Here, I have space only to thank those whose influence in the doctoral program has been greatest, with family first. My mother instructed me in appreciation of the arts in childhood and has now equaled that kindness with years of the encouragement unique to motherhood. My father inculcated my interest in philosophy and has matched those heady days in the past with practical tips for surviving a doctoral program in the present. My mother- and father-in-law incentivized the completion of my dissertation with a gift whose absence would have extended the writing process by months, if not years; I extend all my family deep thanks. Next, I am grateful to the professors (and students) whose insights I gleaned in colloquia and seminars. In particular, my gratitude goes to Jim Parker, for his stories of how aesthetics collides with apologetics and philosophy of religion in the real world, Esther Crookshank, for her ability to exfoliate dense musical theory so that the meaning shines through, and Douglas Blount, for an amazing class in Christianity and pop culture that first exposed me to Tolstoy’s What is Art? Most of all, I’ve been impacted by Mark Coppenger, doctoral supervisor par excellence, a man whose learning is oceanic in

  • The Distancing-Embracing Model of the Enjoyment of Negative Emotions in Art Reception

Revisiting classical aesthetics in the light of recent psychological research, we present a novel model to explain this much discussed (apparent) paradox. We argue that negative emotions are an important resource for the arts in general, rather than a special license for exceptional art forms only. The underlying rationale is that negative emotions have been shown to be particularly powerful in securing attention, intense emotional involvement, and high memorability, and hence is precisely what artworks strive for. Two groups of processing mechanisms are identified that conjointly adopt the particular powers of negative emotions for art’s purposes.

  • The Transcendental Argument of the Novel
    The Transcendental Argument of the Novel Gilbert Plumer June 11, 2017 Journal of the American Philosophical Association accepted manuscript 1. Introduction Attending to a peculiar divergence, Warner (1979: 186) provides a striking description of the reception of Samuel Richardson’s groundbreaking novel Clarissa: When the completed novel is delivered to the public and readers still persist in asserting a misguided understanding of the novel, a new tone of irritation enters Richardson’s correspondence. At best, these readers are guilty of flagrant inattention to the novel’s design; at worst, an immoral admiration for Lovelace. Richardson meets this challenge to his art by carrying out significant changes in the body of Clarissa. These modifications come in two waves. In April 1749, six months after releasing the final installment of the first edition, Richardson publishes a second edition that includes footnotes and a long index summary of the novel, placed at the beginning of the text. Over the next two years, serious “errors” of reading continue, so in the Spring of 1751 Richardson publishes a third edition that weaves two hundred pages of additional material into the text. Similarly, Palmer (1973: 8) says that Clarissa is “a novel in which the central character [whom he regards as Lovelace] breaks the bonds of control of the author and reveals unconscious impulses which Richardson ‘did not understand himself’.” As we might say using commonplace categories, ‘the character took on a life of its own’ or even ‘the story wrote itself’. For this phenomenon of divergence to be possible, there have to be at least two levels of meaning or message of a work—that intended by the author and that conveyed or implicated by the text.

  • The Matter of Beauty: Materialism and the Self in Victorian Aesthetic Theory
    The Matter of Beauty: Materialism and the Self in Victorian Aesthetic Theory by Benjamin Joseph Morgan A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Anthony J. Cascardi, Co-Chair Professor Barbara Spackman, Co-Chair Professor C. Daniel Blanton Professor Ramona Naddaff Spring 2010 The Matter of Beauty: Materialism and the Self in Victorian Aesthetic Theory © 2010 Benjamin Joseph Morgan 1 Abstract The Matter of Beauty: Materialism and the Self in Victorian Aesthetic Theory by Benjamin Joseph Morgan Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric University of California, Berkeley Professor Anthony J. Cascardi, Co-Chair Professor Barbara Spackman, Co-Chair The Matter of Beauty proposes that Victorian aesthetic theory is not a branch of philosophy focusing on art; rather, it is best understood as an interdisciplinary investigation of how humans relate affectively to physical things. The central claim of the dissertation is that aesthetic theory in the late-Victorian period enabled a significant reconsideration of what a “human” was, and of how distinctions could be drawn between self and other. I pursue this claim across four authors—Walter Pater, William Morris, Grant Allen, and Vernon Lee—who represent different modes in which a materialist strain of aesthetics led to a recognition that individuals constitutively lack autonomy from one another and from their surroundings. My analysis of a wide range of late-Victorian writing demonstrates that aesthetic theory responded to a question that was powerfully raised by nineteenth-century science, and that remains with us today: If our most elevated emotions can be localized as electrical activity in the brain, is there a “self” that transcends our material being? The intellectual tradition that I reconstruct reveals that considering aesthetic experience is a productive step toward answering this question.

This thesis, instead, sets out to perform an unusual textual study of nostalgia in modern fiction in order to work towards a poetics of nostalgia. Although the experience of emotion is private, the object of analytical discourse must be to approach this experience with objective tools.

Doubtlesse this could not bee, but that she turnes Bodies to spirits, by sublimation strange; As fire converts to fire the things it burnes As we our meats into our nature change. From their grosse matter she abstracts their formes, And draws a kind of quintessence from things; Which to her proper nature she transforms, To bear them light on her celestiall wings: Thus doth she, when from things particular, She doth abstract the universal kinds; Which bodilesse and immaterial are, And can be log’d but onely in our minds.
