A great, universal genius... Goethe was often spoken of as the ideal of man.
Creator of "Faust" and "Werther", color theory and discoverer of the premaxillary bone in the human skull, author of works on mineralogy, comparative morphology of plants and animals, physics (optics and acoustics), geology, meteorology, acting. Napoleon reread The Sorrows of Young Werther five times, and this book left an indelible mark on his soul.
Frazer was a great anthropologist, where ethnologists travel the world as hunters and gatherers of cultures. In this regard, in the modern era there is a new attention and sensitivity that becomes possible only as a result of the destruction or extinction of tradition. In other words, one must abandon one's own tradition in order to open up a completely new horizon of memory in which one can inspire in a different way. Colonialism is a very important medium. There is also a close connection between ethnology and colonialism.
Ethnologists are mainly specialists for foreign countries, and this is true today in humanities. They needed to be told how to better govern in these countries, but they wanted news about foreign cultures. It was never selfless, but it also opened up new perspectives for artists. Solbach: There is an aesthetic of destruction and one of form. Taken together, this corresponds to the duplicity of forgetting and remembering in memory. The debris field may be a place of memory, but it also hides the past and helps make it invisible.
Every day you should listen to at least one piece of music, look at good picture and, if possible, read at least some wise saying.
I would not like to be like those whose time during the day is spent complaining about a headache, and at night in drinking wine, which causes this headache.
Most people work most of the time to live, and the little free time they have left is so disturbing to them that they try in every possible way to get rid of it.
Perhaps it is a sign of a crime or the past rather than the past itself. What is the purpose of preserving such places and visions? On the other hand, what cultural-anthropological significance is attributed to a fully developed artistic object? We can go so far as to say that even a finished product still has this quality of form, because then it is the form of that finished product that rises to a principle. Whether it's a urinal or a device that dries bottles, suddenly it's in our purest form.
Again, this step is of great interest to the discourse of memory because, on the one hand, it is the form that completes something and makes it legible, but it is this formula that makes something repeatable, now in a narrower sense, that is formula and reproduction go together. Reproduction meant in the sense of duplication on the one hand and transmission on the other. You have the formula, you can convey it. In this sense, Warburg was a genius who borrowed art and memory in a new way and responded to a formula.
All laws are created by old people and men. Young people and women want exceptions, old people want rules.
Every reasonable thought has already occurred to someone, you just need to try to come to it again.
Anyone who moves away from an idea ends up with only sensations.
It is much easier to find an error than the truth. The error lies on the surface, and you notice it immediately, but the truth is hidden in the depths, and not everyone can find it.
Where he was interested in selling art. On the one hand, within the tradition itself, think of Homeric formulas or topoi, repeated elements in a work of art. On the other hand, also within the limits of individual memory. And this is something that seems very important to me: what happens in the viewer when viewing art or reading? How does the connection with the reader and viewer occur? Here the formulas for production are almost as important as for reception, because they are what make the recognition of works possible.
It's not just the stereotypes we talked about earlier that then need to be broken down again to give an objective point of view. This is foresight, without which we cannot perceive art at all. And underrated, but unbeatable an important part my feeling is the “familiarization effect”. Thus, one could call the process in contrast to the alienation effect: when we see something, we rejoice in what we can recognize. This recognition is very individual and depends entirely on what you know and what you have already seen.
Two things are very difficult to avoid: stupidity - if you isolate yourself in your specialty, and unfoundedness - if you leave it.
Faith is not the beginning, but the end of all wisdom.
The entire history of the church is a mixture of error and violence.
He who has science does not need religion.
You have to build that memory in layers, and what impresses you right away will impress you next time. In other words, in the observer this cultural memory is built through the family, in which the family does not become a stereotype, but rather a real deepening of the impression. And so we pass through museums, stop in front of a painting, or become bored until the next one, if we do not build something in us that attracts us.
It is well known that hearing aids and audio guides at least make people stop for five minutes. They say something to him and suddenly you can stand it for a long time in front of the picture. This is part of what can be called education, which means quite concretely: preliminary experience that can be used to perceive other works of art. This form of cultural education is an effective pedagogy of cultural memory, which is very subjective because everyone can go differently. closing
Big mistake dreaming of yourself more than you should, and valuing yourself less than you are worth.
Inspiration is not a herring that can be pickled for many years.
Man's greatest merit remains, of course, that he determines circumstances as much as possible and allows them to define him as little as possible.
The greatness of art is most clearly manifested in music.
This is for this German matter of culture of memories and history. Is the realm of the past congruent with the realm of ideas? In other words, do we learn everything about a person when we question the past? Where are the limits of the limit, where are the limits of past generations and cultures? Firstly, he is in the Platonic tradition. For Plato, shadows are what is not real, an image of reality, but not reality. Difference, distance is always thought along with it, and the brightness of art is only the second or reduced level of ideas, it makes ideas bright.
In Plato's sense, art as mimesis is fundamentally inferior. Secondly, shadows are something you can throw forward. When the sun is at our back, we find shadows in front of us, and those who see us see our shadow first. The meaning that Shadow refers to what is yet to come is the one used in the New Testament. In other words, the Hebrew Bible, the so-called Old Testament, shows us images in the sense of shadows, which already indicate what is then redeemed as a reality in the New Testament.
In every work of art, great or small, down to the smallest, everything comes down to a concept.
There is something magical about rhythm; he makes us believe that the sublime belongs to us.
Time never stands still, life is constantly evolving, human relations change every fifty years.
Everything that happens to us leaves one mark or another in our lives. Everything is involved in making us who we are.
So you could say it's an "imitation" rather than an imitation of it, but in a sense it's not essential, the stuff is still coming. In both cases we're talking about about this only difference from the actual one. Oscar Wilde wrote a very good essay about this, "The Decay of Lies," the decline of lies that he laments. With lies he ultimately means artistic imagination, and he says that there is nothing higher than this. Art must be decided in the realm in which Plato sets ideas, and he goes so far as to do this platonically by saying that it is the life that follows art.
Expressing an opinion is like moving a pawn in a chess game: the pawn may die, but the game begins and can be won.
High goals, even if unfulfilled, are dearer to us than low goals, even if achieved.
If a rainbow lasts too long, people stop looking at it.
Art gives life to its structure and in this sense is also a forerunner. This does not seem implausible, given how art shapes our perceptual conventions. You can extend this to other areas as well. For example, in a small American town you like a certain corner or even a pub when it reminds you of Hopper. That is, a person is happy when reality approaches the picture. There are many things in terms of our perception, etc. Of course, the word shadow also has other connotations.
I was probably using the term in terms of a dark cloud. The room has darkened, from which it is still impossible to leave - they are still in the shadows and have not yet reached the sun: this corresponds to the marking of the space of movement, which is limited, depressive Occupation. Here we are talking about the past in the so-called post-traumatic era, in which we stand not only as Germans after the Second World War, but also in other parts of the world in a post-colonial situation, several centuries after slavery, etc. These are all the traumas of history that occur at the present moment and come to life again and cast their shadows.
If you lose interest in everything, then you lose your memory.

Life is a duty, even if it were a moment.

There are several shadows and this shadow is protected from it so that it does not lead to depression. Meanwhile, there is criticism of the concept of sleep, which can also be a trap. There is a counter-concept of “resistance” that psychotherapists do. It refers to the ability to mobilize opposing forces from negative and traumatic experiences. Of course there is an impulse in in this case, do not get stuck in the past, but accept the consequences for the future. It is always a matter of implementation with the future in mind, which then brings it out of the shadows.
One of my colleagues in Chicago, Michael Geyer, brought my attention to the last shade of the shadow. He said a shadow is something you will find on an x-ray, such as shadows on the lungs. It is a flaw, a flaw that must be lived with, cannot be eliminated, but then also clings to one and characterizes one who is not easily dealt with. In this regard, this shadow is also part of this picture.

Solbach: It has something in common with the other that you have to learn to deal with. Thanks for the interview. Byat, a total of sixteen, which not only gives an overview historical development, but also provide a systematic breadth of narrative theory. On the one hand, the volume is of documentary interest because it brings together texts that have been widely published. On the other hand, it can and should also be read as a collection that at the same time represents an introduction to narrative theory.
Of course, such an anthology cannot develop the conceptual rigor that a monographic introduction can offer. Readers here important stations, such. The function that such anthologies perform by providing and simply making accessible core texts should not be underestimated, as this is a necessary precondition for the continuation of the discussion, but also for its recovery. In addition, the group also provides an overview, if not perhaps of the entire field, then at least of the broad range of what is known as interpretive theory.

It is not enough to just gain knowledge; I need to find an app for them. It is not enough to just wish; need to do.
So if you want to accurately measure this range, you'll be well served by this collection. The reader can, if he visualizes the range of contributions and also gives even the overview outlines thus obtained. The volume has an excellent preface in which the editor not only addresses the literary importance of narrative theory but also highlights various aspects that involve and focus on individual contributions. It provides a concise and useful summary of the contributions that makes it easier to both orient and place the contributions in context of the discussion.

At the same time, it combines the modernity of narrative theory with the modernity of narrative and storytelling, thereby revealing narrative theory and its subject matter as a moment of literary modernity. Against the horizon of social modernization and differentiation since the century, he also sees more complex descriptive forms that constitute the appeal and subject matter of narrative theory. In addition to literary historical eras, narrative patterns develop, which in turn can be seen as reflecting modified frame conditions.

Man at all times, starting from the primitive communal system, wanted to express his thoughts, desires, and feelings. It was unconscious, but desire remember what is happening around, show others, teach children. The first tools that man began to use were words, sounds, drawings, and facial expressions.
At first, with ordinary charcoal, people painted images of hunting, animals, and people on the walls of the cave. Then, for greater expressiveness, man began to add dyes, animals became colored, fire became red. To apply drawings they used not only walls, but also animal skin, earth, and even their own body. Continuing to explore the world, the man paid attention to the sounds: the knocking on an empty pot, the howling of the wind, the rattling of the fangs of killed animals beating against each other. These sounds began to form melodies that were used when performing rituals and ceremonies.
The desire to express oneself gained various shapes. What could not be expressed in ordinary words found its expression in images, songs, and dances. If initially they were frightening in nature, they gradually began to affect other areas of human life; mating dances, lyrical songs, and theater appeared. Thus, art began to act as an intermediary between man and the world around him.
With the development and spread of man, new cultures and art directions appeared. Nowadays, when self-improvement and self-development play an important role in personal development, art takes various forms: graffiti, installations, art objects, flash mobs and much more.
The current stage of development of art as a way of expression differs from previous ones, first of all, in the availability of education, the emergence various materials and methods for their processing, as well as the possibility of widespread dissemination of the works of their activities via the Internet and other platforms. People are looking for new sources of inspiration, concepts, areas of activity. I have confidence that art will develop, acquiring various new forms, as the framework and conventions inherent in classical art are erased.
Essay on the topic Art as a mediator of what cannot be expressed
Art is a mediator of what cannot be expressed. I think that few people can refute this phrase. Indeed, with the help of art, a person can express what he cannot express by any other means of transmitting information due to his physical abilities or other reasons.
First, art can express a person's ideas if there is censorship in the state. Most a shining example Russian literature of the early 19th century can serve. After all, many poets, among whom was Pushkin, raised problems in the state in their works. Only this had to be done with the help of epithets (hidden comparisons) in order to convey their ideas to readers.
Secondly, art can express a person’s ideas if a person cannot be limited in expressing his thoughts, but does not give up and fight for life for the sake of art and for the sake of the memory of future generations. Examples include John Milton and Claude Monet. John Milton was a 17th century English poet who went blind at the age of 43, but wrote Paradise Lost. Claude Monet is one of the most famous French artists. One day he was diagnosed with cataracts, due to which he could lose the opportunity to create. However, after the operation, due to the characteristics of his body, he began to detect ultraviolet radiation with one eye. Thanks to this, his works became even more original.
In conclusion, I want to say that art for most people is not entertainment, but the meaning of life. What makes them stronger, makes them fight the problems of the past, present and future. Art is their life and true creators like this life.
