aesthetic experience, attention focuses, art, transdisciplineAbstract
The authors reflect on the transdisciplinary dialogue developed in the study of the focus of attention in the aesthetic experience. It starts from a historical perspective of empirical models and methods of study on aesthetic experience and focuses of attention (Madsen and Geringer), replicated in Argentina by Ana Lucía Frega since 1980, which focus in particular on music. In cognitive psychology, attention is considered as a complex and multifaceted function of human cognition. Attention processes are studied in different ways, although the visual aspects are emphasized for their measurement. Linking focuses of attention on different stimuli (different languages of art) allowed to expand the inquiry about aesthetic experience; thus the need for transdisciplinary studies appeared. From these articulations have arisen questions about the possibilities of expansion and transdisciplinary construction of knowledge in aesthetic experience and focus of attention in art research.
