Abstract

Abstract This article continues Vygotsky’s efforts in investigating the social genesis of affective generalization in artistic creative and reception process proposed in On the problem of the psychology of the actor’s creative work. Affective generalization abstracts emotions and feelings from the individual to the social plane and from the mundane to the hyper-generalized level. Based on an examination of Vygotsky’s aesthetic ideas, we introduced Chinese philosopher Defeng Wang’s work in philosophy of art under the existential approach. Finally, we propose to adopt the cultural psychology of semiotic mediation as a framework to capture this dynamic process.Resumo Este artigo continua os esforços de Vygotsky em investigar a gênese social da generalização afetiva na criação da arte e no processo de recepção proposto em Sobre o problema da psicologia do trabalho criativo do ator. A generalização afetiva abstrai emoções e sentimentos do plano individual para o social e do mundano para o nível hipergeneralizado. Com base no exame das ideias estéticas de Vygotsky, apresentamos o trabalho do filósofo chinês Defeng Wang em filosofia da arte sob a abordagem existencial. Na última parte, também propomos adotar o arcabouço da psicologia cultural da mediação semiótica para capturar esse processo dinâmico.
