After I decided to compare and analyze the works of Joseph Beuys and Henry Darger, I still didn’t find a clear direction. In the first draft, I wrote extensively about the two artists and was reminded by Janet to keep the word count and content under control. Then I finally decided to start from the point of “outsider artist”, but was hesitant to include Joseph Beuys as an “outsider artist”.
୨୧ About the definition of “outsider artist”. https://luoqiuhengtorus.gwm.app/define-outsider-artartist/
After finishing the discussion on the definition of “outsider artist”, I felt that there was an important piece of evidence missing if we were to connect the artist’s personal experiences and feelings to the artistic creation. And when I felt it might be redundant, I stumbled upon Professor Tie’s research on Carnal Hermeneutics and felt that it could turn “a very vague take for granted” into “a very sure process of reasoning “.

My interest in clothing design is very much in the Japanese “yamikawai” style, which means “cute with mental/physical disease”. I’ve had a lot of debates on social media about the significance of disease and pathology in aesthetics. I always liked Georges Canguilhem’s view on pathology, so that’s when the topic of my research paper was decided.
