초록
The sublime is a concept in close relationship with aesthetics. When we meditate about an object, it provokes a wide range of affective sensations in our mind and body. Longinus defines sublime feeling as “the presence of noble passion.” Focusing on the pain and pleasure of the sublime experience in relation to nature’s destructive powers, Burke balances the “terror” with “delight.” Kant clarifies the affectivity of the sublime, tempering Burke’s terror with a strange form of joy. Lacan pursues the excessive and the unbounded by engaging with Freud and Kant, and constructs the human subject in terms of an effect of language in relation to the concept of “sublimation” beyond the Kantian sublime. In the context of sublime and sublimation, I will demonstrate how the sublime and sublimation are represented in “tragic joy” in Yeats’s two poems.
Abstract
The sublime is a concept in close relationship with aesthetics. When we meditate about an object, it provokes a wide range of affective sensations in our mind and body. Longinus defines sublime feeling as “the presence of noble passion.” Focusing on the pain and pleasure of the sublime experience in relation to nature’s destructive powers, Burke balances the “terror” with “delight.” Kant clarifies the affectivity of the sublime, tempering Burke’s terror with a strange form of joy. Lacan pursues the excessive and the unbounded by engaging with Freud and Kant, and constructs the human subject in terms of an effect of language in relation to the concept of “sublimation” beyond the Kantian sublime. In the context of sublime and sublimation, I will demonstrate how the sublime and sublimation are represented in “tragic joy” in Yeats’s two poems.
