Херман Брох или орнаментът като трансмедиален концепт
Hermann Broch or The Ornament as a Transmedia Concept

Summary/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, autopian unity of an all-encompassing value system. Broch‘s ornamentis 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).
