商品描述

This book offers a theory of those formal properties of art that are apt to afford strong aesthetic experience - a project resembling Aristotle's in the Poetics, where he analysed structures in tragedies that condition the "peculiar pleasure" of tragedy. However, the book's scope cuts across all genres of literature and also includes classical music - the formal art par excellence. Drawing on a wide array of recent theoretical work and empirical evidence, the book closely analyses dozens of examples of both art forms. Besides Aristotle, major inspiration comes from two modern master thinkers: the linguist Roman Jakobson, who defined the "poetic function" of language, and the rhetorician Kenneth Burke, who proposed a "psychological" concept of form. Throughout, the book argues for aesthetic experience as an end in itself and a component of quality of life, one to which everyone should have access - rather than just a means to other ends.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了一種關於藝術形式特性理論,這些特性能夠帶來強烈的美學體驗——這個計畫類似於亞里士多德在《詩學》中所做的分析,他分析了悲劇中結構如何影響悲劇的「特殊快感」。然而,這本書的範疇跨越所有文學類型,並且還包括古典音樂——這是形式藝術的典範。書中借鑒了大量近期的理論研究和實證證據,詳細分析了這兩種藝術形式的數十個例子。除了亞里士多德,主要的靈感來自兩位現代大師思想家:語言學家羅曼·雅各布森,他定義了語言的「詩意功能」,以及修辭學家肯尼斯·伯克,他提出了一種「心理學」的形式概念。整本書主張美學體驗本身就是一個目的,並且是生活品質的一個組成部分,應該讓每個人都能夠接觸到——而不僅僅是達成其他目的的手段。
