ANNOUNCEMENT
The Finnish Society for Aesthetics has awarded the Article of the Year 2019 prize to Dr. Mark Windsor (University of Kent) for his article “What is the Uncanny?”, published in The British Journal of Aesthetics (volume 59, issue 1, pages 51-65). According to the Society’s statement, Dr Windsor’s detailed account of the emotion of uncanniness offers an important contribution to the study of aesthetic categories, as so far uncanniness has received little attention in analytic aesthetics despite its prevalence in art and popular culture.

CALL FOR PAPERS
China has a long and rich tradition of artistic practices and aesthetic theory, but this tradition has, in contemporary times, been underutilized in international philosophical aesthetics and transcultural theory. This issue of JCLA aims to address this problem by inviting papers that explore Chinese aesthetics, the role it has played in international and transcultural aesthetics, and the most promising ways it could contribute to these fields:
- Chinese Aesthetic Theory (Traditional and Contemporary);
- The “traveling” of Chinese art and aesthetics in the history, such as Chinoiserie;
- Chinese aesthetics as inspirations for other aesthetic cultures or theoretical invention;
- Comparative studies of aesthetics or artistic genres (poetry, painting, music, drama, calligraphy, etc) between Chinese and other cultural traditions.
Article Length: 4,000-6,000 words (MLA Style 8th edition)
Deadline for submissions: 30 April, 2020.
Guest Editor: Dr. Yanping Gao, Associate Professor of Aesthetics, Institute of Literature, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing, China
