Liberatura wobec rekonfiguracji aisthesis
Streszczenie
This article proposes to inspect the phenomenon of liberature from the perspective
of the reconfiguration of aisthesis, as described by Wolfgang Welsch. In the German
researcher’s approach, this consists in the questioning of the primacy of vision in favour
of other senses, and is, first of all, an effect of the dominance of the media. However, in
a broader approach towards the reasons of transformations, aisthesis must be looked for
in phenomena that are summarised in the formula of „new aesthetics”, as proposed by
Arnold Berleant. One of the significant features of this concept is the constant expansion
of the area of art and the appearance of forms that stimulate the audience experience,
requiring the switching on of new sensory receptors. Without a doubt, liberature is one
of those forms of art that require interactivity and a special involvement. Being a unique
example of the co-existence of various types of messages (verbal, iconic and material),
liberature requires a polysensory perception. This, in turn, can be a source of aesthetic
satisfaction, but also a reason for an impoverishment of the aesthetic experience spanning
between aisthesis and anaisthesis.
