Based on the intersection of aesthetics, literary theory, cultural sociology and other disciplines, this book conducts a systematic study and critical discussion of the theory of "defamiliarization" at two different levels - diachronic and synchronic. The author strives to portray the theory of "defamiliarization" from a three-dimensional and multi-dimensional perspective, and the ultimate goal is to present the theory of "defamiliarization" in front of readers in a defamiliarized way through the theoretical sorting out of the "diachronic" dimension and the theoretical explanation of the "synchronic" dimension.

Academic circles generally believe that the literary aesthetics of the Frankfurt School is the continuation and development of the classic Marxist literary aesthetics. However, in the history of the development of the Frankfurt School, Simmel's name cannot be ignored. Simmel's influence enabled thinkers of the Frankfurt School to extend Marx's critique of capitalist political economy to the fields of sociology, aesthetics, culture and art. Based on the perspective of multi-disciplinary integration of literary theory, sociology, aesthetics, art theory, etc., This book conducts a systematic, comprehensive and in-depth study of the ideological connection between Simmel and the Frankfurt School from the perspective of cultural diagnosis, fragments of modernity, image of modern people, the aesthetic dimension of modern art and aesthetic redemption. This book focuses on exploring the connection between Simmel's literary theory and the Frankfurt School's literary theory from the perspective of multidisciplinary integration, and strives to establish the ideological connection between Simmel and the Frankfurt School in the fields of literary theory, aesthetics, art theory and other fields.

This book is based on problem awareness and uses representative artists and classic art phenomena in Western art history as clues to construct chapters. Each chapter of this book focuses on an artist or an artistic phenomenon, trying to explore the narrative construction of images and their discourse metaphors based on Western art historical practices from classical to contemporary times. This book focuses on three key words: image representation, narrative construction, and discourse metaphor. "Image representation" is an investigation at the phenomenon level and is also the case support of this book. "Narrative construction" is a deep theoretical analysis of phenomena. "Discourse metaphor" studies the social culture, aesthetic concepts and ideological discourse behind image narratives. This book introduces the perspectives of art philosophy, art sociology and art cross-media, and discusses the research object from the perspective of the integration of social theory, aesthetics, culture, philosophy and art, etc., And then provides theoretical support for current art appreciation and art criticism from the combination of case studies and academic theories, as well as practical support for the interpretation of current art theories.
