peer agreement (net): +1aesthetic values Explanation: My take here HTH -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-07-16 22:00:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could even translate 'poetica' as 'artistic creed' if it is both individual or shared among a recognised group of artists, otherwise in the critical parlance expressions like 'stylistic modes' or even 'discursive practices' are commonly used to cover the term 'poetica'. Anyway, I don't quite understand why you are persuaded that poetica is NOT poetics... See here ! http://www.answers.com/topic/poetics |

poetics Explanation: I think you can safely apply the terminology of literary criticism to photography, i generally do as do many, many other writers in English. See links: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="poetics of photography... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=poetics photography&aq=... Aristotle also extended the use of the term poetry to include the arts in general. http://www.authorama.com/the-poetics-2.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2009-07-21 07:45:30 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Its a moot question, as to whether they fall into the false friends category. I would go more on useage in the two languages which seems to be fairly evenly aligned, rather than dictionary definitions, which are themselves based on useage and only as good as the lexicographers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2009-07-21 09:14:00 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- I feel you are splitting hairs so we will probably have to agree to disagree. However Devoto Oli gives a different definition of poetica. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2009-07-22 15:06:27 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- L'insieme dei problemi e dei concetti relativi alla poesia, sia in quanto termini di scelta individuali sia in quanto richiami ad esperienze letteriarie ed esperienze estetiche precedenti - concr. Trattato in cui sono esposto le leggi del poetare. There you go, transcribed from the hardcopy. Short and to the point. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2009-07-22 18:17:04 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Sarah you stated: "This refers **not to poetry or poetics** but to the 2nd definition in Zingarelli: insieme delle concezioni e idealita' artistiche proprie di uno scrittore, un movimento, un'epoca." As I read it apart from the treatise part, the Devoto entry has only one definition which is all about poetry. and nothing about "concezioni e idealita' artistiche proprie di uno scrittore, un movimento, un'epoca" except those relating to poetry. As I said we will have to agree to differ. Of course it is anybody's guess who will have the last word, you must be as stubborn as I am :-). |
