Aesthetics and/as Globalization: An Introduction 美學和/作為全球化︰介紹 ALE? ERJAVEC, Institute of Philosophy, SRC SASA, Ljubljana I Until approximately the middle of the previous century aesthetics – and by “aesthetics” I have in mind essentially western aesthetics – used to be primarily a discipline of philosophy which only in rare instances attempted to transcend its traditional academic confines.　As philosophy of art and beauty it was firmly situated within the tradition of western thought. Aesthetics was slow to embrace alternative or opposing views (these ranging from the Frankfurt School to poststructuralism) which by their uncompromising criticism endangered its existence, disregarding its central notions, categories, and objectives. It was only during the late eighties that aesthetics commenced to regain its previous theoretical relevance and to generate a broader interest. It accomplished this task mainly by becoming the broad spectrum of academic and theoretical discourses with which we identify it today, when the concept consists of a cluster of different, sometimes even opposed meanings. Aesthetics has thus often become a notion designating various theoretic activities which are related to art, beauty, cognition, perception, and, increasingly, culture. It is this variety of meanings, the combination of which would not long ago be considered eclectic, that is one of the features of contemporary globalism in aesthetics. 直到大約世紀中葉以前的美學-和透過我心中本來的西方美學-向來原本是哲學的一門學科, 它只在罕見的例子中企圖超越它的傳統學術境界. 做為藝術學和美它穩固的座落在傳統西方思想的範圍內.　美學是擁抱兩者之一或相對的視野(這包含法蘭克福學校到後結構主義)從他們不妥協的批評快絕種的它的存在, 忽視它的中心思想, 範疇, 和目標. 只在80後期年代期間美學開始恢復它的以前的理論的關聯性並且產生一個更寬的興趣。 它主要透過成為我們今天鑑定它的學術性和理論的講話的寬的範圍完成這項任務，當概念由一串不同，有時甚至反對的意思組成時。 美學因此經常成為指明與藝術，美容，認知，知覺有關的各種各樣的理論的活動的一種理念，並且，越來越，文化。這是意思的這種類，其結合將不久以前被認為折衷派，那是在美學方面的當代全球互相依賴論的特徵之一。 At first sight globalization in aesthetics appears not only as an extant fact but also as an accelerating process. But what is globalization? In the opinion of Roland Robertson, globalization i
