RE: MOVIE REVIEW: Medea, Music Lovers and Un Coeur en Hiver as regards Bakhtin’s “Hero and the Author”
Great interpretation! I'd definitely recommend Art and Answerability for an overall view of Bakhtin's thoughts on art. I love it how what I've read from his texts sometimes pokes me in the middle of a movie and lets me delve deeper into what I watch. Despite the fact that there are a few points I do not agree with him, it's no doubt that he's a very inspirational figure.
The internal life of the artist interests me, as something to apply to literature, and reading and writing personally.
There is Transcendence through art, ssimply on the grounds of the translation of inner-life, inner-witness, self, to an external audience (whether with intent or via subconscious)
Lately I got a book which is a collection of Kafka's hand-drawings. Of course his literary skills and his drawings are of essentially different nature since they're different art styles, but I think it did expanded my horizon about Kafka's creative imagination. Knowing more about writers may lead us to a certain interpretation exclusively and it may pose a risk in terms of relating to the essential richness of the work, but as long as we discuss the pros and cons of knowing more about the writer and be aware of what's going on, I think it definitely expands vision and imagination.
