Hi, this is Aili Bresnahan. My current interests are in the Philosophy of Art and Philosophy of Law, with special focus on practice and methodology. My dissertation topic (currently under construction) is likely to be an attempt to provide a philosophical framework in which to explore what artists do. The intuition at work here is that a richer understanding of how art is made and/or performed (why, with what, how and with what experience) might be able to enrich our understanding of why new works and performances of art outpace theories of art. I suspect that I will draw heavily on the American Pragmatist tradition, and on other post-Hegelian philosophical theories of continuity, change, growth, and never-ending diversification and complexity as support for this analysis. All thoughts, suggestions and advice on this are welcome. Aili Bresnahan 4117 N. Kostner Ave. Chicago, IL 60641 ailibr@yahoo.com | |
