Nautical aesthetics II

 Thus, I shall divide the scope of my newly invented academic aesthetic work, nautical or sea aesthetics, in the next parts:

1) Aesthetics of the sea. Perceiving and appreciating the sea, the water mass it self: the life in it, the wind and the weather, all the phenomena that exist there even without any human presence.

2) Aesthetics of the ships. This, as you can see, deals with the non-exploitative philosophy of all the vessels sailing on the sea, from the sup and surf boards up to the biggest oil tankers, cruise ships and air craft carriers, submarines, and, if needed, also amphibian air crafts.

3) Philosophy of experiences on and by the sea. Work, leisure, sports, arts high and popular, storms on a tiny sailing yacht, beach volley matches, sunburned skin, hypothermia, thunder, squall, calm etc. A special attention is given to the feelings: appreciation, fear, tediousness of all blue sphere inside which a sailor travels across the sea.

4) A special attention will be given to perceiving the sea with the other senses than vision. How does the sea sound like and what are we able to hear about it? How does it feel? What do we think about being seasick.

5) Finally I would like to wonder and play with the words we use describing the sea, seafaring and all that. I guess I should know the language of the words thoroughly in order to understand the nuances.

6) The actual research corpus ot nautical aesthetics can be one's own experiences and memories, videos, sound recordings, photos, literature artifacts, writings, interviews, news, academic articles. I guess even the scientific research could be encompassed. May be not the methods themselves, but the reasons of that work, the motivation of the researchers and the use of the results.

7) Sea romantics from sea spirited fashion to the extreme realism of Stormskärs Maja is worth its own chapter.

Article shape and Ofxord fashion!
