By 1576, in order to obtain the censor’s permission to publish his two last treatises, the artist and philosopher Francisco de Holanda was forced to produce a major change in his conception of art. In an anticipation of the trend that was going to spread all over Europe some decades later, he agreed to replace his neo-platonic notion of an art of divine inspiration for a new conception of the artistic expression centred on the aristotelic caracterization of the human creative process. However, in doing that, Holanda paved the way for the development of a true methaphysics of art. In this article, the author intends to establish the network of philosophical influences that made possible this important change of course in the history of european aesthetics, as well as determine its implications.

In this statement, we envision a futuristic direction of art creation that explores the uncharted possibilities of incorporating programmable inspirations into the creative process. We invited three artists to draw an object called Programmable Sphere, which dynamically changed its shape and texture in response to the artist’s movement. From this experiment, in which an artist and an external object are dynamically coupled, we discuss new possibilities of artistic expression when inspiration is not isolated from the creation process.

Der Aufsatz schildert an ausgewählten Beispielen die Rolle der Dichtung im Leben und Schaffen von Heinz Piontek, einem der bedeutendsten deutschen Dichter der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der Beitrag gliedert sich in zwei Teile. Im ersten Teil wird die subjektive Einstellung Pionteks zum Schaffensakt wie auch zur Dichtung selbst beleuchtet. Im Zentrum des zweiten Teils des Beitrags steht Pionteks Roman Dichterleben, in dem der Autor das Schicksal des Schriftstellers Achim Reichsfelder schildert. Der Hauptprotagonist, obwohl eine fiktive Gestalt, zeigt zahlreiche Parallelen zu Piontek selbst. Die Problematik des künstlerischen Ausdrucks beschäftigte Piontek sein Leben lang und ist auch – auf unterschiedliche Weise – in seinen literarischen und malerischen Werken sichtbar.About a poet’s life and failure: Dichterleben, a potentially autobiographical novel by Heinz PiontekUsing selected examples, the article shows the role of poetry in the life and work of Heinz Piontek, one of the most valued German poets of the second half of 20th century.

AbstractDelving into the nature of the creative process, attention is given in the article to particular kinds of emotions appearing in the course of the work of a creative person. Particular emphasis is given to the emotions the artist is guided by during the act of creation. The reflections presented in the text result not only from theoretical analysis, but also from the author’s experience in the process of creation. In this context they refer closely to the personal emotional sensations accompanying the author when painting pictures.The article distinguishes and analizes the concept of loneliness in artistic creation. Selected visual artists are recalled, who deliberately refer in their work to the experience of loneliness in the process of creation. The significance of artists belonging to creative community groups is also pointed out. Positive and negative aspects of experiencing loneliness by the creator in the act of artistic creation are also stressed.

Architecture and literature are significant and distinctive forms of artistic expression demonstrating the traditions and characteristics of their own. However, the relation between them excels the superficial difference in the final form of their creative process. They are interrelated not only by the underlying structure, but also by their ability to generate complex meanings. This interrelation is particularly interesting to explore in the creative process of writing fiction and deliberately focusing on architectural spaces. In my novel, The Modernists, I employ architectural structures to establish and intensify the central themes and literary meanings to test the ways that architecture, urban space and literature can be brought together in fiction. Accompanied by a commentary, the excerpts from the finished novel presents a story told through the prism of architecture. Keywords: architecture, creative writing, interdisciplinary research, semiotics

In the pre-modern period, Japanese identity was articulated in contrast with China. It was, however, articulated in reference to criteria that were commonly accepted in the whole East-Asian cultural sphere; criteria, therefore, that were Chinese in origin.One of the fields in which Japan's conception of a Japanese identity was enacted was that of foreign relations, i.e. of Japan's relations with China, the various kingdoms in Korea, and from the second half of the sixteenth century onwards, with the Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutchmen, and the Kingdom of the Ryūkū.
