ABSTRACT

Like pure elements, discursive order and aesthetic order can be examined separately; they do not, however, exist independently of each other. Moreover, both orders are interrelated with the various types of disorder. There is no pure experience that consists of one type of order only, or that is entirely detached from disorder of some form. Each element plays its role in every particular case. The complexity of experience can be described as a net of interrelations between the two types of order and the various types of disorder; each particular case expresses different proportions and interrelations between the constituting elements. Therefore, the analysis of aesthetic order would not be completed without an illustration of this “net” and an examination of some of its typical intersections.
