Image studies as taste studies?
Slavko Kaćunko
Sažetak
The paper discusses some rather well-known, but rarely discussed origins ofthe current “immanentism” and “invitationalism” of the images by rootingthem in the discussion that is itself rooted in the very matter of aesthetics – thematters of taste. The introductory remarks justify briefly the chosen historiographical approach, supported by few first-hand insights into the “momentum” of visual studies one decade ago. In the second chapter, a short paperappeared only in German in 2008, “W.J.T. Mitchell und der iconic turn” vonNorbert Schneider (1945-2019) is recapitulated, in which the impression ofthe implied harmony between “like-minded” scholars – W.J.T. Mitchell andG. Boehm – has been deconstructed in a comparative analysis. Further on,Schneider´s arguments are followed up in the third chapter, where Boehm´sPh.D.-supervisor Max Imdahl and doctorate-supervisor Gadamer (as well astheir predecessors Fiedler, Croce and Vico) are discussed in some depth, withreference to what we have baptized as image-immanentism and the hermeneutic of pictures. In the fourth chapter, we criticize a more recent followerof Gadamer´s position, whose aim was to support Gadamer´s theory of aesthetic value as artistic value with the projected value of the “artistic image”.Paul Crowther´s important point was to substantiate the claim of the artworkbeing a “symbolically significant artifact” and hence the extraordinary character of our experience of art and its value. Although Gadamer’s understanding of representation as an ontological event brings with it a metaphysical,Neoplatonist implication, Crowther turned this implication of point to anontological-existential one. The presented case in point is supposed to provide an argument for deep historiographic connections between the currentimmanentism of images and their roots in the continental thinking traditions.
