Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Negative Empathy in Literature and the Arts explores how readers and viewers engage cognitively and affectively with ethically troubling artworks across literature, the visual and performing arts, and screen media. Drawing on aesthetics, cultural history and theory, psychology, and neuroscience, Stefano Ercolino and Massimo Fusillo introduce the concept of negative empathy to describe the ambivalent and destabilizing emotional responses elicited by representations of negativity in art. Rather than dismissing empathy as naive, the authors argue for a more nuanced understanding of its darker forms and their cognitive and ethical value. Through a comparative and intermedial approach, the book analyzes case studies from Littells The Kindly Ones to Wilsons Deafman Glance; from Verdis Macbeth and Nitschs Theatre of Orgies and Mysteries to Caravaggios Martyrdom of Saint Matthew, Mapplethorpes X Portfolio, Kiefers The Seven Heavenly Palaces, Hanekes The White Ribbon, and Gilligans Breaking Badoffering a compelling new theory of aesthetic engagement. It introduces the concept of negative empathy to examine how readers and viewers engage emotionally and cognitively with ethically troubling artworks. Through a comparative and intermedial approach, it offers a compelling new theory of aesthetic engagement with representations of negativity in art. This item is printed on demand.
