In this dissertation I argue that there is an overlap between art and sport.

In this dissertation I argue that there is an overlap between art and sport. This is achieved by using established theories of art such as formalism, mimesis, expressionism and so on and then showing how one can argue that art exhibits similar features to sport. This is developed further by using philosophers such as Kant and Wittgenstein to justify the idea that the quotidian is indeed an everyday aesthetic and even more than that may be considered as a kind of art. I also draw on historical and institutional meanings, arguing that sport like art is a kind of game and yet it is not simply self-referential, but in a very deep way also contains extra-aesthetic dimensions. The upshot is that art and aesthetics are pervasive and further research may establish not only a theoretical link between "high" art and "low" culture such as sport, but in fact a reciprocal practical benefit. In essence this thesis presents new and pioneering research on the inter-disciplinary nexus between artand sport.
Autorenporträt
Dr Shorkend holds a doctorate in art history and is a practicing artist (painter). His output reflects both an academic penchant and a Romantic spirit. He has published several fictional and non fictional work in his pursuit of truth and the realization that such a pursuit is probably doomed to failure.
