JE NE SAIS QUOI ("I know not what").

Zugriff:
The article presents a definition of the term JE NE SAIS QUOI. A term of aesthetic response in 17th and early 18th-c. France closely related to charm, taste (q.v.), and (to some extent) the sublime (q.v.). As the phrase implies, j. n. s. q. indicates the failure of lang., rational discourse, or any critical system to capture the totality of aesthetic perception. In contrast to the (neo) classical conventions of objectivity in art, the j. n. s. q. asserts an ineffable residuum of personal response, personal, certainly, but not idiosyncratic, since it supposes a community of readers with good taste and shared standards.
