can you guys help me PARAPHRASE this paragraph?

I’m in a desparate need =’(

“The reductionist stage focused on specific devices, starting from the basic assumption that art liberates perception from automatization. Poetic language was defined as the deformation of everyday practical language, which is characterized by economy—that is, a maximum of automatization and a minimum of effort in perception. Thus, from a productive perspective, art was characterized by a process of “making strange” (ostranenie) in order to render perception more difficult; from a receptive perspective, artistic perception was understood as “seeing anew” (videnie) as opposed to “re‐cognizing” (uznavanie). Consequently, art is characterized by deautomatization or defamiliarization, a process that is achieved by way of specific literary devices. The reception process itself becomes an end in itself: the process of making strange causes the recipient to detect or to “lay bare” the devices (obnaženie priëma), and it thus directs the recipient’s attention toward the literary artifact’s “differential qualities” or its “markedness.””

I’d guess that the relation between the artistic theory presented and the artistic presenting of that theory is as important as any other aspect, so I wouldn’t change a thing. Except “economy” is probably not the right word. “economy of thrift” or “simple minimalism” or something related.

i.e. if you want art to communicate more simply or effectively, the theory behind what art is might be different.

yes. communication (”art) tends toward easiness and simplicity. Some forms of communication or art go the opposite direction, like throwing a complicated supercallifragilistic in the middle of this sentence to make one focus on the communicative process itself, or to refresh how one sees rather than simply communicating an easy message.

That doesn’t sum it up, but that’s a paraphrase of one aspect.

It’s like they’re pointing out the difference between rote memorization of answers and a teacher forcing the student to figure it out and learn.
