Jesus' Sandals as a concretion of humility: A Semiotic Analysis from the Carolingian Era to Contemporary Walmart Sales

Abstract

This study employs Peirce's notion of habit to study the transformation of the so-called "Jesus sandals" from revered religious artifacts into contemporary fashion statements. In this context, the doxastic repository of humility serves as a mechanism for both validating and modifying established norms, thereby fostering discourse surrounding emerging aesthetic frameworks associated with self-aware symbols of defiance. This perspective provides significant insights into the evolution of religious symbols of sanctity, highlighting how practices once complementary to official doctrine have been redefined and adapted in response to changing cultural and social contexts.
