Abstract Experiencing the emotion in a piece of music “from within” involves imagining feeling that emotion, but just what does one imagine, and why? It has been suggested that one imagines, of one’s experience of hearing the sounds, that it is one’s feeling the emotion. This suggestion, it is argued here, is unworkable. A better idea is that one imagines oneself to be expressing one’s emotion in the sounds of the music. But imagining, by itself, is subject to few constraints; it is possible, with enough effort, to listen to an anxious piece of music, and imagine oneself expressing one’s joy through it. To vindicate the idea, then, the constraints under which one imagines when one listens “from within” must be described. It is argued that one imagines feeling, for example, sad when listening to sad music from within, because one begins by imagining one’s hearing the sounds to be one’s perceiving one’s own behavior, and then allows this imaginative episode to unfold involuntarily. An imagining that one feels sad is then generated, in part, by an offline-running of one’s disposition to infer what emotion one feels from internal perceptions of one’s behavior.

Abstract What is it in virtue of which any poetic output will be included or excluded from the category of art? I will first identify the external demarcation problem, which is concerned with whether or how the cut-off is made between art and non-art. I will then adopt a nonclassical approach to conceptual analysis by relying on a set of examples of poetry generated by aleatory processes to evaluate an intention-based response to the external demarcation problem. I will argue in favor of an intention-based response that is grounded in hypothetical intentionalism. According to this response, a contextually informed audience will form a hypothesis about poetic intentions on the basis of the evidence that a work makes publicly available. Semantic, categorial, and ostensive intention and intention traces may help this audience to determine whether a work counts as art and is worth effortful interpretation. My proposed version of an intention-based response to the external demarcation problem will be based on the p-valued hypothesis-testing approach in science and will be highly relevant to a context of production in which we find human poets, poetry-generating AI systems, and human-AI interfaces.

Abstract In this article, I consider a set of curious cases from the world of rock music: putative “cover versions” that differ from their corresponding canonical tracks to such an extent that it seems doubtful whether they even count as performances of the same songs. Though I address the ontological question of how or whether these tracks could be classified as actual cover songs, in this paper I am more concerned with the evaluative question of how we should attempt to appreciate them as such (as we are invited to do, I argue, according to the recordings’ metatextual cues). I will argue that these irreconcilable covers, as I call them, are best appreciated as conceptual artworks that function in a manner somewhat analogous to how Arthur Danto argues that Andy Warhol’s famed Brillo Box sculptures function; prompting us to reflect on the nature of art (and non-art). Through adopting a strategy that is, in some respects, the inverse of Warhol’s, these covers make a similar invitation to listeners to consider the nature of rock covers and covering practices, and to reflect on the stances that we—listeners and artists alike—might take in relation to rock’s past and its ever-available recorded archive.
