| Research Abstract |
We have taken a negative aesthetic category, that of ugliness, as the object of our research project because we believe that it is one of our important assignments to widely reconsider the notion of 'art' in its social and political context. Our judgment of ugliness and our feeling to exclude it has is deeply rooted in our ethical or religious beliefs, with which they have grown up. As we know, ideologies and religious beliefs deeply penetrate into our minds and therefore, our judgments of beauty or ugliness cannot be separated from these ideologies and beliefs. Our research on the notion of ugliness shouldn't be limited to just the study of a simple aesthetic category, but it should Illuminate the cultural frameworks of our feelings, that have been constructed in the historical and political contexts. It has become our main theme to reconsider the historical phenomena and judgments of it ugliness in east and west,. and to critically reflect our ways of experiences of beauty and ugliness through these cultural studies. We thought that the feeling of negative beauty, more than that of simple beauty, would clearly show us the historical relationships between the aesthetic categories and cultural or political feelings, and the inseparable relationship between images and languages, or feelings and. ideologies.
From 2005 to 2006, we discussed this subject several times a year by way of open-door meetings. Guest speakers were also invited to our meetings and presented their papers. In 2007, the last year of our research project, our members wrote their articles on this matter to create this survey They discussed the phenomena of negative beauty from various viewpoints in this report, which will invite you the dazzling world of ugliness.
