As an art enthusiast, I find it somewhat discouraging that scholarly articles in such fields as philosophy, literature, film and history of art, despite the prestige and the significance usually associated with them, are scarcely received by the general public. I believe, as scholars in any field, scientific or artistic, we should find more effective platforms, other than periodic academic journals, to give vent to our insights. I wish to know if anyone has had the same feeling or concern in his/her field of study and, if so, what strategies one can use to overcome the barriers to presenting scholarly work as tuned to the general taste.
