Modernology is grounded not in a focus on the exchange value of objects, but the examination of the use value of an object at a given place in order to record the totality of life.
Modernology is a method for the scientific analysis of material culture which objectively studies the lifestyle and cultural phenomena of contemporary "cultured peoples" (bunkajin)
Modernology is a science whose result is a kaleidoscopic observation where the individual, seen as the sum of details, sheds light on the period in which they live in their own way.
Modernology's aim is not analytical; it sees itself more as a collection of ways of being, in a given place, at a given moment and where the collection of samples has value for what it is: a set of diverse profiles which, laid end-to-end like points on a map, have no other purpose than to offer an image of the present moment.
