ABSTRACT
Sublime, is a notion of which the foundations dating back to A.D. in the 1st century, yet as an aesthetic form that was constructed by Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant in the 18th century. The sublime, which bases on a common denominator for both thinkers, begins to be evident with an idea that invests in a transcendent idea, and therefore approaches the side of God in the human-God relationship. In this context, for Burke and Kant, the sublime is the main provider of dominant emotions such as power-force- fear, and feeds an abstract imagination. Supreme, which is an important nurturing element for artistic effects, has been used from past to present without losing its effect. For example, artists have directly invested in the idea of sublimity through basic features such as eternity, greatness, and monumentality through their works.
Within the scope of this study, besides the main effects of the sublime, a gendered discourse put forward by Kant is also mentioned. For Kant, this discourse found its expression in the context of the relation between the beautiful and the sublime, and it basically argues that the sublime exhibits qualities similar to the transcendent, therefore the masculine, and the beautiful to the immanent that is feminine nature. At this point, it becomes clear that the concept of the sublime is the manifestation of masculine power as opposed to feminine spontaneity. Basically, this study aims to reveal the basic features of the concept of the sublime, which is about transcendental strong emotions and corresponds to the masculine and chooses to interpret it through works of art as a method.
