Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue
Abstract
The article for the first time in the Russian Humanities considers the phenomenon of glamour through the prism of universal aesthetic categories. The essence of the conception is to explore the phenomenon of glamour not in the sphere of its existence, but to perform global ontological phenomena to which its genesis leads. Following the methodology of Alexander Baumgarten the author of the article consistently compares glamour to aesthetic categories. In this article the author relates glamour with the categories of the ugly, mundane, terrible, wretched and vile. The article proves that glamour belongs to those categories of aesthetics.
