Abstract
This paper aims at questioning theories of expressive experience that rely on imagination. I will namely address Jerrold Levinson’s Persona theory and Paul Noordhof’s theory of sensuous imagining arguing that their problematic aspects are grounded in a misleading assumption about expressiveness. As an alternative, I will sketch an approach according to which expressive experience primarily consists in the perceptual experience of patterns of dynamic features.
