Mimesis/Imitation
Mimesis (/mamiss/; Ancient Greek: (mmsis), from (mmeisthai), "to
imitate", from (mimos), "imitator, actor") is a critical and philosophical term that
carries a wide range of meanings, which
include imitation, representation, mimicry, imitatio, receptivity, nonsensuous similarity,
the act of resembling, the act of expression, and the presentation of the self
Imitation (from Latin imitatio, "a copying, imitation") is an advanced behavior whereby
an individual observes and replicates another's behavior. Imitation is also a form
of social learning that leads to the "development of traditions, and ultimately our
culture. It allows for the transfer of information (behaviours, customs, etc.) between
individuals and down generations without the need for genetic inheritance." The
word imitation can be applied in many contexts, ranging from animal training
to politics. The term generally refers to conscious behavior; subconscious imitation is
termed mirroring
In ancient Greece, mimesis was an idea that governed the creation of works of art, in
particular, with correspondence to the physical world understood as a model for
beauty, truth, and the good. Plato contrasted mimesis, or imitation, with diegesis, or
narrative. After Plato, the meaning of mimesis eventually shifted toward a specifically
literary function in ancient Greek society, and its use has changed and been
reinterpreted many times since
One of the best-known modern studies of mimesis,
understood as a form of realism in literature, is Erich
Auerbach's Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in
Western Literature, which opens with a famous comparison
between the way the world is represented
in Homer's Odyssey and the way it appears in the Bible.
From these two seminal Western texts, Auerbach builds the
foundation for a unified theory of representation that spans
the entire history of Western literature, including the
Modernist novels being written at the time Auerbach began
his study. In art history, "mimesis", "realism" and "naturalism"
are used, often interchangeably, as terms for the accurate,
even "illusionistic", representation of the visual appearance
of things
Erich Auerbach (November 9, 1892 October 13, 1957) was a German philologist and comparative scholar and critic of literature. His best-
known work is Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature, a history of representation in Western literature from ancient to
modern times and frequently cited as a classic in the study of realism in literature
