Sažetak
U ovom radu moja zalaganja idu u smeru proširenja polje estetike ne samo izvan umetnosti i lepote, već i izvan svakodnevne estetike (ili prozaička) fokusirane na ljudsku osećajnost. To podrazumeva razmatranje senzibiliteta ili aesthesis u svim živim bićima kako bi se razumela beskonačnost bio-estetike. Te je deo ovog izlaganja zoo-estetika. Sve je više dokaza iz dana u dan koji potvrđuju postojanje senzibiliteta životinja, sposobnost da stvaraju, imitiraju, iskuse, izlože i izraze senzibilitet ili estetski ukus u različitim oblicima, te je teže negirati što više pratimo i svedočimo njihovom ponašanju. Štaviše, kako postoje različiti umetnički žanrovi, možemo jednako govoriti o sličnim žanrova u zoo-poetici, i to: a) muzički, b) vizualni (i arhitektonski i dekorativni), c) dramski, d) plesni. Da li su ženke zaslepljene od strane muškog slepog miša ili ptičjom pesmom parenja? Da li paunice osec'aju zadovoljstvo kada ugledaju rep muškog pauna? Kao što Najdžel (Nagel) pita 'kako je biti slepi miš?' Zaista bih volela da znam kako je biti paunica. Kompletno istraživanja objavljeno je u knjizi The indispensable excess of the aesthetics: evolution of sensibility in nature (Neizostavni višak estetike: Evolucija senzibiliteta u prirodi, Lexington 2015).
Abstract
In this paper I argue for the possibility of expanding the field of aesthetics not only beyond art and beauty but also beyond everyday aesthetics (or prosaics) centered in human sensibility. This implies considering sensibility or aesthesis in all live beings to understand the vastness of bio-aesthetics. Part of this query is zoo-aesthetics. We have such growing evidence, enriched day by day, that animals are capable of creating, recreating, imitating, enjoying, exhibiting and expressing sensibility or aesthetic taste in various forms that it is harder to deny the more we record and witness their behavior. Moreover, as there are various artistic genres, we can equally speak of similar genres in zoo-poetics, namely: a) musical b) visual (both architectonic and decorative), c) drama, and d) dance. Are females enamored by the male bat or bird mating song? Do peahens feel pleasure at the sight of a male peacock's tail? As Nagel asked 'what is it like to be a bat?' I would really like to know what it is like to be a peahen. This full inquiry is being published in The indispensable excess of the aesthetics: evolution of sensibility in nature. (Lexington 2015).
