Intentionality and the aesthetic will

Einav Katan

pp. 123-130

In "Intentionality and the Aesthetic Will" Katan analyzes the mental instructions in Gaga as guidance of dancers' intentionality towards somatic attention. The chapter discusses the freedom of will in aesthetics and phenomenology. Katan explores the case study of the instruction "be ready to move!" and parallels it to the hermeneutic feature of "readiness to play." The chapter propounds seeing the direction of intentionality into somatic attention as a pragmatic procedure that enables a perceptual freedom.
