ORNAMENTED LIVES

Mehr zum Buch

Ornamented Lives explores the significance of ornaments beyond mere decoration, presenting them as crucial elements in shaping human emotional experiences. It extends the author's Semiotic Dynamics theory to analyze the interplay between linear and curvilinear forms in visual ornaments, reflecting the tension between natural growth and human construction. The book posits that these ornamental forms contribute to the creation of sublime life moments, merging the aesthetic, sublime, and mundane within a cultural psychology framework, ultimately enhancing ordinary living.
