Making moments to signify
Part of human existence is that meaning and signification are continuously generated in personal lives and in social structures that emerge through time. Emphasizing specific moments of transformation, of passage of time, highlights the process of time. It helps people to deal with time. Human societies have invented rituals and celebrations for specific moments in time through which meaning emerges for those involved. Through orchestrating moments to signify, shared experience emerges and offers participants a perspective on their individual position in context of the biological, ecological, technological or social whole. In these moments human’s inner time interacts deeply with rhythms around and culture is shaped.
