Declining or Waning
- Traditional Aesthetic Theories:
There appears to be a waning interest in traditional aesthetic theories that do not integrate contemporary critical perspectives. The journal is moving towards more dynamic and context-sensitive explorations of aesthetics. - Purely Historical Studies of Art:
Research that solely focuses on historical accounts of art without connecting to modern educational practices or theories is less frequently published, indicating a preference for studies that link history with current educational relevance. - Narrowly Defined Artistic Disciplines:
The examination of specific artistic disciplines in isolation is declining, as the journal increasingly favors interdisciplinary studies that encompass broader aesthetic experiences rather than focusing on individual art forms. - Overly Technical Aesthetic Evaluations:
There is a noticeable decrease in papers that engage in overly technical or formal evaluations of aesthetic works without considering the educational implications or experiential aspects. - Aesthetic Experience as a Sole Focus:
The journal is shifting away from discussions that treat aesthetic experience as an isolated phenomenon, moving towards integrating these experiences within broader educational and ethical frameworks.
