invitation to a philosophy talk

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk by John Hyman (University of Oxford ) on Art and Reality Tuesday, 4 March, 4.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT When we survey the main theoretical writings about art from the twentieth century, both by art historians and by philosophers, one of the dominant themes is a kind of scepticism about representation in art, or at least about the idea that representation in art can reveal the world to us, as it is in reality, independently of the conventions and local perspectives that limit and control art, as they limit and control the whole of human life. I shall examine how changing ideas about the relationship between art and reality have affected the historical understanding of a particular episode in the history of art, the transformation of Greek art from the mid-sixth to the mid-fourth century BC.

TITLE: Emotional Responses to Music: The Need to Consider Underlying Mechanisms AUTHORS: Patrik N. Juslin and Daniel Vastfjall ABSTRACT: Research indicates that people value music primarily because of the emotions it evokes. Yet, the notion of musical emotions remains controversial, and researchers have so far been unable to offer a satisfactory account of such emotions. We argue that the study of musical emotions has suffered from a neglect of underlying mechanisms. Specifically, researchers have studied musical emotions without regard to how they were evoked, or have assumed that the emotions must be based on the 'default' mechanism for emotion induction, a cognitive appraisal. Here, we present a novel theoretical framework featuring six additional mechanisms through which music listening may induce emotions: (a) Brain stem reflexes, (b) Evaluative conditioning, (c) Emotional contagion, (d) Visual imagery, (e) Episodic memory, and (f) Musical expectancy. We propose that these mechanisms differ concerning such characteristics as their information focus, ontogenetic development, key brain regions, cultural impact, induction speed, degree of volitional influence, modularity, and dependence on musical structure. By synthesizing theory and findings from different domains, we are able to provide the first set of hypotheses that can help researchers to distinguish among the mechanisms. We show that failure to control for the underlying mechanism may lead to inconsistent or non-interpretable findings. Thus, we argue that the new framework may guide future research and help to resolve previous disagreements in the field. We conclude that music evokes emotions through mechanisms that are not unique to music, and that the study of musical emotions could benefit the emotion field as a whole by providing novel paradigms for emotion induction.
