RE: MOVIE REVIEW: Medea, Music Lovers and Un Coeur en Hiver as regards Bakhtin’s “Hero and the Author”
In other words, for the creation of the aesthetic value, he says that it is necessary to subside the outward actions to the field of inner senses. He poses this internality as a transgredient point to the field of those deeds and through this transgredient point which would create the artistic value because one is never able to experience the aesthetic value of his/her deeds only from within himself/herself.
This is very interesting, I think I'm going to look into some of his writing. Recommends?
Great interpretation! I'd definitely recommend Art and Answerability for an overall view of Bakhtin's thoughts on art. I love it how what I've read from his texts sometimes pokes me in the middle of a movie and lets me delve deeper into what I watch. Despite the fact that there are a few points I do not agree with him, it's no doubt that he's a very inspirational figure.
The internal life of the artist interests me, as something to apply to literature, and reading and writing personally.
There is Transcendence through art, ssimply on the grounds of the translation of inner-life, inner-witness, self, to an external audience (whether with intent or via subconscious)
Lately I got a book which is a collection of Kafka's hand-drawings. Of course his literary skills and his drawings are of essentially different nature since they're different art styles, but I think it did expanded my horizon about Kafka's creative imagination. Knowing more about writers may lead us to a certain interpretation exclusively and it may pose a risk in terms of relating to the essential richness of the work, but as long as we discuss the pros and cons of knowing more about the writer and be aware of what's going on, I think it definitely expands vision and imagination.
