Abstract: (1367 Views) |
The process of aesthetics is a type of thinking that encompasses various philosophical schools, particularly in the realm of art, from Plato to the present day. It is a historical phenomenon that owes its philosophical significance primarily to Kant. Kant considers beauty as an independent concept, where the pleasure derived from it is inherent to the thing itselfYuriko Saito, a theorist of aesthetics, believes that the aesthetics of everyday life addresses the shortcomings of art-based philosophical aesthetics. Accordingly, aesthetic perspectives and judgments can determine the quality of life, social and cultural ethics, and serve as a necessary means for expressing the evaluation of individuals' everyday life quality. They empower humans to fully enjoy aesthetic experiences through interactions with artifacts, the surrounding environment, and human interactions. Since narrative storytelling contains propositions and capacities that can be evaluated from the perspective of everyday life aesthetics and also possess validity in the real world, this study aims to analyze and expound upon the aesthetics of everyday life based on Saito's perspective in three short stories from the collection "Aashiqyat in the Footnotes" by Mahsa Mohebbali. The research utilizes documentary and qualitative methods, drawing upon analytical library resources. The goal is to answer the question of what the elements of everyday life aesthetics are in these works. The findings of this study in the three short stories demonstrate that the everyday life of individuals and the role of objects, places, etc. are depicted as symbols, in the form of normative escapism and defamiliarization in human interactions, etc. Despite normative escapism and defamiliarization in human interactions, the texts of the stories provide a platform for experiences that ultimately lead to the realization and judgment that beauty, ugliness, and the mundane are genuinely manifested within them.
