A estética Kantiana e o cinema transcendental

Abstract

Starting from the idea that many of the precepts of Kantian aesthetics can be seen as an important tool for analysis of contemporary cultural production, we highlight the critical and reflective aspects of Kantian judgment of taste to distinguish it, as Kant proceeds in its 3rd critical of the determinants judgments. These judgments, mainly linked to knowledge activity, are marked within the Kantian transcendental structure, by necessity and objectivity of their statements to the extent that just refer to what is necessarily provided by the transcendental subject in the constitution of experience. However, the own Kantian transcendental analysis of the structures that make up the experience of knowledge finds limits, and this is the case of the doctrine of schematism. It is precisely here where the review undertaken by the Frankfurt thinkers appears. We found in several texts of Adorno, Horkheimer and Benjamin the idea that the very ways in which the subject constitutes your experience are themselves conditioned by instances which escape the subject. The cinema as a mere industrial product, appear in these authors as one of these instances. We believe, however, that the very way in which the activity of schematize acts in the Kantian judgment of taste can point to other possibilities.
