Big Culture: Toward an Aesthetics of Magnitude - Hardcover
Details
by David Wittenberg (Author)
A philosophical exploration of our relationship to large objects and their outsized psychological effects.
Big Culture asks a simple question: why do big things give us big feelings? Skyscrapers, disasters, and other large phenomena can elicit fear, attraction, and awe. David Wittenberg argues that these feelings cannot be explained through objects' size alone. Instead, he contends that an encounter with bigness is a primal, even violent sensation like little else that we experience in our well-proportioned adult lives.
