Announcing a New Book Series with Parlor Press
Aesthetic Critical Inquiry

At least from the beginning of the twentieth century, artists and scholars
have created critical investigations presented in aesthetic terms through
word and image. Neither conventional academic text nor traditional work of
art, this hybrid research produces knowledge by combining rigorous analysis
with affective visual and written language. Such material appeals to the
mind and the senses, and operates on the premise that learning occurs most
powerfully when intellectual study incorporates noumenal and phenomenal
experience. Important examples of aesthetic critical inquiry include:
illustrated essays in Surrealist periodicals; Conceptual art that
interrogates theory; poetically written and creatively designed cultural
criticism; and digital projects that deliver information and ideas through
artful web design.

This series provides a forum for aesthetic critical inquiry through the
printed and digital book format and aims to defy developing categories for
interdisciplinary research. Interdisciplinarity is currently understood in
terms of hybrid subjects and/or methods within academic scholarship.
Aesthetic critical inquiry bridges academic scholarship and artistic
creation, and thereby fundamentally questions not only what we know, but
also how we know it. Because of this emphasis on interdisciplinarity, the
series will highlight collaborative endeavors between writers and artists.

The series will publish books and digital projects that explore and
reconfigure the following subjects:

Activism
Culture
Epistemology
Hermeneutics
Histories
Politics
Religions
Sciences
Societies
Technologies
