- Abstract
The study approaches the realm of social ontology in a particular key. Capitalizing the pretext of the anniversary of a centenary since Andy Warhol's work, Campbell Soup (1921), the author makes it a metaphor for a "method" of social investigation; a fresh qualitative analytic look upon the social realm. The Andy Warhol type of analytic glance upon society bears the name of the intriguing artist born Andrew Warhola (1928-1987) -- pop artist and film director. In a way, an anti-art artist, Andy Warhol denied to art the very artistic input and vibe, creating emotionless and affectless works of art that simply "copy" things. "Art is anything you can get away with," is among his most intriguing and reiterated famous quotes part of a pop postmodernism still "floating around" certain intellectual circles. His name is used here as an eponym for multiplication, actually, mechanical multiplication, as a process meant to be insulated outside the realms of art; which did not happen. Attitudes, forms of expression, patterns of speech, clothes and garments, social phenomena and social movements are influenced by the wonderous interplay of the one and the multiple, of uniqueness, multiplication, proliferation, reiteration, paradoxically, eventually affirmed, as creators of novelty: the Warhol "method", a particular discussion of social ontology.
