Artystyczne transmisje afektu

Abstract

The article presents the forms of using affect in artistic education. Experiences of exciting encounters with places where important performances were made, where great artists and poets created their work, are indicated as nodal points for the induction of affective attitudes, transferred to creative activities. Using as an example a meeting with a key place for the rise of Umarła klasa (the Dead Class) by Tadeusz Kantor, I demonstrate the driving force of affect. Then, I point to the team nature of experiencing creative emotions. The dynamics of group interaction of emotions can be seen in the Literary Club of MOK in Olkusz. Poetry and prose read aloud and staged properly make it possible to share experiences, create an affective space of encounter, serve to get over personal traumas and set new life goals.
