Mimesis. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Classical definitions Plato In Book II of The Republic, Plato describes Socrates' dialogue with his pupils.
Socrates warns we should not seriously regard poetry as being capable of attaining the truth and that we who listen to poetry should be on our guard against its seductions, since the poet has no place in our idea of God. In developing this in Book X, Plato tells of Socrates' metaphor of the three beds: one bed exists as an idea made by God (the Platonic ideal); one is made by the carpenter, in imitation of God's idea; one is made by the artist in imitation of the carpenter's.
So the artist's bed is twice removed from the truth. Mimesis. English[edit] Etymology[edit] From Ancient Greek μίμησις (mīmēsis), from μιμεῖσθαι (mimeisthai, “to imitate”), from μῖμος (mīmos, “a mime”).

Specifically, Nietzsche attributes the birth of tragedy to the mimetic experience of the chorus. 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. The situation became 'real' for the poet and the chorus. In the transitional period between totemic mythologies and the Socratic world view, the mimetic experiences of the bard and chorus were instrumental to both the actualization of ethical consciousness and its reunion with the 'superhuman cosmology' of classical mythology.
Plato declared that all poetry is mimesis. For Plato, it was the idea and not the physical thing that contained essential being. Copyright © R. Mimesis. Encyclopedia: Mimesis. 'MIMESIS: reconsideration of an apparently obsolete concept' Soon: The book!!!
No concept so misunderstood as 'mimesis' (see: Nelson Goodman, Arthur Danto, Gérard Genette, Gottfried Boehm, W.J.T.
