Note(s) : The aesthetics of desire and surprise: Phenomenology and speculation' covers issues
central to contemporary continental philosophy (desire, expectations, excess, rupture,
transcendence, immanence, surprise). The proposed term desire|surprise captures the
phenomenological-speculative character of the pair not yet and no longer. Non-obvious
parallels between different thinkers are drawn, and the argumentation is organized
around philosophical figures relevant in the sequence desire - excess -pause (rupture,
break) - recuperation (surprise). The works of Levinas, Zizek, Bataille, Blanchot,
Foucault, and Ricoeur are interpreted and positioned according to the proposed template
of desire - excess - pause. The consideration of limit experiences involves authors
fascinated by transgression, and the question of whether excess is immanent or transcendent.
This discussion considers works by Nietzsche, Deleuze, Zizek, and Foucault. The analysis
of surprise and the beginning of recovery after the pause considers works by Fink,
Merleau-Ponty, Nancy, Lyotard, Dufrenne, Bachelard, and Seel. The provocative argument
elaborated in this work is that surprise starts with indifference.0Furthermore, the
argument is that surprise begins where the concept reaches its ending, hence that
the limit of speculative thinking at its ending is the limit of aesthetics at its
beginning. The work of Hegel, Schelling and Jaspers are discussed in order to argue
for the beginning of aesthetics there where knowledge ends. Philosophical thematic
is contextualized via sections on artists such as Duchamp and Mondrian, and on some
films, provoking interest of aestheticians working in art history and cultural studies
departments
