Representations, the Internet, and Hegel

I was browsing YouTube the other day and came across an episode of 8-Bit Philosophy that focused on Hegel. If you haven't heard of 8-Bit Philosophy then you're missing out (and now I've solved that problem for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6V_YKn8i9k). The basic premise of these YouTube-based videos is to provide a platform for people who want to learn about and discuss principles of philosophy. The channel is also home to Thug Notes and Earthling Cinema, which produce videos about literature and film, respectively.

The video left me wondering about Hegel's views on art. When we discussed Lectures on Fine Art earlier this week there was a general consensus that music could be seen as the epitome for the romantic form of art. Yet, what about film and theater, which present the human spirit in a lively and engaging way? In his discussion of art Hegel states the following: "We may, therefore, in short, adhere to the view that at this third stage [the romantic] the subject-matter of art is free concrete spirituality, which is to be manifested as spirituality to the spirituality inward" (555). There are many ways in which film and theater seem to fit into this definition of art. However, in its current state there exists a multitude of trivial representations (you don't need to go too far into a YouTube binge to realize this) that are far from Hegel's ideal.

This led me to the dilemma I'm currently wrestling with. What's so appealing about videos like 8-Bit Philosophy is that they present ideas for a mass audience. As a result, they are often cursory and engaging (who doesn't want to learn about the Hegelian dialect as represented through video game characters leveling up?). Yet, at the same time, I (as well as many others) believe that we risk diminishing great ideas through a simplified description. That seems to be the problem with Core 250, seeing as the class has to educate a large audience (well, at least for Whitworth) in a way that minimizes great thinkers and ideas.  

There are, then, two issues that I need some clarity on, and I'm hoping you guys can help:

1) Are there any other representations of art besides music that Hegel would view as romantic and ideal? 

2) How do we democratize concepts that are heavily theoretical and abstract? There are current pedagogical strategies that attempt to Hegelize Hegel (think of it in terms of a dialectic, through which we synthesize information to appeal to mass audiences) and other philosophers, but there must be a better way to impart these ideas. 

That's all I've got for you today. See ya!
