Za hranice fikčního světa: od ozvláštnění k estetické zkušenosti // Beyond a fictional world: From defamiliarization to aesthetic experience
Abstract
The study turns back to Shklovkyʼs term defamiliarization and Jakobsonʼs poetic function to show that, despite they are still stimulating aesthetic conceptions exposing the social role of art, they cannot wholly explain what happens during reading a work of art. Theories of fictional worlds can clarify more, showing that the semantic energy rising from defamiliarization makes us to create an autonomous fictional world. However, the semantic energy of art goes also beyond such a world — it becomes a part of our experience resonating in our future life. A few conceptions of aesthetic experience that try to explain such a resonance are discussed in the last part of the study
