THE TRANSCREATION OF THE WORLD BY EXPERIENCE: ESSAY OF THE AESTHETIC EDUCATION

The aim of this paper is to investigate the arts as a process of trans-creation through which artist and connoisseur become co-authors of the meanings emanating from the aesthetic experience. The hypothesis here in question is that works of art operate an aesthetic mediation between the human and the world, whereby the world is meant, understood and expressed. Such process requires an education of our sensitivity that is not the imposition of certain canonical works or pre-established modes of fruition of such works, but the sensitivity practice and understanding of the multiple possibilities of ways of living. From this perspective, life itself becomes a work of art. The theoretical-methodological approach that inspires this paper stems from the Nietzschean perspectivism (NIETZSCHE, 1998; LAROSSA, 2009) and symbolic hermeneutics (RICOEUR, 1969; DURAND, 1997). After serious consideration of such matters it is the authors contention that there is an urgency of a sensitivity education that recognizes the importance of aesthetic experiences for one to become what one is.
