	mimesis
		The OED defines mimesis as "a figure of speech, whereby the words or actions of another are imitated" and "the deliberate imitation of the behavior of one group of people by another as a factor in social change" [2].
		Plato believed that mimesis was manifested in 'particulars' which resemble or imitate the forms from which they are derived; thus, the mimetic world (the world of representation and the phenomenological world) is inherently inferior in that it consists of imitations which will always be subordinate or subsidiary to their original [7].
		Mimesis is positioned within the sphere of aesthetics, and the illusion produced by mimetic representation in art, literature, and music is viewed as alienating, inauthentic, deceptive, and inferior [8].

	Sample Chapter for Auerbach, E.; Trask, W., trans.: Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature.
		The historical trajectory that is the spine of Mimesis is the passage from the separation of styles in classical antiquity, to their mingling in the New Testament, their first great climax in Dante's Divine Comedy, and their ultimate apotheosis in the French realistic authors of the nineteenth century--Stendhal, Balzac, Flaubert, and then Proust.
		In Mimesis, he resolutely sticks to his practice of working from disconnected fragments: each of the book's chapters is marked not only by a new author who bears little overt relationship to earlier ones, but also by a new beginning, in terms of the author's perspective and stylistic outlook, so to speak.
		But the triumph of Mimesis, as well as its inevitable tragic flaw, is that the human mind studying literary representations of the historical world can only do so as all authors do--from the limited perspective of their own time and their own work.

	Mimesis
		Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature, Fiftieth-Anniversary edition by Erich Auerbach, translated by Willard R. Trask, special introduction by Edward W. Said (Princeton University Press) Fifty years later, at the at the beginning of a new century, Auerbach's masterwork has lost little of its luster or even its immediacy.
		Assuming that we are allowed to count Gregory of Tours as medieval, seven of the original nineteen chapters of Mimesis (it later became seven of twenty; the Cervantes chapter was written for and first published in the Spanish edition in 1950) are devoted to the Middle Ages.
		Were one to criticize Mimesis, half a century later, it would not be for Auerbach's overall vision of literature or his approach(es).

	mimesis.html
		The meaning of the first type of mimesis refers to the structure of bad mimesis, whereas the second type, which is a model of adaptive "and" correlative behavior, is marked as the proper mimesis.
		Mimesis and its relation to the other, its assimilation to the other, is also indicative of a relation based on similarity and affinity.
		In other words, the regression of mimesis which, being a part of that history which itself is anterior to the polarity of subject and object, is never actually a regression, constitutes its opposition through which it escapes the power of conceptualization in the process of identifying with something.

	Gender Roles of Mimesis in Traditional Cinema (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In traditional cinema, movies of the time period from the 1940's to the 60's, the character of the woman is portrayed as the weaker one; the male hero must come to her rescue as she is vulnerable and almost always in some kind of trouble.
		Taking place within the storyline, one form of mimesis is the actual imitation of the characters by characters; this is a mimesis that serves to create or accentuate the plot of the film.
		Standard roles of gender and mimesis exist in traditional cinema: the woman is the imitated object and the imitation, while the man is the creator of the imitation.

	Luce Irigaray [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Mimesis, strategic essentialism, utopian ideals, and employing novel language, are but some of the methods central to changing contemporary culture.
		Mimesis is a process of resubmitting women to stereotypical views of women in order to call the views themselves into question.
		While the goal of mimesis is to problematize the male definition of femininity to such a degree that a new definition of and, ultimately, an embodied subject position for women can emerge, Irigaray says in her earlier work that she will not prescribe in advance either the definition or the subject position.

	Mimesis and the Aesthetic Experience
		Mimesis was "the primary dramatic phenomenon: projecting oneself outside oneself and then acting as though one had really entered another body, another character." (Nietzsche) When the bard chanted his poem he became the character portrayed.
		Plato saw mimesis as an assault on the intellect and damaging to the control of the rational mind.
		The impact of the confrontation, the immediacy and strength of the illusion, is Dionysian.

	Resembling Pound: mimesis, translation, ideology - Ezra Pound - Post-ing Modernism Criticism - Find Articles
		Only the being capable of speech can produce art; therefore, to speak of mimesis is to speak of translation and ideology - the resemblance between languages and between communities or nations - and ultimately of the grounds of resemblance itself.
		Once mimesis has been termed production, justice is no longer a rendering of what is due but a problem of language and making the measurement of words and coins more exact.
		In pursuing the issue of ideology in Pound by way of translation and mimesis, I wish to suggest that the appeal of interpreting ideology through a framework of cultural symbology lies, to a great extent, in the power of narrative.

	Nietzsche, Plato and Aristotle on Mimesis [Wong Kwok Kui]
		Second, a certain kind of ecstasy or “geting-out-of-oneself” is a prerequisite for such mimesis, and therefore the level of “ecstasy” increases with the change of poetic genre, with drama and tragedy the highest.
		Thus, the process of mimesis set off by the muses must not be limited to particular affects, but must have an access to a certain kind of universal emotion.
		Mimesis or the dramatic representation, which begins with the imitation of the external gestures and movements, has stronger effect to the soul than narration does, for the latter always keeps a distance from its object.

	Mimesis and Semiotics of Bullying
		Mimesis is a very ancient and universal human strategy for representation, social communication, and group organization (Auerbach, 1953; Donald, 1991, Gebauer and Wulf, 1995, Walton, 1990).
		According to Donald (1991) mimesis involves acts that are conscious, self-initiated, and representational.
		Mimesis is not merely a weak or primitive form of representation simply replaced by higher symbolic functions.

	Mimesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To Taussig, this reductionism is suspect, and he argues thus from both sides in his Mimesis and Alterity, to see values in the anthropologists' perspective, at the same time as defending the independence of a lived culture from anthropological reductionism.
		It is in diegesis that the author addresses the audience or the readership directly as a narrator to express his freely creative art of the imagination, of fantasies and dreams in contrast to mimesis.
		Diegesis was thought of as telling: the author narrating action indirectly and describing what is in the characters' minds and emotions, while mimesis is seen in terms of showing what is going on in the characters' inner thoughts and emotions through their external actions and their acting.

	Representing Realities - Towards a Feminist Hyperfiction Mimesis
		Writing about mimesis has, of course, been done many times before, not only by Plato and Aristotle but by a host of others.
		The result, in both cases, is that the meaning of each is constantly becoming (to use Braidotti's terms) with such intensity that both the main character, Tracey, and the theory of mimesis call for a radical rethinking.
		Within mimesis, it seems, certainly at the most general level, an equation has repeatedly been drawn between language and its objects that has the reassuring, comforting quality of the self-evident.

		Mimesis is among other things its author's response to those who drove him into exile, even if they were unlikely to have heard of Farinata and Cavalcante or Frate Alberto.
		In this respect, Auerbach is a curious cross between Lukács and Bakhtin, blending the historicism of the former with the iconoclasm of the latter.
		Mimesis turns on one of the most momentous cultural events of human history: the morally and artistically serious representation of unvarnished everyday life, as the common people enter the literary arena long before they make their collective appearance on the political stage.

		In Mimesis Auerbach examined changing conceptions of reality as they are reflected in literary works.
		The word "mimesis" has almost the same meaning as "mime," but is broadly translated as "imitation." Auerbach starts from Homer and continues throught the texts of Dante, Shakespeare, Cervantes, etc. ending with such writers as Marcel Proust and Virginia Woolf.
		Also the concept of mimesis has been defined in many ways in contemporary aesthetics, referring sometimes to the inner world of consciousness.
