Not only structurally indispensable, it was also emblematic of specific building styles developed through history. Entering the modem era, however, its architectural validity was overturned by the use of modem technology and building materials, rendering brackets merely a visual and decorative motif. This paper contends that it was precisely when the bracket set lost its structural significance that it began to be discussed in ways that endowed it with layers of cultural meaning in the context of modem China. Examining its modem appropriations in materials other than wood throughout the twentieth century, the paper explores shifting meanings of brackets in their continuous transmutations from a reminder of a defunct component in the building tradition to a nostalgic sign for an irretrievable architectural past.展开更多

Arguing against the Weberian notion that we are living in a "disenchanted world," I aim to reveal how the existing contours of enchantment's sign condition have significantly morphed in America, however, given our current distracting media-saturated environments. I begin by discussing enchantment as a form or habit of play, drawing specifically from the works of semiotician, Charles S. Peirce, and cultural historian, Johan Huizinga. We discover that enchantments take primarily two forms depending upon the interpretants we communicatively construct: one is indicative of what Peirce describes as a play of musement and the other is a result of what I call the play of amusement. The former is vital for human learning at higher orders of abstraction, growth, and positive ethical relations with others. The latter typically produces a bad ambiguity that eventually leads to an inability to discriminate or assess the relevance of perceived information and events. This form of play also often jeopardizes our relations with others given its primary focus on the self. Through this interrogation, we discover that our current enchantments or habits of play have serious epistemological consequences for cultural life.展开更多
