Abstract
Fashions exist and have existed everywhere for human behaviour and with regard to all things with which they furnish their lives. Fashions are momentary images in processes of social change. In this context, only the labelling of the activity or of the things changes frequently, and less the item or the function itself. Thus the consideration in cultural science of the furniture which surrounds us can indicate local peculiarities, continuities and breaks.
