Dear Friends:
the best way to define the word is to consult the dictionary as a starting point
certainly some aspects of kitsch can be what one might term the entropy of the sublime--or --its deteroraition--kitsch is usally a derogative tern--ceratinly associated with asp[ects of thesentimental that are borderingon the "distasteful"--yet do evoke passionate feelings in some--while repulsion in others-
there's aloo camp--but i don't think secret fluxus is either camp or kitsch--
this is why i wondered if the aspect of mimicry is not a camouflage, thus attaineing to secret-hood-
or if the ritual reenactment of a historical one-time-only event--is not an attempt as it were to 'contact the gods" via a sort of cathartic identification by means of mimicry---"acting out"--yet under strict controls--
or, on the camp theme--there is the impersonation aspect--but i don't think secret fluxus is into this
maybe more like textbook illustrations? or like those reenactments one finds at historical villages?--
it does--have to do with history, at the core of it--"getting it right"--
but yes consult ye dictionary!--
