Hermeneutyka spojrzenia we współczesnej sztuce wizualnej. Idea widzeniai poetyckie „wypatrywanie”

Author(s): Rafał Solewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 217/2016

The article at the beginning recalls the various reflections on looking, seeing, vision and im - age discussed within the so-called visual turn. Next we conduct analyzes and interpretations of works of David Hockney, Marina Abramovic and Robert Cahen, which deal with different aspects of looking, seeing, vision, and perception of another. The presence of poetic opera - tions in works, discovered in hermeneutical interpretation, is indicated. Such an interpre - tation allows to reveal the intuitions and traces of metaphysical ideas in works of art and through works of art, to which the research discourses dominating within the so-called visual turn did not sufficiently served. In conclusion, I propose to use the term “to actively seek” for the intuition of metaphysics, based on the analogy with the Hans-Georg Gadamer concept.

Flexible, shaky form. “Fatality of the commentary” and socially engaged art.

Author(s): Łukasz Białkowski / Language(s): English Issue: 217/2016

The article has analyzed the methodological proposals for exploring the history of the art of social involvement, which Claire Bishop puts in her book Artificial Hells. According to this Anglo-American critic and art historian, a key role in writing the history of this type of artistic activity can play the notion of form. In its view, this concept allows for differentiated components of participatory actions and often contradictory tendencies which they reveal. This article discusses the possibility of analyzing participative activities using the notion of form, and also argues that using the notion of form in such a context can lead to completely different results than assumed by Claire Bishop: blurring the structure of a work of art and shifting the accent from the effectiveness of such actions to building their meaning and determining the strength of their impact only at the level of theory.

The role of beauty in the educational programme of the Parisian St. Victor School

Author(s): Wanda Bajor / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Educating a human being is a task that has always stood close to philosophy and sometimes has become philosophy itself, as in the life work of Socrates following the motto with heroic consistency: “Know thyself ” (scire te ipsum). European culture adopted this principle and incorporated it into its intellectual-spiritual tissue in various guises over the centuries. During the Middle Ages, in the works of Christian thinkers inspired by Neoplatonic philosophy (such as in the views of the scholars of the Saint Victor school in Paris), this tradition was combined with the motif of “being beauty” (pulchrum esse) and enriched by aesthetic thought; beauty with all its richness of form and expression, together with truth and goodness, as Plotinus wanted, marked out the path of man;s “renewal” and showed him the ultimate goal of beatum esse — being happy. The sensitivity and aesthetic sophistication of the Victorine authors of the 12th-century theory of education breathe freshness and an Epicurean joie de vivre, which certainly creates the potential to appeal to contemporary man.

W kręgu Tadeusza Kudlińskiego: Wiesław Gorecki

Author(s): Michał Zdunik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 18/2018

Three one-act plays – The Elevator, The Rebellion and The Freud – written by Wiesław Gorecki are analysed in the paper. These plays were premiered in 1934 by a theatre group Mikroscena, founded by Tadeusz Kudliński. In my opinion, Wiesław Gorecki’s dramas are examples of modern aesthetics (as defined by Richard Sheppard). We can read these works as a poetic drama (The Elevator), the Ibsenesque psychological theatre (The Fraud) and a game with scenic illusion in the style of Pirandello (The Rebellion). Finally, I created a new term for Goreckis’ plays: “miniature, light and bourgeois modernism”.

Piotr Skrzynecki: performer nieustającego święta

Author(s): Marek Pieniążek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2021

The author of this article highlights the performative aspects of Piotr Skrzynecki’s cabaret and theatre activities, which triggered a special kind of artistic communication with the audience. He places the artist’s profile against the background of communist Poland and the post-transformation cultural reality, emphasising Skrzynecki’s independence from ideological and economic conditions. The creative life of the founder of Piwnica pod Baranami is shown as producing social, communal, and artistic situations of collective celebration. The impact of the cabaret of the Piwnica pod Baranami is analysed by the author as an intentional production of a feedback loop between aesthetic, social, and political groups, establishing a community around the stage event.

Да живееш с призраци: психоанализата като призракология

Author(s): Valentin Kalinov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2023

The present article attempts to examine the practice of psychoanalysis and the field of psychoanalytic experience from the perspective of the so-called hauntological turn in the humanities. In the logic of the unconscious, the central event of analytic interaction is seen as an apparition in three different aspects: that of the revenant (the return of the repressed), that of the phantom (as the secret of the Other in the subject's unconscious), and that of the spectre (as a relation of responsibility to the Other). We will suggest that psychoanalysis – and perhaps only psychoanalysis – gives the ghosts a real place; and even more: in a particular way psychoanalysis makes them a place of truth, incorporating them into itself, giving them a full share in its history, and opening up the possibility that they can have their own refuge in it, their own history. Psychoanalysis, in other words, endows ghosts with the freedom in which any articulation of meaning for the subject is possible.

За Исак Паси и неговите недоброжелатели

Author(s): Ivan Stefanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2023

At certain points in his scientific career prof. Isaac Passy was ideologically stigmatized by his unsympathetic colleagues. As a result, he experienced great difficulties in life and in his career, was attacked ideologically through written accusations of ideological sins (idealism, subjectivism, revisionism), and suffered political suspicions about his belief in Marxian reflection theory. To all these accusations I. Passy responded with tireless work, with numerous scientific publications, with writing prefaces to the works of great European thinkers and philosophers, with giving public lectures open not only for students but also for citizens. His detractors, in the end, failed to break this extremely erudite scholar and widely known and recognized Bulgarian intellectual. With his scientific achievements, Isaac Passy won for himself a reserved place in the Bulgarian cultural scene of twentieth century

Игри с/на Достоевски: философия и литература

Author(s): Nina Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2023

The article examines variants of modern game approaches to Dostoevsky's work, which in different ways highlight his philosophical significance and timeless relevance. Among these interpretations, special attention is paid to the literary and philosophical experiments of Vladimir Sorokin and Boris Akunin. The heuristic charge of these philosophical-literary games in a definitely literature-centric culture, such as the Russian one, is emphasized.

Жорж Папазов: между сюрреализма и лиричната абстракция

Author(s): Kalin Nikolov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2023

The article traces the dramatic vicissitudes of the life of the Bulgarian artist Georgi Papazov (Bulgaria, 1894–France, 1972). He was among the first artists to develop automatic painting as a way of overriding previously established techniques in drawing. Along with Juan Miró, André Masson, and Max Ernst, Malkin emerged as one of the first representatives of Surrealism as a movement in art. However, Papazov chose not to become an official member of the Surrealists so that he could freely experiment with other artistic styles without compromising his position in the group. He pursued his own interests in the art world, ranging from automatic painting and surrealism to expressionism, lyrical abstraction, and color-field painting. Shocked by their sectarianism, he refused to join the movement, which cost him complete neglect by historians of surrealism, as Jean-Paul Crispell wrote.

Ритуални паралели в архитектурата и детските игри

Author(s): Daniela Tsvetkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2023

The enfilade pattern is a constructive archetype found in both the material and spiritual fields. The simpler it is, the clearer its message and the stronger the faith it inspires. And vice versa: the abstract form of the structure leads to confusion. The concept of the Double Helix Enfilade of arch. Berberov suggests a complex architectural-urbanistic ensemble, the possibilities of which are revealed in the context of the creation of the Bulgarian alphabet and the phenomenon of miraculous icons. The enfilade scheme is found in rites that are transformed into transitory board games, usually with a religious or educational purpose. The most successful games in this category are based on the classic enfilade principle. The Double Helix Enfilade is suitable for successfully illustrating complex scientific theories. The games for boys and girls described in the article convey identical knowledge, but the way in which this happens is fundamentally different.

Poezja jako duchowe święto. O filozofii poezji Mieczysława Gogacza

Author(s): Grzegorz Pyszczek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 11/2022

The article concerns the philosophy of poetry by Mieczysław Gogacz. The first part presents the basic theses of the philosophy of poetry by Mieczysław Gogacz. The theses are based on Gogacz’s metaphysical concepts. The second part compares Gogacz`s philosophy of poetry with the concepts of the poetry by Jacques Maritain and the literary scholar Michael Edwards. According to Gogacz, poetic situation is the the basis of poetry . A poet is a person endowed with poetic sensitivity. Poetic sensitivity is the ability to perceive poetic situations. The poetic situation exists regardless of the poet’s psyche. The poet uses words and metaphors to describe the poetic situation he encounters in his life. The specificity of the poetic situation is the simultaneous integral perception of real and thought relations.

Prolegomena za Ničeov basnoslovni nauk

Author(s): Nikola Tatalović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 37/2022

The paper represents a preliminary work guided by the question of whether Nietzsche's writing belongs to the Aesopian tradition. The first part of the paper carries out the reading of Nietzsche's philosophy as “inverted Platonism” with regard to the understanding of the image as the promise of the concept in Plato, all for the sake of pointing out the intimacy of Nietzsche's and Plato's writing style. The second part of the paper, through a conversation with interpretations of Nietzsche that start from the general thesis that everything is the story, tries to get to the concreteness of the fable and its connection with the fate of the philosophical writing. The third section of the paper describes the relationship between the fable and Nietzsche's writing in three stages: By concretizing the fabulous character of Plato's and Nietzsche's writings, presenting the structure of the fable, and pointing out the significance of the question of what does it mean that the animal speaks in the fable?

Ničeovo poimanje helenskog, judeo-hrišćanskog, modernog i budućeg čoveka

Author(s): Nataša S. Milović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 37/2022

This work is dedicated to the exploration of that aspect of Nietzsche’s thought which we use to frame the epochal facet of his cultural-philosophical standpoint. It is specific because it’s not strictly articulated in his work, although he was, as we’ll show, also a thinker of cultural fundaments. His study of those fundaments was tied with intervention in the modern state of European culture which was, according to him, “debased in nihilism”. Therefore, his cultural-philosophical standpoint was crucially shaped by studying the origins of that nihilism, and the quest to overcome it. The aspect related to questioning of origins of nihilism was marked by Nietzsche’s relationship with Judeo-Christian and modern man, while the quest to overcome it was marked by his relation to Hellenic and “future” man. That bidirectional movement of his thought is linked to his genealogical method used to describe “man’s prehistorical work on himself”, as well as his effort to grasp the state of contemporary man, which, as he thought, couldn’t be observed from existing cultural-interpretative frameworks.

Joseph Conrad: obszary transcendencji – spór o moralny wymiar sztuki

Author(s): Piotr Jaroszyński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 31/2/2021

The aim of this article was to detail the problem posed by various Authors addressing the subject of the relationship between art and morality within different fields of philosophy and culture. My treatment has been limited to the views of the great English-language writer Joseph Conrad [Korzeniowski]. In his novels, based on his own rich experiences as a sailor and the accounts of his travel companions, he referred to extreme situations in which man, despite difficulties and even hopeless situations, managed not to succumb to pressure while preserving his human dignity. These were situations in which ethics prevailed over nature and the environment, where there was no justification for evil or wickedness, despite the high price to be paid. Finding situations and characters in which the drama of choice took place was the main axis, or rather the heart, of most of Conrad’s works. Since morality is a dimension of mainly human life, Conrad’s works are still a field of inspiration and admiration for thinking and morally sensitive people. It is a field of transgressing both oneself and one’s surroundings, but in the name of the highest values.

Modern Theater from Aesthetic Perspectives: Negation, Aesthetic Truth, and Temporal Dialectics in Eugene O’neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night

Author(s): Seyedeh Sara Foroozani,Bahee Hadaegh / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Modern aesthetics is fascinated by the quality of empirical expressions in art, where the most unattainable forms of experiences seek refuge to survive through temporal dialectics. Whereas modern art endeavors to transcend its inherent experience of suffering through negating the sociopolitical reality of the imposed suppressive pain, Theodor Adorno’s Aesthetic Theory associates itself with the study of a non‐ discursive form of experience that refers to the transient nature of a multilayered truth, compromising a self‐reflexive and subjectively temporal essence, to which all aesthetic questions terminate. Correspondingly, the current paper aims at approaching Eugene O’Neill’s mental theater from a new perspective, acknowledging the significance of temporal dialectics in modern aesthetics. Accordingly, the current research studies Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night based on the elements of temporal dialectics and aesthetic negation, confirming the significance of these elements in detecting the ultimate aesthetic truth in the works of literature.

KÜNSTLER(FIGUR): FIGURA ARTISTULUI LA THOMAS MANN ŞI CONEXIUNI CU ESTETICA LUI TUDOR VIANU. RECURENŢE ŞI ANALOGII CONCEPTUALE

Author(s): Stefana Duncea / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2022

Building upon previous research on Tudor Vianu’s aesthetics, the current article delves into the issue of art and the artist, a central theme in the aesthetic systems of the early 20th century (as exemplified by the Romanian critic T. Vianu) as well as in the literature of that epoch. The applied analysis concentrates on Thomas Mann, for whose work these issues were of major concern. The dialogue is explicit: the German author was of great interest for the Romanian theorist (Vianu was awarded his doctorate in Tübingen in 1923) and so we consider worth examining the shared standpoints regarding art in their approaches and the European concern of the time for the artist. The Künstler(figur) is discussed here based on Vianu’s aesthetics, but with an applied focus on Thomas Mann’s ambivalent artist protagonists (Tonio Kröger, Gustav Aschenbach, Adrian Leverkühn etc.), their identity and symbolism.

Utopia is the theme of many works of art, one can even claim that the arts are the ultimate description of utopia, and the arts strive to achieve utopia. The arts contain utopian elements, and actually, the arts are the completely accomplished version of utopia.

HERMENEUTIČKI PODSTICAJI RADOMIRA IVANOVIĆA: UMBERTO EKO

Author(s): Siniša Jelušić / Language(s): Montenegrine Issue: 21/2023

Academician Ivanović systematized the disciplinary scope of Umberto Eko, a longtime professor at the Department of Semiotics at the University of Bologna, by classifying it into three "comprehensive and very significant circles": 1. History, theology, anthropology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and culture. Information theory and cybernetics can be added to these as separate disciplines. 2. Aesthetics, science of literature, linguistics, poetics, stylistics, comparative studies and semiology - encyclopedic studies, journalism, translation, compilation of anthological selections. 3. Ivanović places the third circle in the center of his analytical interest. It refers to: fiction and painting, film theory and architecture, modern art in general and new media - primarily television. In the framework of this interpretation by Academician Ivanović, the most important is certainly the focus on the hermeneutic principles of Eco's theory of interpretation, which occupied a particularly privileged place in his own body of literary interpretations.
