On Representation And Expression In Art Of Mikel Dufrenne

Representation and expression are basic issues in western litarary theory,which are considered as art's essence.Theorists analyse them from the function of art and anthor'intention. Representation and expression are the important issues in Mikel Dufrenne'aesthetics,which run through The Phenomenology of Aesthetics Experience,Mikel Duferenne'magnum opus. Duferenne discuss them on structure of artwork and Aesthetics Experience in reader,yet towards to litarary ontology.Subject is the basic content of Represent,which forms the represented world as aesthetic object by its outspread.Imagination is necessary from presence to Representation in aesthetic object during aesthetic perception. Aesthetic object in possessions of a represented world,which has its special spreading ways and special structure of time and space.The truth in representing certianly is connected with the real,yet,it can not come up to real anyway.Aesthetic object provided with a represented world,which is not self-sufficient and tend towards expression consequentially.As a world , expressional world unifies itself particularly,which submits to a kind of inner agglomeration in effective logic.The expresional world is a world full of sense with depth,which is available only by sympathetic reflection.The trueth in expressional world including:it is the authentic expression of the anthor's word ;it is true to the real ;it expresses a affective a priori.Acorrding to Dufrenne,what aesthetic object expressed is the affective a priori,which has the ontology meaning.Unlike other thoeries, Dufrenne argued that effective quality is the a priori both as Cosmological and Existential,which is one in both Cosmological (artwork) and Existential(subject,including writer and reader).It is the two sides of one thing,which is anterior to the subject and object,and make up of the subject and object.The a priori is a characteristic of being.It's being who uncovered the significiant in virtue of human by the way of art.Both human and the world belongs to being,and unified in being.
