metadata.value: With this article I offer a close reading of Gadamer’s Aesthetics and Hermeneutics. The reason I draw
  attention to this essay is as a response to criticism aimed at Gadamer’s hermeneutic account of art. In
  its reception, it has occasionally been viewed as too hermeneutical, too focused on understanding. I
  maintain that Aesthetics and Hermeneutics can be considered exempt from this critique. Here, Gadamer
  offers us the hermeneutic experience in its most aesthetic guise: in being struck by the significance
  of the artwork. The main purpose of this article is to clarify this experience. This task I undertake in
  two steps. First, I emphasize the aesthetic nature of this experience of “being struck” by the artwork in
  an answer to Figal’s critique. As a supplement to Gadamer’s theoretical remarks in Aesthetics and Hermeneutics,
  I consider the performance piece Faust by Anne Imhof. The second step of my argument
  intends to show that Gadamer does not “reduce” the aesthetic experience to a hermeneutic experience
  of meaning but grounds the experience of art hermeneutically. I will argue for my thesis by closely reconstructing
  Gadamer’s argument in Aesthetics and Hermeneutics. The guiding question is, what is the
  significance of this aesthetic experience for Gadamer’s hermeneutics? Gadamer conceptually clarifies
  the experience of “being struck” in terms of the notion of contemporaneity. In my interpretation, the
  experience of art shakes us with a sense of self-implication.
