SEMIOTIC GENESIS OF THE ART OF HEADWEARING, ITS TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION AND ITS SCIENTIFIC-FUNDAMENTAL ROLE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF CULTURAL IDENTITY
Keywords:
Headwear, semiotics, iconography, pattern genesis, cultural identity, constructive modeling, visual anthropology.Abstract
This scientific article analyzes the semiotic, iconographic, anthropological and technological layers of the art of skullcap making based on a comprehensive approach. The research focuses on the iconographic genesis of skullcap patterns, color codes, cosmological symbols, compositional structures and technological transformations from traditional manual labor to semi-mechanical systems. The methodology consists of historical-discursive analysis, ethnosemiotic decoding, constructive-geometric modeling, visual anthropology and applied-ethnographic observation. The results show that skullcap patterns act as a stable semiotic system encoding the collective memory of society, and the construction algorithm is based on anthropometric and geometric laws. The study proves that, despite the influence of modern design and global visual culture, the skullcap retains its iconographic core and cultural functions.
