    SUMMARY OF REPORT

    (Reporter: Alih, Fatima Youshra M.)

    “ART AS REPRESENTATION”
    Aristotle, Plato’s most important student in philosophy, agreed with Plato in calling art, an
    imitation and the poet, an imitator. Aristotle in his poetics (Tsitsiridus, 2005) adopted the
    concept of art as “imitation” to fit his idea that artistic pursuits (particularly tragic or drama),
    mimic people, places, and condition, that we find around us in the real world. Art, then, is a
    representation of nature or of ideal.
    Aristotle tells us that art is not an exact imitation of nature, but a representation.

    DIFFERENT KINDS OF MIMESIS USED IN LITERATURE:

    Behavioral mimesis and Impersonation


    In literature, behavioral mimesis is employed when characters who mirror actual human
    responses are employed to various scenarios. While, on the other hand. Impersonation, It
    involves the adaptation of modes of conduct. However, this type goes a bit further by fully
    assuming a role or persona clearly different from an individual’s normal character. This mean
    that not only does the character act like another, but the character also most likely takes on the
    dress and distinct mannerisms of the role.

    Vocal mimesis and Metaphorical mimesis


    Authors and playwrights in literature use vocal mimesis by endowing a character with the
    accent, inflection, and other speech patterns of someone of a certain region or socioeconomic
    level. Visual and behavioral mimesis, impersonation, and vocal mimesis are all considered
    formal mimesis, which means that they are a representation of something directly observable
    in the real world. On the hand, metaphorical mimesis is a way of bringing intangible human
    concepts, such as religious and philosophical ideas, into real-life literary context. Think about
    places like hell, purgatory, and heaven.
