{"product_id":"9783031689703","title":"[eBook] A Rhetoric of Aesthetic Power","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a theory of those formal properties of art that are apt to afford strong aesthetic experience – a project resembling Aristotle’s in the \u003cem\u003ePoetics\u003c\/em\u003e, where he analysed structures in tragedies that condition the “peculiar pleasure” of tragedy. However, the book’s scope cuts across all genres of literature and also includes classical music – the formal art par excellence. Drawing on a wide array of recent theoretical work and empirical evidence, the book closely analyses dozens of examples of both art forms. Besides Aristotle, major inspiration comes from two modern master thinkers: the linguist Roman Jakobson, who defined the “poetic function” of language, and the rhetorician Kenneth Burke, who proposed a “psychological” concept of form. Throughout, the book argues for aesthetic experience as an end in itself and a component of quality of life, one to which everyone should have access – rather than just a means to other ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46920056504498,"sku":"9783031689703","price":2960970.89,"currency_code":"IDR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/5382\/4178\/files\/9783031689703.jpg?v=1766930434","url":"https:\/\/readabook.store\/en-id\/products\/9783031689703","provider":"READABOOK BY ALKEM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
