Roszak, Piotr, and John Anthony Berry. "Moral Aspects of Imaginative Art in Thomas Aquinas." Religions 12, no. 5 (May 1, 2021): 322. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/rel12050322.

Abstract:

For Thomas Aquinas, the imagination, being one of the “inner senses”, is a doorway to attain true knowledge. In this paper, we first analyze his lexicon in this regard (imaginatio and phantasia). Second, we discuss imagination as the subject matter of the intellectual virtues, which facilitate cognition and judgment. The development of imagination is the foundation of his vision of education not only on the natural but also on the supernatural level. Third, we explore Aquinas’ moral assessment of imaginative art and finally its influence on shaping the character. This influence occurs on two levels: it is assessed from the perspective of charity, justice, prudence and purity, namely to what extent the art serves these values, whereas the second criterion is beauty.

Abstract:

This paper presents a framework for the emergent imagination that arises out of the transitional spaces created in avatar-mediated online space. Through four categories of transitional space identified in artworks created in virtual worlds, the paper argues that, as the virtual remains connected to time, the imagination becomes connected to space. The author’s analysis of the imaginative effects of artworks presented in the two virtual (and physical) gallery exhibitions of the Kritical Works in SL project demonstrates a mode of artistic exploitation of the particular combination of user-generated and avatar-mediated space.

Abstract:

Imagination distinguishes man from all other living things. It is not at all a matter of inheritance. Complex imaginative manipulations are dealt with by use of symbols. Human imagination has a style. Yet, it is the same ability which has led to an inner conflict between individual and modern society. The author advocates that the close inter-relationship of imagination, art and management is unassailable

Abstract:

The author is a self-made artist. Moving forward from the intense frustration which she encountered as a student of art she let her own imagery be her instructor. Her imagery guided her to art forms. Being the spouse of a creative researcher is a very risky state of affairs! Mrs Khatena then tried her process of drawing from imagery rather than drawing serving as a constraint on imagery on her husband. She has since used it as Creative Liberation for college students. Mrs Khatena shows the similarities between writing prose and drawing. She sees Nature as the alphabet of art. Her paper shows the unlimited growth and fulfillment which can come from letting drawing and painting happen.

Full text

Abstract:

The exemplary value of individual moral and political acts provides a unique vantage point for inquiring into the role of the creative imagination in social life. Drawing on Kant’s concept of productive imagination, I argue that an act’s exemplification of a fitting response to a moral or political problem or crisis is comparable to the way that a work of art expresses the ‘thought’ or ‘idea’ to which it gives voice. The exercise of practical reason, or phronesis, is akin to the way that a work augments the practical field of our experiences in this respect. For, like a work of art, the act produces the rule to be followed by means of the example that it sets. Accordingly, I explain how the injunction issuing from the act can be credited to the way that the singular case summons its rule. The singular character of the injunction issuing from the act thus brings to the fore the relation between reflective judgment and this injunction’s normative value. The conjunction of reason, action, and the creative power of imagination offers a critical point of access for interrogating the normative force of claims rooted in individual acts. By setting reason, action, and imagination in the same conceptual framework, I therefore highlight the creative imagination’s subversive role in countering hegemonic systems and habits of thought through promoting the causes of social and political struggles.

Abstract:

This article explores the importance of imagination and art when developing and working with theology, particularly feminist theology. It begins with a short review of selected periods in Christian history that either supported or warned against the use of imagination and art in classical theological development. Feminist theology has had a different history because since its inception, imagination has been central to the formation and exploration of the field. Imagination and art have continued to develop and promote feminist theological worship, and backlash against feminist theology has also focused on these artistic expressions. I propose the term theological imaginizing for the intentional engagement and exploration of imagination and art with theology, and I share insights based on my field research for integrating feminist theology with art in Christian worship today.

Abstract:

Introduction. The article discusses various aspects of imagination and its role in art education. The features of imagination as a cognitive mental process are analyzed, and its connection with emotions is revealed. It is emphasized that the role of imagination in artistic creativity is primarily associated with the emotional saturation of the imagination. Imagination is considered as the most labile cognitive mental process, largely due to the cultural and historical situation. Purpose of the article. Imagination in artistic creativity has various manifestations. First, it is necessary to assess how much imagination is generally involved in the act of artistic creation. This role of imagination depends on artistic traditions, as well as on the General understanding of the nature of creativity among individual artists and art educators. Secondly, the use of various types and separate techniques of imagination is subject to evaluation. Changes in the structure of the imagination also depend on the cultural and historical context. Finally, third, the content that serves as the source material for the creative imagination also changes. In the Postmodern Era, the influence of previously created artistic reality on artistic creativity has significantly increased. Knowledge of these features of the creative imagination is an integral part of art education. Research results. A comprehensive study of the imagination provides a scientifically based construction of the educational process of DAHTiD. Conclusion. The listed aspects of creative imagination and methodological support for the development of imagination on the example of the Children’s Academy of Artistic Creativity and Design are of great importance in art education: on the one hand, their analysis inevitably becomes an important part of educational content, on the other hand, they constantly find real application in everyday practice teacher.

Abstract:

Cet article a pour assise l’idée selon laquelle en revalorisant une certaine forme d’imagination, il est possible de trouver dans l’art moderne et contemporain une source et un refuge pour la spiritualité. Pour ce faire, l’auteur traite de l’autonomisation séculière de l’art au xxe siècle, une sécularisation qui en apparence s’oppose à l’art proprement religieux, mais qui dans ce mouvement de séparation repense et transforme son rapport au religieux et au spirituel, moins qu’il ne l’efface. Il situe ensuite la profondeur d’horizon ouvert par la notion d’imagination et d’imaginal, ce qui permet d’introduire l’idée du mundus imaginalis. Enfin, il rapproche l’art abstrait et l’imaginal pour montrer que l’univers auquel ces deux forces rendent attentif semble mener précisément à un monde qui leur est commun : le monde imaginal.

Abstract:

AbstractFrom the geocentric, closed world model of Antiquity to the wraparound universe models of relativistic cosmology, the parallel history of space representations in science and art illustrates the fundamental rôle of geometric imagination in innovative findings. Through the analysis of works of various artists and scientists like Plato, Dürer, Kepler, Escher, Grisey or the author, it is shown how the process of creation in science and in the arts rests on aesthetical principles such as symmetry, regular polyhedra, laws of harmonic proportion, tessellations, group theory, etc., as well as on beauty, conciseness and an emotional approach of the world.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractIn this article I emphasise the deliberate and reflexive way that Bob Dylan has approached studio recording, sketching the features of a phonographic aesthetic, to highlight a neglected aspect of Dylan's creative practice and to counter the view of Dylan as primarily a ‘performing artist’, one who approaches the studio in a casual manner as a place to cut relatively spontaneous drafts of songs that are later developed on stage. Drawing on Evan Eisenberg's discussion of the ‘art of phonography’ and the way recording radically separates a performance from its contexts of ‘origin’ (allowing recordings to be taken into a private space and subjected to intense, repeated listening), I argue that studio practice, a recording aesthetic and the art of phonography are integral to Dylan's songwriting. The process and practice of songwriting is realised through the act of recording and informed by listening to songs and performances from recordings, regardless of how much time is actually spent in the studio. Exploring how Dylan's phonographic imagination has been shaped by folk, blues and pop sonorities, along with film music, I argue that recording should be integrated into discussions of Dylan's art, alongside the attention devoted to lyrics, performance and biography.

Abstract:

Activist and political art works, particularly feminist ones, are frequently either dis-missed for their illegitimate combination of the aesthetic and the political, or embraced as chiefly political works. Flawed conceptions of politics and the imagination are responsible for that dismissal. An understanding of the imagination is developed that allows us to see how political work and political explorations may inform the artistic imagination.

Full text

Abstract:

This essay introduces and examines aspects of the theological aesthetics of contemporary Canadian artist, Michael D. O’Brien (1948–). It also considers how his philosophy of the arts informs understandings of the Catholic imagination. In so doing, it focuses on his view that prayer is the primary source of imaginative expression, allowing the artist to operate from a position of humble receptivity to the transcendent. O’Brien studies is a nascent field, owing much of its development in recent years to the pioneering work of Clemens Cavallin. Apart from Cavallin, few scholars have focused on O’Brien’s extensive collection of paintings (principally because the first catalogue of his art was only published in 2019). Instead, they have worked on his prodigious output of novels and essays. In prioritising O’Brien’s paintings, this study will assess the relationship between his theological reflections on the Catholic imagination and art practice. By focusing on the interface between theory and practice in O’Brien’s art, this article shows that conversations about the philosophy of the Catholic imagination benefit from attending to the inner standing points of contemporary artists who see in the arts a place where faith and praxis meet. In certain instances, I will include images of O’Brien’s devotional art to further illustrate his contemplative, Christ-centred approach to aesthetics. Overall, this study offers new directions in O’Brien studies and scholarship on the philosophy of the Catholic imagination.

Abstract:

AbstractThis essay presents a psychological approach to understanding the creative functioning of imagination in art and religion. This approach drawn from psychoanalytic object relations theory further illuminates how the classics of art and theology engage the imagination and how distortions of the products of the creative imagination occur. Discussion of a particular innovative theme found in an artwork and related theological reflection in early Christianity exemplifies how both art and theology guide the religious imagination. Finally, various influences on the formation of personal God-imagery are assessed in the light of a case illustration, and the ongoing need for art and theology as tutors to the religious imagination is underscored.

AbstractCreative imagination is a psychic process of creating a new original image, idea or art work based on the acquired knowledge, skills, and abilities as well as on the experience of creative activity.The best of all primary school learners’ creative imagination develops at the lessons of visual art, aimed at teaching them to understand what is beautiful in art, as well as through their being involved in the creative process and creating art works themselves.This paper provides the characterization of the psychological process of imagination, and deals with the importance and dynamics of the development of primary school learners’ creative imagination in lessons of visual art when depicting a portrait, and it also looks at a visual art teacher’s role in organizing the educational process of developing learners’ creative imagination in a sustainable education process.

Abstract:

The article considers the problem of preparing students of the faculties of arts at pedagogical universities to develop the artistic and imaginative thinking of adolescents. The significance of the development of musical thinking is highlighted: conceptual, logical, emotional-figurative, practical, artistic, eidetic, etc. Artistic-figurative thinking allows you to creatively combine high intelligence with a developed sensual sphere, helps it to evoke bright images and associations in the audience’s listeners music, based on self-experienced experiences. Artistic and imaginative thinking allows you to creatively combine high intelligence with a developed sensual sphere, helping to arouse bright images and associations in the audience of listeners in the process of full-fledged perception of music, based on independently experienced impressions. The article presents several types of imaginative phenomena, and spam: images of perception, imagination, afterimage and eidetic image. In psychological and pedagogical science, there are several types of figurative phenomena, among them: images of perception, imagination, after image and eidetic image. Images of perception – this reflection in the ideal of an external object, which acts on the organs of human senses. Images of imagination – are fictitious, presented in the imagination, but they do not have analogues in reality, and therefore they have never been perceived by sensory organs before. Aidetic imagination is the ability of an individual to see the image of an object, despite its actual absence. At the same time, the thinking image is an accurate reflection of reality, rather than a reconstruction using memory skills. Forward image – a modified, involuntary perception of the ghostly object, which was recently considered in the presence of a strictly immobile view. Eidetic image – a clear, detailed, complete representation of the object, for some time after the termination of its consideration; is different from the image of independence from eye movements and stability over time. The personality of the artistic and musical activity emphasizes the value of the eidetic image, which is characterized by subjective ideas about the object (or a composition of objects) for a certain time after the cessation of current perception, which has clarity and detail. Eidetic images are at an intermediate stage between sensory perception and imagination. It is noted that the specificity of the musical training of future music teachers is characterized by mastery of the basic professional performing skills, a detailed understanding of all the expressive means of music that allow creating a holistic musical and artistic image and bring it to the students.

Abstract I argue for the unity of imagination in two prima facie diverse contexts: experiences of beauty and achievements of understanding. I develop my argument in three steps. First, I begin by describing a type of aesthetic experience that is grounded in a set of imaginative activities on the part of the person having the experience. Second, I argue that the same set of imaginative activities that grounds this type of aesthetic experience also contributes to achievements of understanding. Third, I show that my unified account of imagination has important implications: it sheds light on two puzzling phenomena, the aesthetic value of science and the cognitive value of art.

Abstract:

When we inquire into the nature of works of art we can see at a glance that there is a good deal of evidence against aesthetic idealism, the view that artworks are, in the final analysis, imaginary objects in the minds of their creators. We believe, for instance, that the National Gallery not only contingently but in some sense necessarily weighs more than merely the sum of the empty building, the people in it, and the assorted fixtures. This sum must also include the weight of canvases, the oils on them, carved stone and marble, and so on, all of which add up to substantially more than nothing, which is at least the approximate weight of imaginary things. We know that it takes considerably more than a verbal utterance or acoustical blast to transport an artwork, and we also know that a visit to the gallery is not going to amount to an afternoon spent with wax figures of unicorns, flying horses, present and bald kings of France or, for that matter, talking teapots. In short, intuition protests against the idealist theory that if works of art are imaginary objects, they cannot be the things we go to see in the gallery; and if they are imaginary objects then, like a waxen Peter Pan, they are surely not art. Mellon and Meinong simply have different kinds of collections.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this essay, the relation between art and religion is explored using the concepts experience and imagination as understood by the American philosopher John Dewey. In Dewey’s view, experience involves both the experiencer and the experienced: it is a phenomenon of the in-between. When we are really touched by what we meet in interacting with our physical and social surroundings, experience acquires an aesthetic quality that opens us to the value and the potential of what we perceive. We can see the factual in light of the possible, thus enriching it with new layers of meaning. We experience this as resonance between us and the world. It is the work of the imagination. Due to their imaginative capacity, humans can aspire to a ‘good life’. This aspiration is discussed in terms of invitation and response. Can we experience ourselves as being invited to respond to this unruly world with attachment and care? Here art and religion come into play. Art is understood as the domain of the possible: it explores the world behind or beyond what we usually accept as fact. An aesthetic experience acquires religious quality when it evokes in us an ideal that guides our sense of self and world, stimulating us to realize our ideals in daily actions. If inspired by imagination, art and religion may evoke intense experiences of resonance and invite us to new ways of connecting and transformative action. This is explored with the help of a hermeneutical circle, a ‘cycle of imagination’.

Full text

Abstract:

This article explores extremity in performance art from the perspective of an insider. The article contributes with ethnographic insights on liminality and lived experience in performance art, which is still an unexplored field of anthropological study. It investigates how the Copenhagen-based performance group called Sisters Hope intentionally evoke examples of (and for) a future Sensuous Society. It argues that framing is key to what Sisters Hope examples evoke and whether they ‘work’ as intended; as transformative counterparts to ‘the outside world’. While extremity may take on the appearance of shocking contrasts, it is also emphasized as a matter of blurry boundaries in the selected performance art examples. In this context, extremity is cast as radical risk and potentiality that shake or transform experienced reality. The paper argues that Sisters Hope participants navigate in what if modes where sensations in the present and hopes for the future overlap in utopian performatives here and now. Through engagement with performance art examples over time, pretend play can transform into experienced authenticity, and this may eventually reverse experiences of what is ordinary and extreme for the immersed participant. The paper ends with a contemplation on whether the transformative impact of performance art examples is limited by societal fear of the unknown.

Abstract:

Gezi Uprising was a wave of popular protests and horizontal mobilizations that emerged at the urban center of Istanbul against the destruction of a public park at the end of May 2013 and then quickly spread across the country. Gezi Uprising was marked by a revolutionary visual strategy of commoning images and repurposing them and this helped connect many protesting neighborhoods and locations, and their specific grievances. Along this synchronic imagination of the protest, the circulation of images also fostered a diachronic imagination that connected past struggles and experiences with the current ones, creating a sense of temporal connections of experiences of this newly imagined community. The photocollages of graphic designer and artist Füsun Turcan Elmasoğlu illustrates the mode through which the heightened diachronic imagination was fostered by the collective creativity during the uprising. Elmasoğlu created collages by bringing images that belong to the same place but 38 years apart; images from the large Labor Day demonstration at Taksim Square in 1977, “the Bloody May 1” together with current images of the square. Keywords: Gezi Park, protest, radical imagination, social movements, visual culture

Abstract:

This article provides a genealogical critique of the history and modernity of dance. In doing so it establishes the political importance of dance as an art not principally of the body and its biopolitical capacities for movement, but of images and imagination. It traces the development of dance as an art of imagination, lost and buried in the works of Domenico da Piacenza, Jean-Georges Noverre, and Loïe Fuller, as well as its counter-movement expressed in the work of Rudolf Laban. It also locates contemporary dance within this political conflict by exploring new works, especially those of Ivana Müller, which call upon beholders to use their imaginations through the evocation of histories and memories. Such works can be understood to be deeply political, it will argue, because they work to transform society by creating time for a belief in the impossible. At its best, dance does not simply incite bodies to move but suspends movement, transforming the very image of what a body is capable of. These aims and practices of dance speak to contemporary concerns within political practice, theory, and philosophy for a reawakening of political imagination in times of crisis and neoliberal hegemony.

Abstract:

The borderline between imagination and real experience is a central problem of Piotr Mitzner’s book Jak znalazł. Imagination proves to be remedy for the disintegrated reality. Mitzner’s questions about the essence of art suggest that, in his view, imagination broadens scope of experience and experience furnishes a basis for true art. This paradox is a signifi cant element of Mitzner’s narration.
