Keywords:
Aesthetics, Arts and CulturesAbstract
Aesthetics is one very ancient and yet relevant concepts in the fields of arts and culture. It has been around in humanities for thousands of years, and continued to evolve with arts and cultures through periods as a meaningful concept growing in parallel to technology and advancement of other fields. Aesthetic is one kind of philosophy examining aspects of beauty and the arts. In addition, aesthetic refers to the theory of senses and experiences. This study attempts to find ways to further benefit the study of arts and culture using the what is now interdisciplinary concepts and provides a basis for interpretation and application of aesthetics to benefit research in arts and culture, that would provide the ways for more study, discovery, and the building of knowledge. Having outlined the characteristics and importance of aesthetics in research related to arts and culture, this research article then poses two research objectives including a) to understand the implications and applications of aesthetics in arts and culture research and b) to know the ways that aesthetics can be linked to other interdisciplinary concepts in arts and culture research.
This research article uses the documentary research method covering 12 Master of Arts Program in Arts Performance Communication (MA-APC) Independent Studies on arts and cultures from 2021. Independent studies reviewed showed that aesthetics still is an important and potent concept to study arts and cultures in the contemporary society while revealing the importance of using interdisciplinary research approaches in studying arts and cultures through proper definitions, applications, and frameworks. Future research should be conducted more on interdisciplinary fields of arts and cultures in more countries in Asia and Europe to draw more insights and knowledge gained from this topic. In addition, aesthetics should also be better understood through the lens of sciences and technologies from users and marketing perspectives.
