Abstract:
The concept of ‘ornament’ has an important role in the work of the
Austrian writer Hermann Broch. For him this concept subsumes a
historically complete depiction of a particular period and its style, a
utopian unity of an all-encompassing value system. Broch‘s ornament
is a cognitive concept too. The paper studies how this concept helps
organize narrative structures in the trilogy of novels The
Sleepwalkers. Another aspect under scrutiny is how the ornament
facilitates cross-media transfer (for example between the media
platforms of the opera, the theatre, the church, and in architecture).
Keywords:
ornament, style, utopia, symbolically generalized communication media.
