"Erotics of art" of Susan Sontag is in order to oppose destructive behaviors of explaining potential meanings of art works, to abandon the way of treatment to art works that making a clear distinction between content and form. In stead, Sontag regard "style" as the noumenon of art. But the ideal of "against interpretation" is impossible. The essence of Descriptive Criticisms of Susan Sontag is for the work on which the role of mechanisms. Not so much "Against Interpretation", but rather that Susan Sontag had been aware that criticisms should not just aim at themes or characters in texts."Erotics of art" asks for audiences staring into works, suspending their independent factors which are nothing to do with aesthetic, to become a purely aesthetic subject. For fully mobilizing various senses of the body in the aesthetic process, aesthetic subject should thoroughly put their body-heart into art works, spare more effort to listen, to see, and to experience."Erotics of art" aims to activate dull sensibility of human beings, to cultivate a new bodily sensibility. The so-called "new sensibility" is unrelated to politics, and its essence is to awaken the unconscious, to cultivate the ability of people to freely choose. Retaining the negativity in ones heart means to avoid being tamed by the system or a certain ideology. For this reason,"new sensibility" is not non-political.
