| description |
The article investigates how and why we treat works of art as persons. From
rhetoric to jurisprudence, various disciplines have dealt with the practice
of attributing human features and abilities to insensate objects. The agency
of works of art acting as fictitious persons is not only recognized at the
level of aesthetic experience, but also outside it, because there have been
cases in which they were subject to legal liability. Personhood is not
reducible to individual human beings. However, since works of art lack
senses and consciousness, there is ultimately a limit to the personifying
metaphor. |
