If the author then jars the reader from the reality of the story, essentially reminding the reader they are reading a book, the author is said to have "violated the aesthetic distance." [1][2] The concept originates from Immanuel Kant's Critique of Judgement, where he establishes the notion of disinterested delight which does not depend on the subject's having a desire for the object itself, he writes, "delight in beautiful art does not, in the pure judgement of taste, involve an immediate interest. The term aesthetic distance itself derives from an article by Edward Bullough published in 1912. Violating the aesthetic distance[edit] Anything that pulls a viewer out of the reality of a work of fiction is said to be a violation of aesthetic distance. Many examples of violating the aesthetic distance may also be found in meta-fiction. In film, the aesthetic distance is often violated unintentionally.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-187.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-187.txt
