The world is felt as pressing in too insistently, leaving us none of the elbow room we usually need to engage with an object aesthetically. Disgust bundles its force into a single affective vector aimed at driving back the offending object, and so it comes across as simple and one-dimensional, bereft of the complexity we look for in aesthetic experience. When it seizes us, it does so with a completeness that seems to leave no place for reflection or contemplation. It has no truck with ambiguity or ambivalence or irony.” Disgust (Oxford Encyclopedia of Aesthetics, 2nd ed.) jabbr and Blake 2 Link to comment
