Listen "Aristotle, Poetics - Three Distinctions In Mimesis - Sadler's Lectures"
Episode Synopsis
This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, the Poetics, focusing on three key distinctions he brings up early on in the work, which bear upon different kinds of mimetic arts (including tragedy, comedy, epic, other poetry, and musical performances).
The distinction is between the:
Media of the mimetic work (en hois)
Objects (or content) of the mimetic work (ha)
Mode (or how) of the mimetic work (hōs)
The six parts or elements of tragedy fall into this
Diction and Lyric Poetry are the Media
Plot, Character, and Thought are the Objects
Spectacle is the Mode
