''Against Interpretation '' is a collection of essays by Susan Sontag published in 1966. It includes some of Sontag's best-known works, including "On Style," and the eponymous essay "Against Interpretation." In the last, Sontag argues that in the new approach to aesthetics the spiritual importance of art is being replaced by the emphasis on the intellect. Rather than recognizing great creative works as possible sources of energy, she argues, contemporary critics were all too often taking art's transcendental power for granted, and focusing instead on their own intellectually constructed abstractions like "form" and "content." In effect, she wrote, interpretation had become "the intellect's revenge upon art." The essay famously finishes with the words, "in place of a hermeneutics we need an erotics of art". ==Contents== * Against interpretation * On style * The artist as exemplary sufferer * Simone Weil * Camus' ''Notebooks'' * Michel Leiris' ''Manhood'' * The anthropologist as hero * The literary criticism of Georg Lukacs * Sartre's ''Saint Genet'' * Nathalie Sarraute and the novel * Ionesco * Reflections on ''The Deputy'' * The death of tragedy * Going to theater, etc. * Marat/Sade/Artaud * Spiritual style in the films of Robert Bresson * Godard's ''Vivre Sa Vie'' * The imagination of disaster * Jack Smith's ''Flaming Creatures'' * Resnais' ''Muriel'' * A note on novels and films * Piety without content * Psychoanalysis and Norman Brown's ''Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytic Meaning of History'' * Happenings: an art of radical juxtaposition * Notes on "Camp" * One culture and the new sensibility * Afterword: Thirty Years Later 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Against Interpretation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
