Style in perception (original) (raw)
It is difficult, if not impossible, to give a short answer to the question of what style is but how ever one may stress its critical or useful implications, style always concerns the mode of something other than itself, be it a mode of beeing or a mode of acting or representing. This mode is a way of composingating something in a specific manner so that the way something is presented determines how it can be perceived. Style always concerns the way through which we perform something, be this an action or an experience, a depiction or narration, a way of thinking or of perceiving. This "How" of (per-)forming depends on emotions, worldviews, basic interpretations, and other framing/parergonal (?) preconditions. But under these conditions, this How can only become visible through a kind of manifestion, incorporation or representation. The differences in the way of performing, formulating and articulating are what makes two actions or two attitudes different. The particular manner of a depiction makes the depiction what it is. (Es sind die Modi der Darstellung, die das Dargestellte erst zu dem werden lassen, was es ist.)
