Bus/Financial - Philosophy / From theoretical text on fashion | | German term or phrase: Gefühlswert | Context: "Haar wird damit Gefühlswert und Atmosphäre; es ist Sitz und Symbol der Lebensenergie . . ."
Someone called Erdmann's definition of it as "connotation" can be seen at http://www.arthist.lu.se/kultsem/encyclo/denotation_connotat...
In the context of this text "hair is thereby a connotation" is just about possible, but can anyone give me other options? |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseBrigitteHilgner: 10:36am Dec 4, 2007: I'm not a philosopher - so here's the layperson's comment: Hair has a high emotional value / is of emotional value.
xxxFrancis Lee: 1:06pm Dec 4, 2007: Context for the translation?
Alison Kirkland: 1:52pm Dec 4, 2007: Context in response to enquiry - It's from an academic essay on the history of hair: Eine Locke der Geliebten symbolisiert jene Intimität, die nur dann entstehen kann, wenn man ihr nicht nur über den seelisch empfindsamen Weg begegnet, sondern ihren begehrenswerten Eros endlich auch körperlich berührt. Haar wird damit Gefühlswert und Atmosphäre; es ist Sitz und Symbol der Lebensenergie, ist eigenwillig vital und unterliegt niemals der totalen Kontrolle.
