Abstract

Abstract:This article discusses the ways in which the practical benefit of poetry, as a source of healing power to reduce distress, is enhanced through incorporating a detailed analysis of literary texts and their sources that relate to the author’s depiction of the human predicament and suggestions for liberation from it. This article focuses on two Romantic poems as case studies, Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “Mutability” (1816) and John Keats’s “Ode on Melancholy” (1820), to highlight an effective way of inspiring students to recognize the poets’ representations of anxiety and their poems’ therapeutic effects. By pointing out the limitations of recent studies promoting the curative power of poetry, the article examines precise literary aspects of the two works, which facilitate the relief from inner affliction for readers as they discuss in detail the concept of affliction in its association with the realities of instability and depression. It suggests a method of providing poetry education that reveals the paradox of suffering and self-remedy and thereby reinforces comprehension.
诗歌的实践教育:从雪莱的《变异性》和济慈的《忧郁颂》中发现痛苦和治疗效果
摘要:本文通过对文学文本及其来源的详细分析,讨论了诗歌作为减轻痛苦的疗愈力量的来源,如何提高其实际效益,这些文本与作者对人类困境的描述有关,并提出了从困境中解脱出来的建议,Percy Bysshe Shelley的《可变性》(1816)和John Keats的《忧郁颂》(1820),强调了一种有效的方式来激励学生认识到诗人对焦虑的表征及其诗歌的治疗效果。通过指出最近关于诗歌治疗力的研究的局限性,文章考察了这两部作品的确切文学方面,这有助于读者在详细讨论痛苦的概念及其与不稳定和抑郁现实的联系时,从内心的痛苦中解脱出来。它提出了一种提供诗歌教育的方法,揭示了痛苦与自我补救的悖论,从而加强了理解。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Aesthetic Education (JAE) is a highly respected interdisciplinary journal that focuses on clarifying the issues of aesthetic education understood in its most extensive meaning. The journal thus welcomes articles on philosophical aesthetics and education, to problem areas in education critical to arts and humanities at all institutional levels; to an understanding of the aesthetic import of the new communications media and environmental aesthetics; and to an understanding of the aesthetic character of humanistic disciplines. The journal is a valuable resource not only to educators, but also to philosophers, art critics and art historians.
