This volume counters the oft-noted semantic imprecision of the term classicism in scientific and ordinary discourse with a functional definition of the concept. The essays on literature, music, and fashion in different national and cultural contexts describe classicism as a valid norm across time; they bring classicism into focus as a cultural praxis that is experienced and observable in intermedial and intercultural processes.
