| Summary: | We interrogate here the cosmic dimension of body ornament : in which sense a headdress, a make up or a warrior adornement can be said « wordly » ? How the fold of a dress fits with the world ? We must not misunderstand the greek tone of the question. The Ancient Greeks have certainly formalized the articulation of cosmic and cosmetics, but this joint goes beyond this framework to be largely still at work in the ornamental medieval christian aesthetics, in Gottfried Semper’s work, or even into Gombrich’s great book on ornament. Specifically, we try to override the principle that always governs the ajointement cosmic-cosmetics, namely: an analogy of order. The very problem is then to set up the conditions of a real and continuous becoming-world of adornment. The question of the adequacy of body adornment, or rather its inadequacy, is particularly critical to think of an impersonal ornament, by which the body loses his bodyness and becomes "anorganically" with the world. |
