Product Description

A novel fusing of multiple approaches and range of examples exploring the dimensions, objects, and import of aesthetic encounters. We encounter in our lives things and situations that elicit from us special forms of attention.They affect and inform us in various ways, drawing us in and holding us in their grasp or turning us away.Works of art of all sorts, and nature in its myriad manifestations, exemplify these luring and repelling qualities and potencies.Dimensions of Aesthetic Encounters explores central perceptual, interpretative, and semiotic dimensions of these encounters, combining a wide range of examples and intellectual resources from pragmatist, hermeneutical, and semiotic frameworks.Practicing a kind of "method of rotation" Robert E. Innis breaks down barriers in aesthetic theory and shows their complementary powers.Recurring themes link each chapter, throwing a powerful light on aesthetic encounters by foregrounding such pivotal notions as play, fundedness and the role of memory, the defining quality of an artwork, energies of objects, potencies, rhythm, form, presentational abstraction, medium, symbolization, intuition, role of the body, and the non-argumentative nature of art.
