Aesthetics of Ugliness and Exclusion - Research on a Negative Aesthetic Category-

我们选择了一个消极的美学范畴，即丑，作为我们的研究项目的对象，因为我们认为，在其社会和政治背景下广泛地重新考虑“艺术”的概念是我们的重要任务之一。我们对丑陋的判断和排斥它的感觉深深植根于我们的道德或宗教信仰中，这些信仰伴随着我们长大。我们知道，意识形态和宗教信仰深深地渗透到我们的头脑中，因此，我们对美或丑的判断离不开这些意识形态和信仰。我们对丑概念的研究不应该仅仅局限于对一个简单的美学范畴的研究，而应该对我们在历史和政治语境中构建的情感文化框架有所启发。重新审视东西方的历史现象和对它的审丑，已成为我们研究的主题。并通过这些文化研究批判性地反思我们对美与丑的体验方式。我们认为，消极美的感觉比单纯美的感觉更能清楚地向我们展示审美范畴与文化或政治情感之间的历史关系，以及图像与语言或情感与语言之间不可分割的关系。从2005年到2006年，我们每年都举行几次公开会议讨论这一问题。特邀演讲人也应邀参加了我们的会议，并介绍了他们的论文。在2007年，我们的研究项目的最后一年，我们的成员写了关于这个问题的文章，创造了这个调查，他们从不同的角度讨论了负面美的现象，在这个报告中，这将邀请你到令人眼花缭乱的丑陋世界。

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.
