Identify the Literary Artworks:On Margolis'Definition of Art
Margolis'definition of art,namely his generic formula of artworks,concretes the tradition-al normative art defiinition into the description of artworks,asserting that"artworks are physical-ly embodied and culturally emergent entities",which further uncovers the essence of art.Identi-fying a work of art is a reader-driven perceptual process which takes the physical art medium as its basis.It requires readers to situate artworks within the specific culture context and combine the sensory perception of the physical art medium and the thinking perception of an aesthetic de-sign.Since he insists that the art is in flux all the time,identifying a work of art should be consid-ered as a historical process of perceiving art as well.Finally,he adds the theories of"type","to-ken","megatype"and"prime instance"to the definition of art,to identify artworks of different genres,providing practical strategies and methods for identifying the identity of literary artworks in particular.
