Scholarship Description: In 2014-15, the Pembroke Center is awarding one-year residential postdoctoral fellowships to scholars from any field whose research relates to the theme of “Aesthetics and the Question of Beauty”.  Fellows are required to participate in the weekly research seminar and teach one undergraduate course.    In 2014-15 the Pembroke Seminar will explore the topic of the beautiful from as many disciplinary and discursive perspectives as possible.  Traditional philosophical questions (such as, e.g., the degree to which the event or experience of beauty is culturally determined) will be taken seriously but submitted to counter-questioning from multiple angles. Can philosophical aesthetics and Darwinian evolutionary theory speak productively to each other? Do judgments or experiences of the beautiful inevitably refer back to being-human in a human body, or do they exceed anthropomorphic limits?  To what extent does the question of the beautiful overlap with that of art, even after a century of anti-aesthetic avant-garde movements? How best to interpret the predilection of traditional aesthetic discourse for gender-marked binary oppositions and for metaphysical affirmations of the human?
