The nihilated character from the imaging consciousness

Abstract

This paper aims to clarify the concept of analogon in relation to the real. The Imaging consciousness has its own way of intending objects, it operates an act that nihilates and surpasses the real. Through the concept of analogon, this consciousness makes a movement in which it leaves the perception of the real in the background and aims at the unreal. Art, in turn, allows us to question the tension between these points. According to Sartre, the aesthetic object is in the unreal, it operates the passage from perceptual consciousness to Imaging consciousness. Although it represents an escape from reality, the nihilated act of the imaging consciousness does not result from the alienation of the subject. The trail is apparent, since the nihilation consciousness derives from human activity and look at the world through imagination, targeting an image that causes a repositioning before him. The work of art is the manifestation of artistic freedom to deny the real and, at the same time, to modify it implicitly.
