Talking about art should be contiguous with talking about other relevant matters. 520 What Art Is Like is a comic, serious inquiry into the nature of art. It provides welcome relief from prevailing modes of explaining art that involve definitions, philosophical claims, and critical judgments put forth by third parties. Scrapping all such chatter, Miguel Tamen's aphoristic lark with aesthetic questions proceeds by taking its technical vocabulary only from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking- Glass. According to Tamen, it would be ridiculous to think of poems or paintings or films or any variety of artistic production as distinct from other things in the world, including people. Talking about art should be contiguous with talking about many other relevant and important matters. Tamen offers a series of analogies and similes to help us imagine these connected experiences. One, taken from the analytical table of contents where the book is writ small, suggests that "understanding a poem is like understanding a cat; neither ever says anything back and you can't keep a conversation with them. All art is like this, but not only art is like this; nature, the past, numbers are also like this." Tamen takes up many central issues in aesthetics and the philosophy of art, including the connection between art and having fuzzy ideas about art, the mistake of imagining that art-decisions are put forth by art-courts where you are both judge and jury, and the notion that what happens with art also happens to you. 588 0 Print version record. 600 00 Alice|c(Fictitious character from Carroll)|0http:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014027041 600 10 Carroll, Lewis,|d1832-1898.|tAlice's adventures in Wonderland.|0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79080561 600 10 Carroll, Lewis,|d1832-1898.|tThrough the looking-glass. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n83196986 650 0 Art|xPhilosophy.|0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85007494 653 Multi-User. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aTamen, Miguel.|tWhat art is like, in constant reference to the Alice books.|dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2012 |z9780674067066|w(DLC) 2012010777|w(OCoLC)781077825 956 40 |uhttp://proxy.opal-libraries.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=502807|zView online 990 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEbook Central Academic Complete |c2018-03-09|yAdded to collection pqebk.acadcomplete - Removed from collection pqebk.acadcomplete|5OXB 990 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEbook Central Academic Complete |c2018-03-09|yAdded to collection pqebk.acadcomplete - Removed from collection pqebk.acadcomplete|5MAL 990 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEbook Central Academic Complete |c2018-03-09|yAdded to collection pqebk.acadcomplete - Removed from collection pqebk.acadcomplete|5MTU 990 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America|c2017-09-22|yMaster record variable field(s) change: 505|5OHN 990 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEbook Central Academic Complete |c2017-09-22|yMaster record variable field(s) change: 505 |5OXB 990 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEbook Central Academic Complete |c2017-09-22|yMaster record variable field(s) change: 505 |5MTU 990 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEbook Central Academic Complete |c2017-09-22|yMaster record variable field(s) change: 505 |5MAL 990 ProQuest ebrary|bebrary Academic Complete|c2017-08-11 |yRemoved from collection ebrary.ebooks|5MTU 990 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEbook Central Academic Complete |c2017-08-11|yCustom text change|5MTU 990 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEbook Central Academic Complete |c2017-07-28|yAdded to collection pqebk.acadcomplete - Removed from collection pqebk.acadcomplete|5MAL 990 ProQuest ebrary|bebrary Academic Complete|c2017-04-20|5MTU 990 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEbook Central Academic Complete |c2017-06-16|5OXB 990 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEbook Central Academic Complete |c2017-07-21|yAdded to collection pqebk.acadcomplete|5MAL 990 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEbook Central Academic Complete |c2017-08-05|yAdded to collection pqebk.acadcomplete|5MTU 990 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America|c2017-02-10|yMaster record variable field(s) change: 505|5OHN 990 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America|c2016-09-16|yMaster record variable field(s) change: 245
