Shared Aesthetic Experience, Community, and Meaningfulness
Aesthetic communities offer us opportunities for collective, communal, and value-disclosing shared aesthetic experiences. This paper develops an account of shared aesthetic experiences andprovides an answer to the question of their significance: when they occur within aesthetic communities, their distinctive phenomenology is a powerful resource for creating a sense that our lives are aesthetically meaningful
Tool, Collaborator, or Participant
Artificial intelligence is now capable of generating sophisticated and compelling images from simple text prompts. In this paper, I focus specifically on how artists might make use of AI to create art. Most existing discourse analogizes AI to a tool or collaborator; this focuses our attention on AI's contribution to the production of an artistically significant output. I propose an alternative approach, the exploration paradigm, which suggests th…
Aesthetic Commitments and Aesthetic Obligations
Resolving to finish reading a novel, staying true to your punk style, or dedicating your life to an artistic project: these are examples of aesthetic commitments. I develop an account of the nature of such commitments, and I argue that they are significant insofar as they help us manage the temporally extended nature of our aesthetic agency and our relationships with aesthetic objects. At the same time, focusing on aesthetic commitments can give …
Art Criticism as Practical Reasoning
Most recent discussions of reasons in art criticism focus on reasons that justify beliefs about the value of artworks. Reviving a long-neglected suggestion from Paul Ziff, I argue that we should focus instead on art-critical reasons that justify actions—namely, particular ways of engaging with artworks. I argue that a focus on practical rather than theoretical reasons yields an understanding of criticism that better fits with our intuitions about…
English—A Serious Challenge to French in the Reign of Alexander I
After a brief survey of the relative position of foreign languages in the first six decades of the eighteenth century attention is turned to the fortunes of English during the reign of Catherine II, when Anglophilia was evident in the upper echelons of Russian society, inspired by the empress herself, and manifesting itself in an enthusiasm for things British but not necessarily for the English language. Opportunities to acquire a knowledge of th…
A People Passing Rude
Edited by Anthony Cross, a leading authority on Anglo-Russian relations, this collection demonstrates the scope and variety of Russia’s influence on British culture. Moving from the early 1800s – when Byron sent his hero Don Juan to meet Catherine the Great, and an English critic grappled with the challenge of Pushkin – to a series of Russian-themed exhibitions at venues including Crystal Palace and Earls Court, the collection explores British en…

Problems of Form and Literary Influence in the Poetry of Karamzin
Although his poetry enjoyed considerable contemporary popularity, Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin belonged to the generation of poets characterized by Ivan Rozanov as "interesting precisely for its attempts and strivings: we find almost no attainments here." Despite the curious fact that Karamzin's verse has been reprinted in the present century more frequently than his prose, its interest for the modern reader is of an essentially historical natur…
George Borrow and Russia
The Reverend William Tooke's Contribution to English Knowledge of Russia at the End of the Eighteenth Century
Indeed if he have executed his task with fidelity and elegance, he may in some degree appropriate it; he becomes part-owner of it; he is unquestionably author of the translated book; and that book is as much an original in England, for instance, as that from which it is taken is in Germany. Add to this, the labour and pains, the toilsome drudgery it costs, to become thoroughly master of a foreign tongue, its various idioms and phraseology; not to…
