intercultural

relations and interaction. Therefore, as the University of Akdeniz (Mediterranean) we feel an

incentive to create a platform of intercultural discourse on art and culture.
