Learning Objectives
Considered as an advancement in aesthetic studies, the course aims to examine relevant issues for both philosophical and literary and artistic disciplines. Starting from a classical text like Aristotle's Poetics, we will examine the structure of the story, in particular of the tragedy, the function of the mimesis and the truthful character of the art. Tough Nelson Goodman we will explore the various languages of art, but the cognitive value of the artwork will go hand in hand with a criticism of the realism and mimesis. We will give a particular attention to the representation of visual arts and the perceptual construction of the aesthetic object, on the one hand, on the importance and value of narration for life and construction of the self, on the other.
Program
The course will address the following topics in the following order:
Mimesis, tragedy and truthful character of art in Aristotle's Poetics (chapters 1-15, 23, 25).
Criticism of realism, representation and symbols in N. Goodman.
The perceptual construction of the aesthetic object (O. Meo).
Narration, life and construction of the Self (M. Cometa).
