Biophilia and the Aesthetics of Blues, Jazz, and Hip-Hop Music in African-American Prose Fiction
- In Biophilia and the Aesthetics of Blues, Jazz, and Hip-Hop Music in African-American Prose Fiction, African-American novels and short stories with musical elements are regarded as a kind of "medicine bundle". Possibilities of experiencing biophilia as the "[...] innate tendency to focus on life and life-like processes" (E. Wilson, Biophilia 1) are offered, along with re-learning strategies for its perception. Currently, aesthetics as a preference for natural design over human design is used as a flagship to confirm biophilia, to which the following study contributes valuable insights regarding the aesthetic composition and reception of African-American prose fiction with musical elements.
