The scientific conference TRADITIONAL AESTHETIC CULTURE 14: SENSITIVITY AND CULTURE, organized by the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts – Branch of SASA in Niš and the University of Niš, Faculty of Arts in Niš, will be held on Friday, 5th November 2021, at 11 am, in the University of Niš multimedia hall no. 8. Due to unfavorable epidemiological circumstances, this year’s gathering will be partly held in a virtual format, and all those interested will be able to follow the presenters live on the Faculty of Arts in Niš Facebook page.
Numerous questions from the thematic framework of traditional aesthetic culture were opened at the previous thirteen symposia: Aesthetic dimension of the house (2005), Everyday life and holiday (2006), Body and clothing (2007), Bread (2008), Game (2009), Eros (2010), Garden (2011), Craft (2013), Space (2014), Media (2015), Beautiful and Ugly (2016), Speech (2017) and Picture and Letter (2018). For the fourteenth symposium, the thematization of sensuality itself was proposed, and since the sensuality of the human being is mediated by various forms of culture, this symposium is concentrated precisely on the issue of sensuality and culture. The organizers emphasize that the offered topic can be considered as central to the project itself, as well as synthetic, and even the final theme of the entire series TRADITIONAL AESTHETIC CULTURE.
The scientific meeting will be officially opened by prof. PhD Jovan Stepanović, Vice-Rector for Science and Publishing of the University of Niš, with welcoming words by the SASA Corresponding Member Vladimir Rakočević, a representative of the SASA Branch in Niš and prof. PhD Milena Injac, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Arts in Niš.
The introductory lectures will be presented by Ivana Medić, PhD, a senior research associate at the SASA Musicological Institute, with the topic Musical presentation of sensuality, and Miško Šuvaković, PhD full professor at Singidunum University, Faculty of Media and Communications, who will present the work of the Gray Zone: visible and invisible.
After the introductory announcements, the participants of the symposium of different scientific and artistic provenances will present their papers that look at the problems of sensuality and culture in various fields – from philosophy, religion and literature to visual arts, music, media and mathematics.
