 Architecture
: Ecstasies of Space, Time, and the Human Body by David
Farrell Krell.
In this book, David Farrell Krell challenges
contemporary and traditional theories of architecture with
architecture spelling it new by design. The thesis of the book is
that the heart of the word architecture, the Greek root tec-,
can be traced back to an earlier and more pervasive root, tic-.
The verb tiktein means "to love," "to
engender," "to reproduce." In the course of
Western history, however, that older root disappeared under the
debris of discarded techniques, technologies, architectonics,
and architectures, all of them insisting on technical mastery,
technological power, and architectonic solidarity. Yet what
would happen to the confidence we place in technique if we
realized that its dominion is based on a kind of oblivion - an
oblivion of the materials, places, situations, and human bodies
that not even the mightiest technician can thoroughly dominate,
but that he or she must love?

Established in 1942 by the American Society for Aesthetics,
The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism publishes current research articles, symposia, special issues, and timely reviews of books in aesthetics and the arts. The "arts" are taken to include not only the traditional forms such as music, literature, landscape architecture, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and other visual arts, but also more recent additions including photography, film, earthworks, performance and conceptual art, the crafts and decorative arts, contemporary technical innovations, and other cultural practices, including work and activities in the field of popular culture.
The Journal takes a theoretical and interdisciplinary approach to the arts and aesthetic matters. Its authors include artists, writers, and academics in the fields of philosophy, English literature, comparative literature, art, music, theater and drama, art history, psychology, law, and related disciplines. The Journal also sponsors the bi-annual John Fisher Memorial Prize in Aesthetics in honor of John Fisher, Editor of the Journal from 1973-1988. The Prize is offered to foster the development of new voices and talent in the field of aesthetics.
The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism welcomes
proposals for its program of special issues and symposia. Symposia
typically consist of three or four comparatively short invited papers. The
total length of a symposium should not be much longer than 1 1/2 times the
length of an average journal article.
Special issues typically involve a combination of
invited papers and essays selected from an open call for papers. Symposia
and special issues are planned in cooperation with the editor of the JAAC.
If you have a promising idea for a special issue or a symposium please
contact the editor, Philip Alperson, Department of Philosophy, Temple
University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19122. E-mail: alperson@unix.temple.edu

This site is now maturing, and there are many beautiful things to
see. This includes a lovely van Gogh
collection, a collection of some
of Langston Hughes' poetry and numerous pictures that have been
created by my friend and me. I also now have a small collection of
Gaugin paintings, and these are marvelous. Please do enjoy them.
The van Gogh pictures have been digitally
re-mastered to bring out
the best of van Gogh on your computer screen, and there are over
forty of his works in this collection. These are not tiny little pictures --
as you may find in even museum sites. These are big and colorful images of van Gogh's best works. They will fill your screen with
spray after spray of intense colors -- with the master's touch.
The site has some philosophical and metaphysical
aphorisms, too. And, a little "poetry corner"
with poetry by Langston Hughes -- and there are pictures of him throughout his life. This you will enjoy.
