Subject(s): Philosophy, Political Philosophy, Social Philosophy
Published by: Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego
Keywords: aesthetic experience; modernity; art; culture
Summary/Abstract: The authors propose an interpretation of the aesthetic experience – presented in categories of dispersion and integration – as representative of the more generally understood experience of modernity. They show how one of the fundamental concepts of aesthetics can be used as a key to understanding the transformations of modern and contemporary culture. The authors deal with issues of the genealogy, status and character of the modern experience, they portray numerous aspects of the aesthetic experience, with a focus on highlighting the tension between integration and dispersion. They also present the artistic elements of the aesthetic experience, oscillating between the two categories.

Doświadczenie estetyczne a doświadczenie filozoficzne
(Aesthetic experience and philosophical experience)
- Author(s):Marcin Poręba
- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Philosophy
- Page Range:27-43
- No. of Pages:17
- Keywords:aesthetics; concepts; experience; I. Kant; innovation
- Summary/Abstract:Referring to the philosophy of I. Kant, the author analyses the idea of experience as a cognitive situation where some beliefs are changed under the influence of the events in the outer or the inner environment. At the same time he attempts to show that human experience – related to the openness, the innovation and the conceptual variability – exceeds Kant’s conceptual framework. Two types of experience are also depicted – an aesthetic one and a philosophical one – that show the limits of human concepts and in this sense make the essence of experience as such the subject of experiencing.

Brytyjski empiryzm, James i czyste doświadczenie
(British empiricism, James and the pure experience)
- Author(s):Adam Grzeliński
- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Philosophy
- Page Range:45-64
- No. of Pages:20
- Keywords:G. Berkeley; experience; D. Hume; J. Locke; W. James; radical epiricism
- Summary/Abstract:The article confronts the concept of the experience developed by the British empiricists and the concept of W. James which he himself considers as radicalization of the previous one. This comparison allows to follow the emerging of Hume’s skeptical attitude and enables an interpretation of James’ concept that assumed existence of the pure experience and possibility of drawing all the other concepts from it. In fact already in the thought of Locke we can find a concept similar to James’ idea of pure experience, which was developed on the psychological basis and devoid of the metaphysical ground. However, in case of both philosophers it remains only a methodological postulate accepted due to the practical reasons.

Komunikacja czy kontemplacja? Dwie odpowiedzi na tragikomiczną kondycję nowoczesności
(Communication or contemplation? Two answers for the tragicomic condition of modernity)
- Author(s):Jakub Kloc-Konkołowicz
- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Philosophy
- Page Range:65-84
- No. of Pages:20
- Keywords:comic quality; communication; contemplation; modernity; tragedy
- Summary/Abstract:The essay attempts to explain the Hegel’s metaphor of modernity as a tragicomedy. Understanding of aesthetic categories of tragedy and comic quality by Hegel is explained. Then the views of J. Habermas and W. Benjamin are presented as two types of answer for the “tragicomic” condition of modernity suggested by Hegel. Both views try to save consensual “objectivism” of experience, defining the condition of a modern subject as a conflict between the possibilities of tragic sublimity and comic agreement.

- Page Range:85-113
- No. of Pages:29
- Keywords:image of the world; operational knowledge; procedural ontology; theoretical knowledge; vision of the world
- Summary/Abstract:The articles attempts to depict ontology of the procedural knowledge that expresses a new vision of the postmodern world. The author declares that nowadays the rationality in making decisions by a subject is limited to adopting the conformist attitude towards the behavioral regulations imposed on him or her. Accordingly the areas of freedom for a subject shrink. In such situation philosophy can be a useful field of reflection insofar as it offers a postmodern vision of the world taking into consideration the sensibility of a subject which is shaped by postmodern practices.

- Keywords:community; heterotopia; M. Maffesoli; phantasm; sensual reason; social imagination
- Summary/Abstract:The articled is aimed at the analysis of the theory of social reality developed by Michel Maffesoli. It seems especially interesting in the perspective of the social imagination of the late modernity. Maffesoli combines a peculiar form of rationality with affectivity, corporeality with the new forms of spirituality, essence with guise, feeling of community with dispersion, identity with strangeness. His vision of culture is affected by the extreme axiological relativism, as well as by the glary one-sided attitude in the assessment of the imaginative processes that constitute the social sphere.

- No. of Pages:13
- Keywords:aesthetic experience; landscape; multisensuality; topografhical experience
- Summary/Abstract:The article is aimed at the analysis of the experience of being-in-the-landscape and at pointing out the difference between the aesthetic landscape (defined by its visual elements) and the cultural landscape (whose sense depends on the level of human settling in). The author shows that being-in-the-landscape first of all amounts to a sensual perception composed of the topographical and the sensorial experience that result in cultural shaping and transmuting of physical qualities of the landscape by humans.

Neutrum. Polimorficzna przestrzeń współczesnych praktyk interpretacyjnych

- Author(s):Anna Wolińska
- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Philosophy
- Page Range:157-166
- No. of Pages:10
- Keywords:binarism; interpretation; neutrum; polymorphic field; „suspension” of sense
- Summary/Abstract:Starting point for the article is the category of neutrum used by R. Barthes in his polemics with the semiological assumptions revealing games, in which the language participates as power and force. Neutrum is a desire to refuse fighting; it is “suspension” and neutralization of the conflict, avoiding the paradigm that forces to choose between “something” and “something different”. As a result the meaning is “liberated” by creating a “polymorphic area”, where there is no place for the direct conflict between the binary oppositions.

- Page Range:167-191
- No. of Pages:25
- Keywords:W. Benjamin; migrant literature; poetics; Y. Tawada; weak identity
- Summary/Abstract:The article is devoted to the poetological concept of Yoko Tawada, a Japanese author writing in German. In this concept the literature is treated as a magic area, not as a mimetic one. Characteristic is also abandonment of the unambiguous evaluations and of determining the identities towards their “liquefaction”. The process of weakening the identities takes place under the sign of mutual illumination of the languages: German and Japanese. Works of Tawada are presented in the context of the “migrant” literature that fosters aesthetic experience of the language.

- Keywords:T. Adorno; aesthetic experience; dispersion; new music; shock
- Summary/Abstract:The author presents the analysis of the concept of shock as an aesthetic category used by T. Adorno in the context of reception of the new music. Referring to Philosophy of the New Music and to Aesthetic Theory the author defines several ways of description and understanding of the shock that can be found in Adorno’s works. At the same time, following the philosopher’s way of thinking, she asks herself if the shock mentioned by Adorno is generally negative, or maybe he can see a kind of rescue in this violent reaction to the new music.

- Page Range:215-228
- No. of Pages:14
- Keywords:aesthetic experience; late modernity; shock
- Summary/Abstract:The texts attempts to present shortly the assumptions of the wider philosophical project where the main role is played by the peculiar way of “atomised” aesthetic sensual experience (e.g. of sound, colour, corporeality). The experience is seen as a repeatable, reflective exercise that gets the chance to teach how to adapt the “shock of the late modernity” i.e. the shock caused by the conditions of life in the present which is poorly integrated, highly changeable and deprived of the stable ontological basis.

- Author(s):Katarzyna Weichert
- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Philosophy
- Page Range:229-246
- No. of Pages:18
- Keywords:aesthetic idea; imagination; sublime; symbol
- Summary/Abstract:The symbolic experience of the world in the aesthetics of Kant appears along with the sublime and the aesthetic idea. It requires a modification in perceiving of reality, one that moves from subordinating the variety to the concepts that produce the knowable nature to transforming that variety into a symbol of something that exceeds the sensual realm. The article analyses this process under the condition of neutralization, i.e. depreciation of the cognitive forms, at the decline of imagination and within the dynamics of rich sensual evidence.

- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Philosophy
- Page Range:249-270
- No. of Pages:22
- Keywords:curatorial turn; dialogical aesthetics; relational aesthetics; social discourses
- Summary/Abstract:The discursive turn is seen as an inclusion of art into the disputes taken in the public sphere. In the article three areas of this issue are discussed: the dialogical aesthetics of G. Kester (who postulates debating on the social matters together with the viewers), the relational aesthetics of N. Bourriaud (where a work of art recodes the discourses and creates the alternative narratives), the curatorial turn (as a result of which the works of art become the media of the curatorial ideas). In all cases contemplative understanding of aesthetic experience is to be replaced by the active referring of art to the social ways of understanding the world.

- Author(s):Piotr Schollenberger
- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Philosophy
- Page Range:271-293
- No. of Pages:23
- Keywords:aesthetic transcendence; J. Derrida; immanence; J.-F. Lyotard; transcendence
- Summary/Abstract:In the text selected opinions are analysed, that allow to reflect on the term of transcendence devoid of the remnants of the classic metaphysical thinking. In reference to the “aesthetic transcendence” of Adorno and to the analyses of Heidegger, the concepts of J.-F. Lyotard and J. Derrida were interpreted, by putting them into the context of asking for the subjectivity shaped through the aesthetic experience. It would be subjectivity that is constituted (as to the source) by the “outside”, by something that seems to be the excess, that goes beyond the intentional project of the consciousness.

- Keywords:Black Mountain College; integration of art; kinetics; performance
- Summary/Abstract:The author is interested in the relations of appropriation that function between such fields of art as the theatre, the visual arts, the installation, the performance. Building on the example of the activity of the Black Mountain College and J. Beuys, she analyses the artistic methods of questioning the category classifications. Referring to the essential character of the artistic element that can take different forms, the author points out the connections between different fields of art. In her opinion, this primordial element is the motion, together with the temporary quality and the light.

- Keywords:architecture; body; Deleuzian model; folding; Vitruvian model
- Summary/Abstract:The text focuses on the body-architecture relation. The author analyzes the Vitruvian model being reborn in the modern architecture and then she presents interpretation of the body drawn from philosophy of G. Deleuze. In the Deleuzian model, that is alternative to the Vitruvian one, the body is recognized as dispersed, reacting vividly to the inner and outer forces. A model for architectural creation becomes natura naturans and a model for a building – human skin or a living organism.

- Keywords:P. Breugel; grammatology; memory; theatre; trace
- Summary/Abstract:The essay deals with the subject of the roots of the aesthetics in the modern theatre. It seems that nowadays the basis for the new alphabet of the stage is a concept of trace, and the syntax of its language is the order corresponding with the rules of the Derridian grammatology. What is a trace? How should it be read? Where are the origins of this concept? What order of senses can be hidden behind the attempt (based on the concept of trace) to construct the art reality? What shape does it take? What new values does the aesthetic experience bring into the understanding of the concept of trace?

Finally he interprets different reactions to this phenomenon from several contemporary artists working in the Internet medium.
