Culinary aesthetics: World-traveling with culinary arts

“…Instead of merely applying Dewey's theory, I was "thinking with theory" (Jackson & Mazzei, 2013), abductively putting several Deweyan conceptions to the test by questioning the appropriateness of each theoretical component and its interchange with the subject matter. To support to my conceptualization, I also consulted several post-Deweyan thinkers with similar food, art, and aesthetic interests (Kuehn, 2005(Kuehn, , 2012Koczanowicz, 2016;Leddy, 2012Leddy, , 2021Lee et al, 2020;Lee, 2021;Stroud, 2010Stroud, , 2011Stroud, , 2014.…”

“…Dewey's premise is built against the idea of separating art from experience, contending that when art is segmented and locked away (such as in museums), the natural order of human and art relations diminishes. Instead, Dewey argues that the aesthetic occurs when one interacts in unity with art in experience, not from a distance, allowing one to immerse in qualitative immediacy and contemporaneous fluidity (Leddy, 2021;Stroud, 2011). In the coming paragraphs, I elaborate on Dewey's thinking, which begins with, among many things, two core principles: interaction and continuity (Dewey, 1997(Dewey, /1916(Dewey, , 2005(Dewey, /1934(Dewey, , 2007(Dewey, /1938.…”

“…In doing so, one dangerously splits the intimate link between the creator from his/her creations while also disconnecting the creator from his/her audience, scattering the creator/creation/audience relations into isolated segments and domains. Aesthetic scholars persistently caution against such views (Kuehn, 2005;Leddy, 2021;Stroud, 2011), as the separation of the creator/creation/audience risks sterilizing the aesthetic phenomenon into rigid classifications and separations, segregating the organic fluidity each entity (i.e., creator/creation/audience) brings to the aesthetic whole.…”

A New Nursing Aesthetic

“…Dewey's ideas "enlarge the terrain of aesthetic experience from the realm of art to the everyday" and provide a framework, though not a formula, for understanding an expanded and pragmatic view of aesthetic experience (Puolakka, 2015). Deweyan influences (Dewey, 1934(Dewey, /1980Leddy & Puolakka, 2021) are evident in the following key characteristics of aesthetic experience: temporality (the past is carried into the present in a way that enriches understanding of the present situation); rhythm (a pattern of building intensity toward some resolution or fulfillment); and integrity (an organization of parts that are connected in a way to produce a sense of coherence and sense of completion about the experience).…”
