“…Audiences expect to perceive a message in the movements, whether intellectually or emotionally stimulating. Furthermore, empirical research with static artworks has shown how the aesthetic experience can be altered as a function of the meaning that a participant sees in an artwork (Kirk, Skov, Hulme, Christensen, & Zeki, 2009;Leder, Carbon, & Ripsas, 2006;Russell, 2003). Knowing and understanding the "story" behind an artwork appears to be crucial to its aesthetic experience.…”

There may be minor differences in this draft with respect to the published version of the paper. Both authors contributed to the paper equally. Permanent repository link Dance as a subject for empirical aestheticsWe are grateful to Marcos Nadal for very useful comments and discussions on previous drafts of the paper and to dancers and choreographers (Tom Sapsford and MavinKhoo) for their help and assistance during some of the projects described throughout this paper. AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to highlight the possibilities that research on dance appreciation offers empirical aesthetics, as well as the challenges it poses. Behavioral and neuroimaging approaches have, to date, mainly focused on the perception and recognition of human body movement and structure. A small number of studies, nonetheless, have explicitly taken the basic research on the perceptual, emotional and cognitive processes engaged during movement observation, together with their neural concomitants, as a starting point to understand the aesthetic experience triggered by the observation of a dance. We provide an overview of these studies and, thereafter, point out avenues for future research on dance appreciation within the scope of empirical aesthetics. We also note some methodological and conceptual issues that should be taken into account in the design of empirical studies of the aesthetic appreciation of dance, including dance theory scholarship and humanistic approaches to dance practice.Finally, we describe how common movement features of dance styles around the world suggest that humans may be endowed with an evolved cognitive ability to appreciate and to be aesthetically moved by dance.

“…These works demonstrated that people describe paintings differently after they read the title Franklin et al [1993]. Also, they postulate that title and description of paintings can improve the understanding Leder et al [2006] and the aesthetic evaluation Hristova et al [2011]; Millis [2001]. The influence of title and description is even more crucial for abstract artworks where the visual clues are open to interpretation.…”

“…According to the results of previous studies on the effect of "title" on the audience's perception of an art work that show "title" affects the audience's perception (Abdollahabadi and Moghimnezhad, 2012and Moadikhah and Namvar Motlaq, 2013and Franklin et al, 1993and Ledera et al, 2006, in conceptual art that audience's perception of the work is highly regarded, the "title" role is a serious matter. A conceptual artist by entitling his work makes a language game on the concept between the "title" and "what is screened", furthermore forms the final concept of the artwork.…”

By paying more attention to "concept" of artwork in Postmodern and Contemporary Art, and with the advent of Hermeneutic and Intertextual topics in art, attentions to "title" effects on transferring and turning of concept have increased. Conceptual Art has concerned with these effects more than the other movements. The purpose of this study is identifying of "title" function in visual conceptual art and "title" effectiveness on audience's perception of these works. The article has been conducted on the basis of a Sequential Multi-Method including Semi-Experimental, and Content Analysis methods. The researchers have been experimented "title" effects by semi-experimental method on perception of the sample group members of two visual conceptual artworks. Each one of these two works which made by the researcher have been presented to respondents in "without title" and "titled" situations in which has been requested them to write their perception of the artworks by separate questionnaires including an open-ended question. Then, the information has been processed using content analysis method. The results have been analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The authors have based Set Theory in quantitative study part. this article has innovation not only in applying combined methodology in art territory studies, but also in studying "title" effects quantitatively. The results show that "title" in a visual conceptual artwork is considered the part of a work itself and it's not something separate from it. Furthermore, "title" involves in transferring visual conceptual artworks concept and can change their concept between 70% to 80% and turn it between 50% to 64% and concentrate it into some concepts that itself predicate on them, but cannot thin it out into one. "Title" is also able to limit audience's perception of these works between 47% to 61% and expand it between 19% to 32% and create new concepts.
