Central to these discussions is the claim that admiration of virtuous exemplars leads us to emulate them. Beginning from this familiar claim, in this paper I take a different approach by focusing on the expressive dimension of this affective experience. George Eliot’s best-known novel, Middlemarch, serves as a reference point for my discussion. Bracketing thicker forms of emulation, a more basic form of mimesis that the admiration of character naturally elicits is the attempt to represent this character to others. This descriptive project is attended by challenges of different kinds that tell us something important about its nature and parameters. The description of character is here motivated by a desire to convert others to one’s reasons. It is not so much a science as an art, one that demotes the standard virtues to the status of merely one, often not maximally expressive, tool among others. How does narrative mimesis become real-life emulation? How do encounters with outstanding character change us? One way of answering this question involves highlighting the role of such encounters in giving focus and content to desire, helping develop what Adam Smith called the standard of “absolute perfection.” Yet sensitivity to beauty of character is not merely a means to the formation of good character but one of its very constituents.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48992210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The historical paradigm shift from \"unselfconscious form-making processes\" to \"design-by-drawing\" is closely associated with the current transformation of manual drawing into \"digital\" or \"spatial sketching.\" It is argued that design-by-drawing has changed our view of manual drawing as a body technique, for example, from hand–eye coordination more toward an aesthetic perspective by coupling certain forms of attention to this technique. Design-by-drawing is transforming manual drawing into diagramming, coding, or modeling within the paradigm of system design. It becomes obvious that the paradigm shift is not based on disruptive but on incremental innovations since the 1960s. An important focus is on the disparity between a deskilling of classical manual abilities and a reskilling of \"body techniques\" by the use of innovative man–machine interfaces. By reviewing the pros and cons of manual drawings from the fields of engineering design, graphic design, and art education, future prospects of the use of manual drawings are shown. Examining historical changes in manual drawing can help in understanding current transformations. The arguments presented can contribute to the development of a new framework for the use of this classic technique in design.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46193554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, I will argue that interesting points of relevance between Zhuangzi's comments on mei and contemporary theories of beauty can be found and that an intercultural interpretation of mei and the beautiful can shed light on aspects of both traditional Chinese aesthetics and contemporary Western aesthetics by placing the two in conversation with one another. Zhuangzi seems to support neither relativism nor universalism in his understanding of beauty, though he touches on both relativist and universalist ideas. I argue there are certain superficial similarities between Zhuangzi's aesthetics and positive aesthetics. But, on a deeper level, Zhuangzi advocates a form of negative aesthetics that is not dissimilar from those already prominent in contemporary Continental aesthetics, such as Christoph Menke, Gernot Böhme, and François Jullien. In this way, I highlight points for dialogue between Zhuangzi's theory of beauty and contemporary discourse, as well as the ramifications of these ideas for thinking about the future of aesthetic education.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47803233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though Shakespeare almost entirely borrowed the material of his Romeo and Juliet from literary sources, the play represents an original writing towering above all its \"prototypes.\" The newness manifests itself, first and foremost, in the guiding idea that makes the play at once a hymn to young love and a lament for its doom in the \"down-to-earth\" world of maturity. Originality consists in adjusting the material obtained to the author's own intent, rearranging the parts and working up the individual elements, marking out the key link, and building round it another framework that fits with the mission—that for the sake of which a creative work is done. And it is just this junction of the guiding idea with the reconfigured material that constitutes the marrow of originality. In developing the argument, the author exposes Shakespeare's view of love, his recomposition of what has been borrowed from the others' works, revision of the elements, and elicitation of the key link and its adjustment, on one hand, to the guiding idea and, on the other, to the rest of the contents. The ways and techniques Shakespeare used to remake and supplement the material come to light. From the analysis made, the author derives a comprehensive pattern of novelty in literature and—broader—in art.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44488995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is motivated by cases in which consuming horror fosters what theorists of education call \"transformative learning\" in adult students, brought to my attention through teaching a course titled \"Horror Film and Fiction.\" Transformative learning refers to the process by which students' critical consciousness is activated in a way that they examine, question, and revise certain existing perceptions shaped by their experiences. The process is more a shocking and disturbing experience than pleasurable. In this article, I focus on two cases in which two students underwent such a transformation on studying Roman Polanksi's Repulsion (1968) and Tod Browning's Freaks (1932), respectively. In the first case, the student's experience of madness is modified, while, in the second, the student's experience of abnormality is disrupted. To give the transformation in question a philosophical underpinning, I draw on Dewey's concept of \"aesthetic experience\" in Art as Experience, Foucault's concept of \"experience book,\" and O'Leary's approach to the value of fiction developed in his Foucault and Fiction and contend that the works of horror effectuated what O'Leary calls \"transformative experience\" in the students. In the second half of the paper, I extend my account beyond the classroom context by offering a close reading of Robert Bloch's Psycho (1959), with the aim of demonstrating that it has the potential to transform the everyday experience of madness of the American readers in Bloch's times, and probably the experience of normality of the worldwide readers thereafter.","PeriodicalId":45866,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45304478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
