| Outline of Research at the Start |
This is an interdisciplinary project, involving philosophy, art, architecture, music, literary theory, urban studies, and cultural studies, that will investigate the positive role played by the concept of imperfection in aesthetic experience. It will seek to establish the defining features of imperfectionism as an aesthetic outlook and as a method, and to examine how can it be applied to give aesthetic, cultural, ethical, and environmental benefits.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The project concluded in 2023 with the publication of the results in the book Imperfectionist Aesthetics in Art and Everyday Life (Routledge, 2023) edited by Peter Cheyne. This is currently being translated into Japanese to be published by Tokyo University Press.
|
| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
The project drew together interdisciplinary research on the aesthetics of perfection and imperfection and connected the topic with a broad range of fields: including philosophy, music, literature, urban environment, architecture, art theory, and cultural studies.
