On The "World" In Dufrenne’s Theory Of Aesthetic Objects

"Aesthetic object" is an important theoretical issue in the research field of Western aesthetics.Western aesthetics discusses it mainly in the mode of subject and object.Phenomenological aesthetics breaks the traditional aesthetics,which is a split between subject and object,and believes that aesthetic objects should be grasped in the interaction and relationship between subject and object.What the aesthetic object first encounters is the question of what distinction is made with the aesthetic object.The answer to this question by phenomenological aesthetics refers to its thinking mode of distinguishing "object" from "object",that is,the object refers to the activity of consciousness The related item of consciousness relative to the conscious behavior is the object of consciousness,which is a relational and dynamic generation;the object refers to something that exists outside of consciousness,which is a static thing in itself.Based on this,Husserl understood the aesthetic object as an intentional object.Ingarden obeyed the teacher Husserl also defined the aesthetic object as the intention object,and Conrad defined the aesthetic object as the conceptual object.Sartre defines aesthetic objects as imaginary objects.In the same way,the discussion of "aesthetic objects" in the field of phenomenology greatly influenced the later phenomenological aesthetician Dufrenne.In the distinction between aesthetic objects and artistic works,Dufrenne saw that the aesthetic object can neither be an imaginary object nor an conceptual object,but can only be a perceptual object.This perception is Merleau-Ponty’s pure perception,which only aims at the aesthetic object itself.The presentation of the aesthetic object depends on the aesthetic perception,which discovers the inherent authenticity of the aesthetic object itself,fully reveals it in the process of participation,and reveals its own authenticity in perception.Therefore,Dufrenne believes that the aesthetic object is a perceptual object.This regulation re-awakens our thinking about the aesthetic object and the world,as well as the exploration of the aesthetic object’s own world it reveals.Ontheonehand,Dufrenne followed the path and basic theme of phenomenological aesthetics,returning to the root or immediate thing,that is,returning to the most primitive relationship between man and the world to think about the aesthetic object and the world;on the other hand,he It has developed on the basis of the predecessors.In his view,returning to the root is not a return to Husserl’s transcendental consciousness,nor is it not Sartre’s non-reflective empirical consciousness field,but a return to undismembered scientific reason.The world of life without distinction between subject and object.Therefore,he chose to explore the aesthetic object and the world on the basis of the relationship between man and the world.Dufrenne understands "world" as "context" and "background".Aesthetic objects are presented in space and time.Aesthetic objects reside in space and are independent of space.Aesthetic objects are both limited by time and separated from space.Time,and thus the aesthetic object shows the uniqueness of its own world.The world of aesthetic objects is the unity of the world of representation and representation,representation is the possibility of representation,and representation is the reality of representation.Only on the basis of the unity of the two can aesthetic objects become the real world of meaning.In the end,we find that the basis for the unification of the world of aesthetic objects lies not only in the "meaning" understood in the field of phenomenology,but more importantly,because the aesthetic objects themselves exist as an intentionality and are presented.In the world.In this way,Dufrenne clarified the aesthetic object and the world from the process of the "encounter" between man and the world,and described the world of the aesthetic object to us.Through its world,people see the world between man and the world,between man and man,and between man and the world.The true relationship between the objects created by oneself.In this world,the subjectivity of the world and the cosmopolitanity of the subject are inseparably kinked together,and the aesthetic object therefore exists in the world and opens up a new world.Dufrenne’s revealing of the "world" of aesthetic objects not only plays a very important role in the phenomenological theoretical framework of aesthetic experience,but also provides a way for phenomenological aesthetics to truly transcend the dualistic standpoint of traditional aesthetics to explore aesthetic objects.This new theoretical perspective has also triggered some new aesthetic thinking to a certain extent.
