Style is a symbolic meta-language which introduces specific forms of human activities into the context of cultural meanings. Style generates realization of a specific outlook in the subjects of life activity, turning any act of the latter into a creative act. In the language of style, the social and occupational subject of activity acquires a quality of the subject of culture - a creative "ego" in the realm of meanings of value. Stylistic images transform cultural meanings into works of culture and enforce symbolic presence of subjects of culture in actual reality. The process of stylistic identification acts through image-symbol language, assisted by mechanisms of intuition and imagination. Style's journey into the depths of culture becomes the essence of aesthetical subject activity in any sphere of cultural action, broadening its capabilities in discovering non-obvious meanings.
