Title: | Imagination and Virtuality. On Susanne Langer’s Theory of Artistic Forms | Authors: | Braga, Joaquim | Keywords: | Langer; virtuality; Art; Imagination | Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | Springer | Citation: | Braga, Joaquim, “Imagination and Virtuality. On Susanne Langer’s theory of artistic forms”, In: Braga, Joaquim (Ed.), Conceiving Virtuality: From Art to Technology, New York, Springer Verlag, 2019 | Series/Report no.: | Numanities - Arts and Humanities in Progress; | Serial title, monograph or event: | Conceiving Virtuality: From Art To Technology | Place of publication or event: | New York | Abstract: | This text attempts to analyze and inquire the relationship between virtuality and imagination in Susanne Langer’s art theory. One of my main purposes is to know whether the “actual-virtual” binomial can be applied, without any theoretical concern, to artistic objects and art in general. Since, in Langer, the symbol theory is directly connected with a theory of perception, it remains to scrutinize how aesthetic experiences mediated by the several artistic modalities imply the transformation of works of art into virtual objects. That such a transformation carries the effective power of imagination is a capital condition inherent to all artistic symbolization processes. That these latter, however, do not always express a linear dynamic of the “actual-virtual” binomial is, as will be seen, a critical point of view that must be applied to the aesthetic formulations and concepts developed by Langer. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/89068 | ISBN: | 978-3-030-24750-8 978-3-030-24751-5 |
