Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The book series Andere Ästhetik – Koordinaten (AÄK) (Different Aesthetics – Coordinates) of the Collaborative Research Centre 1391 comprises volumes that address key aspects of a pre-modern aesthetics in an interdisciplinary and transcultural perspective.
MoreLong description:
This interdisciplinary volume emerges from the Collaborative Research Center Andere Ästhetik, which explores how premodern artifacts reflect on their own aesthetic status. It turns to a theme central to aesthetic thought from antiquity to the present: the tension between illusion and appearance.
At its core is the tension between radiance and shining, visibility and coming-into-appearance on the one hand, and illusion and mere appearance as deception on the other. Closely tied to light, illumination, and reflection, these notions also evoke blinding, concealment, and misdirection.
Through case studies of selected texts, monuments, and artworks from antiquity to the early modern period, contributors from multiple disciplines examine how phenomena of radiance, appearance, and illusion are staged and interpreted. The essays ask under which cultural-historical conditions aesthetic configurations are perceived as enlightening and instructive, and when they are judged to be obscuring or deceptive.
By tracing the shifting boundaries between revelation and illusion, the volume opens up diverse perspectives on the enduring ambiguity of aesthetic appearance.
Der Tübinger Sonderforschungsbereich 1391 Andere Ästhetik untersucht Texte, Bilder und Objekte der europäischen Vormoderne. Gefragt wird danach, wie diese ihren ästhetischen Status bestimmen. Ziel ist es, den Beitrag einer 2000-jährigen Kulturgeschichte vor dem 18. Jahrhundert für ein Verständnis des Ästhetischen neu aufzuzeigen.
Die Schriften des Sonderforschungsbereichs 1391 Andere Ästhetik erscheinen in zwei Reihen in Kooperation mit dem De Gruyter Verlag.
Die Reihe Andere Ästhetik – Koordinaten (AÄK) des Sonderforschungsbereichs 1391 setzt sich aus Publikationen zusammen, die interdisziplinär und transkulturell Leitaspekte einer vormodernen Ästhetik in programmatischer Weise fokussieren.
Die Reihe Andere Ästhetik – Studien (AÄS) umfasst Sammelbände und Monographien, die sich vor allem in fachdisziplinärer Perspektive mit dem Forschungsprogramm des Sonderforschungsbereichs 1391 auseinandersetzen.
