Aesthetics of Human-AI Collaboration in Creative Activities : Art, Cultural Heritage, and Academic Research Practice /
:
The book explores the aesthetic insights into the transformative interplay between artificial intelligence and human creativity within art, cultural heritage, and academic research. It delves into how AI technologies reshape these areas, addressing both their potential to enhance creative processes and the challenges they present to traditional aesthetic frameworks of human creativity. Through a series of interdisciplinary chapters, the book examines applying AI-powered solutions in artistic endeavours, cultural heritage management, modern-day curation, and media content personalisation. It also explores how AI supports collaborative research and the modern translation profession, providing new aesthetic perspectives on beauty, truth, harmony, complexity, and trust in human-technology interactions. This book offers valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to understand and navigate the evolving relationship between humans and AI.

Looking beyond? : shifting views of transcendence in philosophy, theology, art, and politics /
:
Religion is undergoing a transformation in current Western society. In addition to organized religions, there is a notable movement towards spirituality that is not associated with any institutions but in which experiences and notions of transcendence are still important. Transcendence can be described as God, the absolute, Mystery, the Other, the other as alterity, depending on one's worldview. In this book, these shifts in the views of transcendence in various areas of culture such as philosophy, theology, art, and politics are explored on the basis of a fourfold heuristic model (proposed by Wessel Stoker). In conversation with this model, various authors, established scholars in their fields, explain the meaning and role, or the critique, of transcendence in the thought of contemporary thinkers, fields of discourse, or cultural domains. Looking Beyond? will stimulate further research on the theme of transcendence in contemporary culture, but can also serve as a textbook for courses in various disciplines, ranging from philosophy to theology, cultural studies, literature, art, and politics.

Mimetic Posthumanism : Homo Mimeticus 2.0 in Art, Philosophy and Technics /
:
It is tempting to affirm that on and about November 2022 (post)human character changed. The revolution in A.I. simulations certainly calls for an updated of the ancient realization that humans are imitative animals, or homo mimeticus . But the mimetic turn in posthuman studies is not limited to A.I.: from simulation to identification, affective contagion to viral mimesis, robotics to hypermimesis, the essays collected in this volume articulate the multiple facets of homo mimeticus 2.0. Challenging rationalist accounts of autonomous originality internal to the history of Homo sapiens , this volume argues from different-artistic, philosophical, technological-perspectives that the all too human tendency to imitate is, paradoxically, central to our ongoing process of becoming posthuman.

From Bactria to Taprobane : Selected Works of Osmund Bopearachchi. Volume II: Art History and Maritime Trade /
:
The second volume of Osmund Bopearachchi has articles and monographs on Central Asian and Indian art, South Indian and Sri Lankan art and finally maritime trade in the Indian Ocean. While documenting thousands of coins in the Pakistani markets from 1992 onwards, Bopearachchi realised that one has to go beyond the traditional approach of simply cataloguing coins, and as a result he has made an attempt to link numismatics with sculptural and pictorial iconography. His studies on Utpalavarnā, the courtesan who later became a bhiksunī (Buddhist nun) and on the earliest iconography of Hindu gods like Śiva, Brahmā, Vi]s]nu and Varāha have revolutionised our knowledge of these domains. His writings giving the results of the archaeological excavations and explorations carried out by the Department of Archaeology and the French Archaeological Mission in Sri Lanka along the estuaries and rivers provide substantial evidence to indicate that in ancient times large ships could cast anchor in the sea close to river mouths and commodities were taken to inland markets using the rivers and waterways. His work also shows how the movements caused by these human activities have amalgamated local traditions with foreign identities and created new forms of art and belief. His research on sculptures imported to the island from Amarāvatī-Nāgārjunakonda deals with the inspiration of these schools of art over the early forms of Buddhist sculpture in Sri Lanka. The different architectural aspects of the royal palace complex of Sigiriya, built by King Kassapa (477-95 CE) clearly demonstrate that various external ideas and concepts were used to convert this huge lofty rock into a more elaborate harmonious whole, in another words, a paradise or an Alakmanda.

Trying Out New Paths in Aesthetics /
:
This book focuses on one of the all-time primary interests of all researchers-finding new perspectives and research topics-and expands it. What new routes could aesthetics, philosophy of art and the aesthetic take today and in the future? Thirteen authors open new doors for the discipline to new companion disciplines, new discussions, and new concepts. Heritage studies, Greek aesthetic concepts, found literature, power, safety and mythology, monuments, artificial intelligence, sensibility, hybrid spaces, textiles, aesthetics of AI, aesthetics of literature, aesthetic values, homo ludens and martial arts studies are approached in new ways in this volume, where the spearhead lies in thinking about the next step of the ancient discipline of aesthetics and what potential it could have for the world of research in the future.

A Hundred Years of Avant-Gardes : The Literary Experiment in Poland and Beyond 1917-2017 /
:
For many Central-European countries, the inter- and post-war periods marked the beginning of their statehood and entailed the laying of the foundations for literary language itself. Experimental tendencies became a laboratory of bold and ambiguous visions of the world, inspiring many artists to join in the process of rebuilding their communities. Unlike other parts of the world, in Poland experiments thus conceived were not just about contesting bourgeois habits and forms, or testing the boundaries of social and aesthetic conventions. On the contrary, revolutionary-oriented circles supported the building of new centres of intellectual life, joined the cultural mainstream in the broadest possible sense, and, with time, became an important point of reference for the entire panorama of literary and artistic life.

Chantiers Régine Robin : Interprétations de l'auteure à l'oeuvre /
:
Régine Robin (1939-2021) fut une intellectuelle hors norme. Historienne et sociologue, philosophe et romancière, linguiste et traductrice du yiddish, elle est l'anthropologue des non-lieux. Sans cesse, elle explora d'horizons divers, arpentant des territoires novateurs. Riche de ses exils, des « pays de la mort » jusqu'au Québec et New York, Robin creusa des pistes dans ses ruines personnelles, posant les fondations d'une nouvelle écriture de la Shoah, sans jamais céder à L'Immense Fatigue des pierres . Son œuvre protéiforme, chantier à vif resté inachevé, est traversée de problématiques identitaires, à la lisière de la déconstruction et en dialogue avec les arts et pratiques mémorielles. Précurseure aussi de l'ère digitale, son "work in progress" est source d'inspiration pour ses contemporains. Régine Robin (1939-2021) was an extraordinary intellectual. A historian and sociologist, philosopher and novelist, linguist and translator of Yiddish, she was the anthropologist of non-places. Continuously, she explored diverse horizons, navigating innovative territories. Enriched by her exiles, from the "lands of death" to Quebec and New York, Robin delved into paths within her personal ruins, laying the foundations for a new writing of the Shoah, without ever yielding to L'Immense Fatigue des pierres . . Her multifaceted work, an unfinished raw project, is imbued with identity issues, on the edge of deconstruction, and in dialogue with the arts and memory practices. A forerunner of the digital age, her "work in progress" continues to inspire her contemporaries.

La Cachette de karnak : nouvelles perspectives sur les découvertes de Georges Legrain /
:
The Karnak Cachette, excavated by Georges Legrain between 1903 and 1907, is one of the most fascinating discoveries of Egyptian archaeology. The first reason lies in the very high number of objects found in it (statues, stelae, furniture of various kinds), some of them still unpublished, all of which are documents of major importance for the religious life of Karnak, but also more generally for the history and art of Pharaonic Egypt between the Middle Kingdom and the Ptolemaic period. The second reason is that the raison d'être of this cache and the historical circumstances surrounding its creation remain mysterious. Even if some comparisons can be made with other caches found in Egypt and the Sudan, its magnitude and wealth are exceptional. Building on a research program launched by the Ifao and the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities to improve our knowledge of the Karnak Cachette and its content, this book comprises twenty-four contributions by international scholars studying objects found in this deposit, analyzing the Cachette itself, or investigating other Egyptian caches from an ideological or archaeological point of view."--Back cover. |u www.ifao.egnet.net/publications/catalogue/978-2-7247-0657-4
