He argues that while Materialist theory can intensify our awareness of how art can foreground sensual dimensions of experience, it does not yet serve as an adequate description of much of what we experience as mental activity--especially in the domain of art, which depends on active imaginations and constructive energies for which no Materialist theory is yet adequate. He carefully shows how constructive imaginations operate in a range of modernist poetry that is especially attentive to the mind's powers because it provides alternatives to Impressionist sensibilities that thrive on Materialist modes of attention. These modernists turned to Hegel's idea of the 'inner sensousness,' stressing how a work's very construction can provide different levels of sensuousness inseparable from the work of self-consciousness. Altieri's innovative scholarship invites both viewers and readers to participate in modes of experience that cannot be explained by any Materialist emphasis on perceptive faculties. The result is a fascinating discussion that draws on Picasso, Pound, Moore, Eliot, Stevens, Ashbery, and Geoffry O'Brien while also engaging theories of consciousness developed in neuroscience. Scholars and students will find this critical perspective on the power of Modernist poetry and art essential to contemporary thought and the study of criticism"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 271-276) and index. 650 0 $a Criticism. 650 0 $a Modernism (Art) $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Materialism in art $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Constructivism (Art) $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Poetry, Modern $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Poetry, Modern $x Theory, etc. $x Theory, etc. 650 0 $a Poets, American. 650 7 $a Constructivism (Art) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00876178 650 7 $a Criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883735 650 7 $a Materialism in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01903868 650 7 $a Modernism (Art) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024442 650 7 $a Poetry, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067769 650 7 $a Poets, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067794 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Recencies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013949.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA292EDAEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
