Affekt
The doctrine of the affections, also known as the ''doctrine of affects'', ''doctrine of the passions'', ''theory of the affects'', or by the German term Affektenlehre (after the German ''Affekt''; plural ''Affekte'') was a theory in the aesthetics of painting, music, and theatre, widely used in the Baroque era (1600–1750). Literary theorists of that age, by contrast, rarely discussed the details of what was called "pathetic composition", taking it for granted that a poet should be required to "wake the soul by tender strokes of art".Alexander Pope, cited in The doctrine was derived from ancient theories of rhetoric and oratory. Some pieces or movements of music express one ''Affekt'' throughout; however, a skillful composer like Johann Sebastian Bach could express different affects within a movement. History and definition The doctrine of the affections was an elaborate theory based on the idea that the passions could be represented by their outward visible or audible sign ...

Affect (psychology)
Affect, in psychology, is the underlying experience of feeling, emotion, attachment theory, attachment, or Mood (psychology), mood. It encompasses a wide range of emotional states and can be positive (e.g., happiness, joy, excitement) or negative (e.g., sadness, anger, fear, disgust). Affect is a fundamental aspect of human experience and plays a central role in many psychological theories and studies. It can be understood as a combination of three components: emotion, mood (enduring, less intense emotional states that are not necessarily tied to a specific event), and affectivity (an individual's overall disposition or temperament, which can be characterized as having a generally positive or negative affect). In psychology, the term ''affect'' is often used interchangeably with several related terms and concepts, though each term may have slightly different nuances. These terms encompass: emotion, feeling, mood, emotional state, sentiment, affective state, emotional response, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sorrow (emotion)
Sorrow is an emotion, feeling, or sentiment. Sorrow is more 'intense' than sadness, implies a long-term state and suggests — unlike unhappiness — a degree of resignation.Wierzbicka, p. 66 Moreover, in terms of attitude, sorrow can be considered halfway between ''sadness'' (accepting) and ''Mental distress, distress'' (not accepting)". Cult Romanticism saw a cult of sorrow develop, reaching back to ''The Sorrows of Young Werther'' of 1774, and extending through the nineteenth century with contributions like Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Tennyson's "In Memoriam A.H.H., In Memoriam" — "O Sorrow, wilt thou live with me/No casual mistress, but a wife" — up to W. B. Yeats in 1889, still "of his high comrade Sorrow dreaming". While it may be that "the Romantic hero's cult of sorrow is largely a matter of pretence", as Jane Austen pointed out satirically through Marianne Dashwood, "brooding over her sorrows... this excess of suffering" may nevertheless have serious consequences.

Quintilian
Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (; 35 – 100 AD) was a Roman educator and rhetorician born in Hispania, widely referred to in medieval schools of rhetoric and in Renaissance writing. In English translation, he is usually referred to as Quintilian (), although the alternate spellings of Quintillian and Quinctilian are occasionally seen, the latter in older texts. Life Quintilian was born c. 35 AD in ''Calagurris'' ( Calahorra, La Rioja) in Hispania. His father, a well-educated man, sent him to Rome to study rhetoric early in the reign of Nero. While there, he cultivated a relationship with Domitius Afer, who died in 59. "It had always been the custom … for young men with ambitions in public life to fix upon some older model of their ambition … and regard him as a mentor". Quintilian evidently adopted Afer as his model and listened to him speak and plead cases in the law courts. Afer has been characterized as a more austere, classical, Ciceronian speaker than those commo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
