 Aesthetics,
Method, and Epistemology: Essential Works of Foucault, 1954-1984,
Volume II by Michel
Foucault, Robert Hurley (Translator), James D. Faubion
(Editor), Paul Rabinow
Now in paperback, the second volume in the
definitive collection of Foucault's shorter writings, a Voice
Literary Supplement bestseller. Few philosophers have had as
strong an influence on the twentieth century as Michel Foucault.
Aesthetics, Method, and Epistemology, the second volume of
Essential Works of Foucault, 1954-1984, surveys Foucault's diverse
but sustained address of the historical forms and interplay of
passion, experience, and truth. Now in paperback, this volume
includes commentaries on the work of de Sade, Rousseau, Marx,
Nietzsche, Freud, Roussel, and Boulez. It also includes some of
Foucault's most trenchant reflections on the historical
constitution of aesthetic and critical imagination, providing
unique insight into Foucault's original and hugely influential
philosophical program.

The British Journal of Aesthetics
is published to promote study, research, and discussion of the
fine arts and related types of experience from a philosophical,
psychological, sociological, scientific, historical, critical, and
educational standpoint. Founded in 1960, The British Journal of
Aesthetics is highly regarded as an international forum for
debate in aesthetics and the philosophy of art. Appearing
quarterly-in January, April, July, and October-it publishes lively
and thoughtful articles on a broad range of topics from the nature
of aesthetic judgment and the principles of art criticism to
foundational issues concerning the visual arts, literature, music,
dance, film, and architecture. A substantial reviews section
offers searching analyses of major new work in the field.

Essay by Douglas Crimp
Excerpt:
A critical distance that attempts only to
account for the deferred action of avant-garde practices in the
present offers little, however, in the way of the critique of

Queer Arts Resource is a not-for-profit
educational forum for the display and discussion of queer art and
culture. Until the recent advent of Queer Studies, the History of
Art has omitted most material of direct relevance to lesbians and
gays. Much has been suppressed, much has been lost due to neglect
or censorship, and a great deal has simply been overlooked. QAR is
expanding the range and depth of knowledge about contemporary and
historical queer art, and making this information freely available
on their website.
