Document Summary
Seminar 5: october 8th structure of feeling. Raymond williams, structures of feeling , marxism and literature, oxford: heinemann (1993): Culture and society are expressed in a habitual past tense. Strongest barrier to recognizing human cultural activity is the conversion of experience into. The making of art is never itself in the past tense, it is always a formative process within a speci c present. The subjective as distinct from the objective; experience from belief; feeling from thought; the immediate from the general; the personal from the social. The undeniable power of two great modern ideological systems the aesthetic and psychological is ironically systematically derived from these sense of instances and process where experience immediate feeling and the subjectivity and personality are newly generalized and assembled. The dead maybe are reduced to xed forms through their serving records. Social forms are often admitted for generalities but debarred, contemptuously from any possible relevance to this immediate and actual signi cance of being.
