Middle East Technical University (Orta Dogu Teknik Üniversitesi, ODTÜ)
Ankara
There have been significant advances in art and aesthetics in Turkey. However, discussions, criticisms and views could not be brought to a common ground; the assets could not be made thoroughly accessible for all potential contributors. Turkish Congress of Aesthetics aims to discover these assets, to constitute a platform for communication among artists and scholars, and hence to contribute to our esthetical knowledge.
We welcome all contributions from fields such as aesthetics, philosophy, criticism of culture and art, and research concerning all arts and artistic forms.
Turkish Congress of Aesthetics will also be an occasion to prepare philosophers, researchers and artists from Turkey and abroad for the XVII. International Congress of Aesthetics, to be held in the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, 9-13 July, 2007.
Organized by SANART, METU Department of Philosophy, METU Faculty of Architecture, and METU Department of Music and Fine Arts with the support of the METU President’s Office.
