Document Summary
Self alienation is key to theoretical critiques. Dialectic tension between membership and exile from community (willingness to be in exile) Seems that the text is lacking in humanist realization by honi (everything remains about him) Not every pleasurable reward needs to be instant gratification. You don"t have to know the beggar outside to acknowledge the beggar. Communities based on difference, not on sameness. Relationship between work of art and the universe: mimetic (representational: and audience: pragmatic, and artist: expressive, and the work of art itself: structural, formal, objective. Honi tale: hermeneutics of community, hermeneutics of exile (sometimes self-imposed, sometimes imposed by others)
