Aesthetic Matters

Published 15 December 1999
On the occasion of a research project conducted at several art and design schools in Switzerland, this anthology of international scholars sheds new light on the ongoing debate around aesthetic education and aesthetic practices by exploring emerging epistemologies. Bridging perspectives from science and technology studies, aesthetic theory, praxeological approaches, and artistic research, the authors test innovative methodological approaches in order to investigate how the epistemic cultures in the arts, design, and architecture have reacted to the demanding contexts of academization, medialization, and economization of knowledge.
