Abstract

This article aims to present the concept of artistic pre-appearance (Vor-Schein) as transgressive anticipation in Ernst Bloch’s thought. It starts with the interpretive hypothesis that the utopian-concrete blochian aesthetics is sustained in the relationship between the categories of pre-appearance (Vor-Schein) and transgression (Überschreitung). The article problematizes the interpretations of the concept of pre-appearance (Vor-Schein) before exposing the two central questions of aesthetics to Bloch: the appearance and the truth of the work of art. According to him, the appearance of the work of art is not the source of the content of concrete utopia present in the work, but rather the expectation well founded in it. Thus, in the well founded expectation of the work, one can problematize the question of truth in / of the work of art, since the blochian aesthetic does not abandon the real world, but remains immanent.
