  1. Ein Weltzugang im Bild. Für eine transkulturelle Phänomenologie des ästhetuschen Verhaltens.Mathias Obert - 2011 - Allgemeine Zeitschrift für Philosophie 36 (2):125-152.
    The paper investigates how art, instead of providing »insight« into reality, rather opens up an existentially effective access to the world through aesthetic experience. As recent artistic developments engage in unsufficiently understood phenomena of »performativity«, the case of Chinese inkwash painting is brought into this debate as a theoretical case study, in an attempt at transcultural reflection. With the idea of an »aesthetics of transformation«, it is shown how the aesthetic experience of paintings may free the onlooker for his or (...)

  • Abstract Concept Formation in Archaic Chinese Script Forms: Some Humboldtian Perspectives.Kwan 關子尹 Tze-Wan - 2011 - Philosophy East and West 61 (3):409-452.
    Starting from the Humboldtian characterization of Chinese writing as a "script of thoughts," this article makes an attempt to show that notwithstanding the important role played by phonetic elements, the Chinese script also relies on visual-graphical means in its constitution of meaning. In point of structure, Chinese characters are made up predominantly of components that are sensible or even tangible in nature. Out of these sensible components, not only physical objects or empirical states of affairs can be expressed, but also (...)

  • Mimesis and Alterity: A Particular History of the Senses.Michael T. Taussig - 1993
    Mimesis: the idea of imitation. Alterity: the idea of difference, the opposition of Self and Other. In his most accomplished work to date, Michael Taussig explores these complex and often interwoven concepts. Arguing that mimesis is the nature that culture uses to create second nature, he maintains that mimesis - variously experienced in different societies - is not only a faculty but also a history. That history, Taussig writes, is deeply tied to "Euroamerican colonialism, the felt relation of the civilizing (...)

  • Mimesis on the move: Theodor W. Adorno's concept of imitation.Karla L. Schultz - 1990 - New York: P. Lang.
    On pp. 47-51, "Fifth Scenario: The Nazi and His Jew", discusses Adorno's theory of mimesis applied to the phenomenon of Nazi antisemitism. Influenced by Freud's theory, Adorno discussed in "Dialektik der Aufklärung" (1947) the Nazi phobic and distorted image of the Jew. In Adorno's interpretation, the imaginary portrait of the Jew created by the Nazis is in fact their self-portrait, expressing their longing for unlimited power and identification with an imaginary aggressor in order to be themselves the real aggressor.
