Aesthetics of defamiliarization in Hedeigger, Duchamp, and Ponge
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Victor Shklovsky's of ostranenie, estrangment or defamiliarization, may be useful for understanding a broad range of artistic strategies in twentieth century art and aesthetics. Heidegger's theory of art, when read in light of his existential ontology in Being and Time, which is also a social theory, can be understood as providing a philosophical account of defamiliarization as having significance for both an ethics and an aesthetics. Duchamp's "readymades, " with their interrogation of the idea of art and the institutions and practices to which it belongs, derive their critical and experiential force from their effectiveness in rendering unfamiliar or strange a quotidian object that is industrially fabricated; in Duchamp's case, this raises a multiplicity of questions.
