From an educational perspective, this kind of phenomenon represents
a tantalizing opportunity for deep, transformative learning. To this point,
however, relatively little attention has been given to the role of automatic,
non-conscious processes in situations where significant learning is occur-
ring. Typically, the non-conscious perceptions of interest are reflexive
biases and prejudices. Scholars interested in automaticity could make
important contributions to understanding the nature of compelling
learning experiences if they turned their attention to the kinds of non-
rational perceptions associated with the emergence...

Another domain located, in part, in the realm beyond rationality and
control is the study of learners’ interest. The study of interest has exam-
ined the degree to which learners’ are enjoying an activity or topic, pre-
fer one thing rather than another, and want to continue with an activity
in the near and distant future. Of particular relevance to this essay is the
attention given to the inspired, emergent quality of engaging experi-
ences (Renninger, Hidi, & Krapp, 1992). Their constructs of situational
interest (a characteristic...

Unfortunately, the construct of situational interest often carries a neg-
ative connation and is regularly contrasted with the more desirable dispo-
sitional interest—interest associated with intentional, learner-directed
activity. Situational interest is temporary and superficial, rather than
enduring and substantial. Garner, Gillingham and White’s (1989) work
on how “seductive details” can distract readers from the main point of a
text emphasizes this point. Similarly, Hidi, Baird and Hildyard (1982)
report a negative correlation between the “interestingness” of text infor-
mation and importance of this ...

The analysis of flow and state interest are examples of perspectives where
the individual is not seen as the center and origin of deeply engaging
experience. Despite this shift in focus away from the individual and
toward the environment, scholars in these areas should not be seen as
occupying the same territory in the realm beyond rationality and control
as the behaviorist camp. Instead, this new interactionism finds new
ground by ...

The area of work that is, perhaps, most readily associated with work in the
realm beyond the rationality and control is research on emotions. A num-
ber of broad domains of scholarship can be seen as working to describe
the emotions or feelings experienced in learning situations. Research on
the brain, spurred by advancements in imaging technology, offers tanta-
lizing glimpses into the relationship between emotions, cognition, and
behavior.
Another general domain in the study of emotions focuses on students’
feelings about themselves or their performance. Work in this area
includes investigations of ...

To fully capture the salient qualities of deeply engaging experiences, a
broader palette of emotions is necessary. One kind of emotion is the feel-
ing of understanding in an experience of learning. The term “feeling of
understanding” highlights the vital quality of learning that is implicit,
non-logical, and non-verbal. Examples include the feeling that an indi-
vidual may have for the meaning of a difficult text passage, the symbolic
significance of something in a work of art, the connection between an
abstract idea and a concrete part of one’s world,...

Another salient emotion in moving experiences is the feeling of inspi-
ration. The word “inspired” means, in its etymological sense, to be filled
with breath, spirit, and life. Thus, the emotion of learning at its most
powerful is the feeling of increased vitality as we realize our growing
capacity to perceive and act. This particular quality of experience is
addressed indirectly, at best, in mainstream psychological traditions. For
example, the motivation construct of goals...

Even though most psychological studies of motivated behavior have not
paid much attention to the realm beyond control and rationality, our
everyday lived experience reminds us of its importance. Consider how we
describe, in both everyday and poetic language, our most deeply engag-
ing experiences. We are “swept away” in a passionate relationship. We
“fall” in love as if pulled by an inexorable force. Intense films or books
grip us; great ideas seize us; laughter infects us. As new...

The connection between receptivity and intensely motivated activity is
further established when we appreciate that an arcane definition of “pas-
sion,” from the Latin “pati,” is suffering. Both passion and suffering
mean to experience intensely while being acted upon by the world. It is
to let something happen to oneself and to bear the weight of its conse-
quences. Far from being destructive, passion and suffering are associated
with heightened vitality and renewed life. ...

In his exchange, Shakespeare reminds us that “suffering” in this sense
is vital to the intense experience of being in love. It is interesting to note
that a recurring theme across Shakespeare’s plays is the idea that power-
ful forces beyond our control shape our lives. Whether the mischievous
fairies in “A Midsummer’s Night Dream” or the tension between the
Capulets and Montagues in “Romeo and Juliet,” forces shape the lives of
Shakespeare’s characters and often seem impervious to reason and the
best laid plans. In fact, one ...

Usually, art production is dealt
with by theories of creativity or portraits of the individual artist, while the
viewer’s encounter with art is considered in analyses of aesthetic experience
or explained by reference to empirical data about the mind/brain. This ap-
proach makes it seem as if artist and viewer relate to art in radically different
ways. It may appear reasonable, inasmuch as the viewer’s relationship to art
in comparison to that of the artist is predominantly passive. Yet, seen from
a cognitive point of view, artist and viewer have more in common than what
distinguishes them....

TSC and DST have only recently entered into the general discussion
about the mind and brain, and cannot be regarded as common ground.
Several of the features that make the combination of the two a viable alterna-
tive to connectionism and traditional theories of cognition based in symbol
manipulation so far have not been widely recognised. The initial discussion
of TSC and DST will present some of the elements that together provide a
comprehensive and radically different view of the mind from the received
one, and that might illuminate contemporary aesthetics....

Research on creativity tends to stress the importance of context-free
thought, the content of which is independent of what is present to the
senses of the agent. Indeed, the capacity to disregard what is real and turn
towards the imaginary is essential for creativity. Yet, this does not entail that
creativity in general, as an activity, is independent of the context in which
it occurs (Brinck 1999). Except for explaining what it means to say that
cognition is situated and dynamic, Sections 2 and 3 also will elucidate what
context-independence entails in the case of artistic creativity. ...

By being lumped together with theories that superficially resemble it,
TSC has mistakenly been criticised for reductionism. For instance, theories
that focus on the role of perception for creating and experiencing art tend to
do so at the expense of isolating artist, artwork, and viewer from their social,
ideological, and historical settings (Dengerink Chaplin 2005). Thereby facts
about how the historical context shapes perceptual experience are ignored
that are vital for understanding art in symbolic terms, as a social and cultural
phenomenon. However, in taking a broad perspective on cognition, TSC
repudiates any attempts to account for cognition in isolation...
8/30/2018 2:40:25 AM +00:00
Another kind of reductionism occurs with attempts to reduce percep-
tion to brain processes or neural events (Ramachandran & Hirstein 1999).
Evidently, the brain is necessary for perceptual processing. Yet, according
to TSC, perceptual processes are constructed in real time in the interaction
between agent and environment. As Harth (2004) remarks in discussing
the relation between neurophysiology and art, a theory of artistic expression
must take into account not only the human brain, but also the world at
large. A description of the brain events that occur during artistic creativity
(or aesthetic experience) cannot account for the nature of...

Furthermore, the explanatory scope of TSC sometimes is misunder-
stood as stopping short at the boundaries of the physical body, leaving
embeddedness out of the account. However, the main unit of the analysis
of cognition arguably is the on-going interaction between the embodied
agent and the context of action. An adequate description of bodily-based
experience should begin in the agent’s relationship to the surroundings,
because experience arises from the interaction between agent and context. As
Crowther (1993: 2) observes, the reciprocity of embodied subjectivity and
the world is not only ontological, but also causal and phenomenological. ...

Finally, a few words of caution. Vision is given a prominent position
in aesthetics, often dominating the other senses. The present approach is
similar in this, but it should be stressed that hearing, touch, smell, and even
taste all are implicated in perceptual processing. The vision system in the
brain is linked to the other sensory systems, which permits interaction at
an early processing stage. At a later stage, visual information is integrated
with other kinds of sensory information to produce multimodal perceptual
experiences and mental imagery....

TSC stands for a bottom-up approach to cognition that has its basis in
the claim that the evolution and development of cognition from simple to
more complex processes are continuous (cf. Johnson & Rohrer 2006). The
theory looks for support in the theory of biological evolution, data from
developmental psychology, and analyses of the significance of the body for
abstract thought by philosophers such as Dewey and Merleau-Ponty.
8/30/2018 2:40:25 AM +00:00
In line with this, TSC disagrees with theories that model cognition on
conscious reasoning, as reflecting the ways thought processes are conceptu-
alised in language. Instead, TSC states that cognition is ‘active’ in the sense
that cognitive processes emerge in concrete situations of physical action
and socio-cultural practices. In integrating conation and affect, cognition is
driven by, on the one hand, the agent’s current needs and motivation and,
on the other, the contingent, contextual elements that support immediate
action. Judgments made on-line that do not properly distinguish emotionally
laden evaluations from factual belief provide the motives for action. ...
8/30/2018 2:40:25 AM +00:00
That cognition is situated implies that it is context-dependent. The claim
that cognition is context-dependent is not controversial per se. Context can
influence thought processes in a number of ways, accidentally or systemati-
cally, without in any way being essential to or constitutive of these processes.
However, TSC champions a strong notion of context-dependence, to the
effect that individual cognitive processes and states of the mind involve
entities in the agent’s surroundings essentially and actively (Clancey 1991).
External entities that are recruited by the agent during on-going action will
have a direct casual impact on the agent’s behaviour, and play...

The single coherent form is particularly difficult to describe and assess because of the fluid transitions
between the form elements which sculptor Erik Thommesen [8] have chosen to divide his sculptures in.
First and foremost Thommesen uses theoretical dividing of a form into form elements when balancing
the form into a harmonious whole by scaling and shifting each form element. Other effects such as
rhythm, contrast, and activation of space can be processed in the same way [9]. The theoretical division
of the form sometimes trigger a physical division. The following jointing of the form elements often
involves implementation of...

The initiating problem is unstructured design processes and vague descriptions of the form problems in
the students’ critique of each other's product proposals, and very vague presentations of the product's
aesthetic qualities in their reports. The problem must be seen in relation to the fact that the majority of
the students can express themselves clearly in engineering fields and that design methodology is based
on technical parameters.
Our idea is to obtain a structured design process and better articulation of the form and accentuation of
its aesthetic qualities by encouraging the students to use systematic clarification of the leading feature...
8/30/2018 2:40:25 AM +00:00
The leading feature may be considered as a description model and as a method in formgiving with
demands on documentation and clarification of the methodical approach. Some of the students have
previously completed a project 'Experienced architectural quality' where they were introduces to the
leading feature as a method for selecting a sustaining idea, a structural principle (such as a building
consisting of serial plans of increasing - decreasing patterns) and a content (atelier + primitive housing
expressed by its space program). As a minimum the architectural qualities in that project should be
shown in the solutions and preferably be...
8/30/2018 2:40:25 AM +00:00
The leading features content is very vaguely considered in the reports. Material selection and second
extent configurations (e.g. texture, colour and light) can best identify the answer to question A. For
example, the content is described as follows: “door handle should be made in aluminium and polished
to a glossy smooth surface without texture, to convey the cold, cynical, military-industrial terms”.
The structural principle for the door handle is its function as a tool for twisting and pulling, and for a
computer mouse a resting hand shape. Thus, the door handle form elements are organized along two
axes, which cross...
8/30/2018 2:40:25 AM +00:00
The earlier in the process a student reaches the main idea, the better the structural principle is
challenged. Lessons from the experiment suggest that getting a main idea and utility properties
reconciled is a challenge that encourages students so that they will have a better drive in the process
than students who work from a context adjustment solely. Reflection on the formgiving process was
supported by a theoretical division into form elements. This was also used in discussion of a form’s
weakness and strength with respect to the design specification. Both the leading features and the form
elements were also...

Question D is answered positively, because there is a clear correlation between the ability to manage
the procedure and achieve a clear articulation of forms. By comparison, there were students who tried
formgiving by selected design parameter only and some students who were able to determine the main
impact only.
The answer to which of Baumgarten’s aesthetic considerations were applied involves only the 6
considerations which the students have worked with in connection with the earlier mentioned
evaluations. Consideration number one was given preference in 2009 by exercises in the use of form
elements which involve creation of a model...
8/30/2018 2:40:25 AM +00:00
Whether we get forms with extensive clarity by use of Baumgarten’s aesthetic considerations can not
be answered conclusively on these cases, because much indicate that it has given some vague ideas
when students encounter these considerations during evaluations, but without putting them into real use
in their leading feature or as a guidelines in the design process.
However, to the question: How can designers formulate aesthetic considerations which communicate a
clear message to other professionals? an obvious answer is to make use of Baumgarten’s aesthetic
considerations. ...

There too, the accounts of feminist film culture
produced
in the mid-to-late 70s tended to emphasize a dichotomy between two
concerns of the women's movement and two
types
of film work that
seemed to be at odds with each other: one called for immediate
documentation for
purposes
of
political activism, consciousness-
raising, self-expression
or the search for
positive images of woman;
the other insisted on rigorous, formal work on the medium - or bet-...

It is exactly this shift from denotation to connotation and obtuse meaning, or –
to put it differently – from information to sensorial and affective qualities that is
the topic of this discussion. In the luxury domain in recent years, a certain type
of advertisement has emerged that relies almost exclusively on the evocation
of pure sensations. Only in part do the depicted scenes, characters or objects
lead to these sensations. Rather, the aesthetic features of style – such as depth
of field, diffusion, colour or light – enhance the spectator’s sensorial response.
Most often, these types of...
