The Modelling of Feelings, the Representations of I in Contemporary Fine Art: The Socio-Psychological Aspects

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with self-representation in contemporary culture and visual arts in the sense of social psychology. The expression of emotion is typically managed according to "feeling rules". In fact, we tend to manage our feelings as they become manifest. In managing feeling, we contribute to the creation of it. The feelings are related with the processes of imagination. New ways of artistic imagination and creation originate. What is new in our time is an increasingly prevalent instrumental stance towards our native capacity to play, wittingly and actively, upon a range of feelings for private purpose and the way in which that stance is engineered and administered by large organisations. Impersonal relations are to be seen as if they were personal. Relations based on getting and giving money are to be seen as if they were relations free of money. If I am doing deep acting for an audience from whom I am disconnected, how can I maintain my self-esteem without becoming cynical? It can specify such psychosocial self of artists and contemporary visual strategies as "transmutable emotional system" or "rubber self".
