Book Synopsis Seeking the Beautiful by : Edward Risden
Download or read book Seeking the Beautiful written by Edward Risden and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking the Beautiful: A Study in Literary Aesthetics comprises essays both theoretical and applied, with a focus on English medieval and Renaissance texts. While the term aesthetics may imply simply sensory perception or expression, this volume considers what makes literary texts beautiful. While of course any such study must involve subjective judgment, one can still describe subjective experience and share it with others, with the goal of expanding others' and one's own potential for enjoying works of literary art. Academic discussion most often deals with meaning or the social or psychological implications of writing and reading, and we tend to neglect what often draws us to read in the first place: a text's verbal or imaginative beauty. Our favourite texts make us re-readers as well as readers. Using a variety of examples--including Shakespeare plays, Spenser's Faerie Queene, Worth's Urania, Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, Milton's Paradise Lost, Chaucer's Knight's Tale, Beowulf, 'The Dream of the Rood' and others, this study highlights the idea of texture, pleasure through depth, variety, and passionate liveliness, as a means to consider textual beauty. Explicitly an essay, an attempt, it aims to connect theoretical strands from Classical through Postmodern thought to formulate a joy of reading that may encourage dialogue on why we love the literature we love.

Book Synopsis Esthetics of Style by : Dushan Bresky
Download or read book Esthetics of Style written by Dushan Bresky and published by New York : P. Lang. This book was released on 1989 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying the criteria of esthetic evaluation outlined in Literary Practice I, Bresky continues his trilogy with multilevel valuatory analysis of the writing techniques distinguishing literary art. Each chapter defines and illustrates stylistic elements categorized as semantic, rhetorical, macrorhetorical, prosodic, syntactic and compositional (macrosyntactic) stimuli. The main goal is to appraise the scope and power of their stimulative intensity. Bresky again collaborates with biometrist Miroslav Malik and invited Brian Gill to contribute the chapter on the esthetics of syntax. In recording reader responses, Malik uses new sensitive equipment reflecting the evolution of biometric methods. The results demonstrate the auxiliary role of biometric measurements in the assessment of elusive esthetic impact. With its «mini-anthology» of illustrative texts, the study can serve not only as a scholarly reference but also as a textbook in literature courses devoted to criticism, theory, or creative writing. The author is now completing Literary Practice III - Esthetics of Literary Subjects.
Book Synopsis Esthetics as Nightmare by : Charles A. Moser
Download or read book Esthetics as Nightmare written by Charles A. Moser and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an epoch of "censorship terror" drew to a close with the death of Nicholas I and the end of the Crimean War, Russian intellectuals had begun expressing their desires for political, philosophical, and religious reform through passionate debates over literature and esthetics. Charles Moser re-creates the leading controversies over literature and art during a crucial period that saw the work of such authors as Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy. Emphasizing particularly the years from 1862 to 1870, Moser presents the doctrines of lesser known and major figures from both liberal and conservative camps, which influenced the development of Socialist Realism and Russian Formalism. The debates presented begin with a discussion of an essay by Nikolay Chernyshevsky, "Esthetic Relations of Art to Reality," which set the stage for the entire period. Among the many topics examined by the author are the doctrines of the radical critic Dmitry Pisarev and the writings of his opponents, such as Nikolay Solovev and Evgeny Edelson. Originally published in 1989. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Book Synopsis Beyond Feminist Aesthetics by : Rita Felski
Download or read book Beyond Feminist Aesthetics written by Rita Felski and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Felski presents a critical account of current American and European feminist literary theory, and analyzes contemporary fiction by women to show that no theorist can identify a specifically "female" or "feminine" kind of writing without reference to what gender means at a given historical moment. She argues that the idea of a feminist aesthetic is a non-issue needlessly pursued by feminists. She calls for a consideration of the social and cultural context in which these texts were produced and received, and demonstrates her method of an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of literature which can integrate literary and social theory.

Book Synopsis Esthetics of Literary Subjects by : Dushan Bresky
Download or read book Esthetics of Literary Subjects written by Dushan Bresky and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Practice III concludes Dushan Bresky's major critical trilogy. Following Volume I, outlining a comprehensive method for evaluating literary art, and Volume II, analyzing the elusive stimulative qualities of style, Volume III focuses on the esthetics of literary content. Its time-tested subjects include violent and psychological conflicts, erotic bonds, as well as humorous, supernatural, fantastic, utopian, and bizarre topics. In estimating their potential impact, Bresky draws not only on the French heritage (his academic specialty) but branches into all Western literatures, ranging from the Illiad and the medieval Legenda Aurea to the novels of Samuel Beckett and John Updike. In the «Biocybernetic Epilog» written just before his death in 1998, collaborator Miroslav Malik discusses the evolution of biometric techniques designed to monitor our responses to perception and their auxiliary role in esthetic literary criticism.
Book Synopsis Aesthetic Subjects by : Pamela R. Matthews
Download or read book Aesthetic Subjects written by Pamela R. Matthews and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent calls for a return to aesthetics occur precisely at a moment when it is increasingly evident that nothing concerning aesthetics is self-evident anymore. Determined to recover the value of aesthetic experience for artistic, cultural, and social analysis, the contributors to this volume--prominent scholars in literature, philosophy, art history, architecture, history, and anthropology--begin from a shared recognition that ideological readings of the aesthetic have provided invaluable insights, in particular, that analyses of aesthetics within historical and social contexts tell us a great deal about the experience of aesthetic encounters. From multiple and complementary perspectives, the contributors address topics as varied as Nabokov and Dickens, Caravaggio and Shelley Winters, gender and sexuality, advertising and AIDS. Taken together, their essays constitute a sustained and multifarious effort to resituate aesthetic pleasure in the mixed, impure conditions characteristic of every social practice and experience, however privileged or marginalized, and to ask what happens to the aesthetic if we consider it apart from--or at least in tension with--its historically dominant discursive formulations. As such, this volume establishes a renewed sense of aesthetic discourse and its usefulness as a tool for understanding culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aesthetics in a Multicultural Age examines a variety of significant multidisciplinary and multicultural topics within the subject of aesthetics. Addressing the vexed relation of the arts and criticism to current political and cultural concerns, the contributors to this volume attempt to bridge the two decades-old gap between scholars and critics who hold conflicting views of the purposes of art and criticism. By exploring some of the ways in which global migration and expanding ethnic diversity are affecting cultural productions and prompting reassessment of the nature and role of aesthetic discourse, this volume provides a new evaluation of aesthetic ideas and practices within contemporary arts and letters.

Book excerpt: A culmination of de Man's thoughts on philosophy, politics and history.

De Man reads Kant and Hegel with a combination of philosophical vigour and interpretive pressure. The texts collected here were written or delivered as lectures during the last years of Man's life, between 1977 and 1983. Many of them have never been available previously in any form; these include essays from Kant's materialism, his relation to Schiller, and the concept of irony.
