Concrete Categories

Famous quotes containing the words concrete and/or categories:

    Every concrete object
    has abstract value, is timeless
    in the dream parallel.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Kitsch ... is one of the major categories of the modern object. Knick-knacks, rustic odds-and-ends, souvenirs, lampshades, and African masks: the kitsch-object is collectively this whole plethora of “trashy,” sham or faked objects, this whole museum of junk which proliferates everywhere.... Kitsch is the equivalent to the “cliché” in discourse.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
