Time and again, many aesthetic controversies have not been adequately addressed, and this has become a common concern among scholars in contemporary aesthetics. This volume therefore seeks to contribute new perspectives to these controversies by shedding light on some of the fresh views among the leading theorists working in the field today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables  About the Authors    Introduction: Controversy and Construction in Contemporary Aesthetics: an Introduction   Jie Wang, Zheng Shen and Armida de la Garza    PART 1: Classical Theories and New Phenomena: Technological Advancements    1 Aesthetics and the Arts of Engagement   Arnold Berleant  2 Adorno, Stiegler, and Industrial Schemata of Experience   Tyrus Miller  3 Social Value and Aesthetic Judgement – Television in the UK   David Margolies  4 Industrial Development of New Media Arts in China   Qingben Li    PART 2: Classical Theories and New Phenomena: Aesthetic Capitalism    5 Baudrillard, Hyperreality, and Emergency Capitalism   Fabio Vighi  6 The ‘Cultivated Imagination as a Condition Precedent for Revolutionary Class-Struggle’   Michael Sanders  7 Contemporary Aesthetics Issues: New Horizons for Researches of Economic Aesthetics in Economic Sociology   Alexander Petrov    PART 3: Transcultural Aesthetics    8 Fiction and the Imagination   Derek Matravers  9 Cultural Industries and the Cultural Front – Historical and Contemporary Reflections   Justin O’Connor  10 Aesthetics of Atmosphere and Intercultural Studies   Zhuofei Wang  11 Practice, Reflection and Inspiration of Art Involvement in Community Revitalization in Japan   Yongjian Wang    PART 4: The Rise of Chinese Aesthetics    12 Identity and Hybridity – Chinese Culture and Aesthetics in the Age of Globalization   Karl-Heinz Pohl  13 The Kowtow and the Eyeball Test   Mario Wenning  14 Intermediality in Qing Ming Shang He Tu: from Visual Image to Music   Germán Gil-Curiel  15 New Research Directions of Marxist Aesthetics: a Case of Contemporary China   Zheng Shen  16 Aesthetic Modernity: a Preliminary Exploration of the Ethnography of Emotions in Contemporary China   Jie Wang and Tian Shi    PART 5: Multidisciplinary Aesthetics: Converging of Fields    17 What Does It Mean to be Human?
