Essays on Modernist.

The digital culture of ephemeral and sensuous images has been always opposed to the culture of pragmatic. But recently these two cultures that seemed to be incompatible collaborated and produced the 'digital tectonics'. Up-to-date computer programs make easy the design process and the latest digital tools let architects generate new architectural forms. A lot of architects use the new possibilities in the following fields: material composition, structural engineering, and construction technique. This architectural style is studied by many architects and Greg Lynn and Patrik Schumacher are among them. Lynn believes that architects have been over occupied with producing conflicting, ...

In the mid-1990s, some theorists examined the phenomenon of field and its technique. This concept expresses fullness and constant presence of natural forces and events in architecture; it appears in contrast to the old displaced concept of space. The concept of field describes an expanded space and its effects. It does not contain definite values and does not focus on a material structure; it reflects the main functions, vectors, and velocity. Theorists believe that the emergence of the field concept, its state, and field conditions is a sure sign that there exists a renewed interest in ultimately understood context ...

Response to Second article

“Grids” is an article that Rosalind Krauss wrote in 1979 and it explores the perspective that the grid has resisted development over the years. The author suggests that the grid is the fundamental structure or modernist art (Krauss, 1979). He also explores the idea that the grid is a representation of the modernity of contemporary art, both temporally and spatially. Krauss traces the history of the grid from the under painting to abstract, thereby exploring the grid that entails the universal and ignores the physical (Krauss, 1979). Krauss maintains that the grid illustrates the “modernity” of contemporary art in ...

Italy is a historical visual art hub. This history has been largely approached from a classic, "Renaissance" perspective. In contrast, modern art history has witnessed dramatic changes in paradigm and focus. Given evolving modern movements, particularly modernist approaches as in First Futurist Manifesto of 1909, Italian visual art has witnessed rising of new artists inspired by past not for emulation but for emphasizing new, modernist art statements. The "Italy in International Modernism: Modernism – 1909 to the Present" is case in point. Being a course offering focused on modernist schools and approaches to Italian visual art history, The "Italy in ...

Introduction

When it comes to story-telling, many people emphasize the story part, instead of the telling one. Nevertheless, the manner in which a story is told can be very influential in its reception. In fact, many people would say that the story itself changes depending on the discourse that presents it. This came to the limelight in the end of the nineteenth century with the Modernist current. Authors such as James Joyce and Virginia Woolf deliberately modified the way that stories were told. They utilized many techniques that allowed them greater range of expression, many of which were not even ...

The notion of self-critical individuality is distinct from the dominant social structure. The article “alternative modernities and medieval Indian literature” refers to a patriarchal social structure and a caste-based value system. It also provides a feminist critique of and defends the values of work done by women. This literary-critical analysis addresses alternative modernities in an Indian context. Modernity, in this regard, is infinitely expandable. This presentation focuses distinctly “modern” values in women and gender studies.

In the overview of “new” modernist studies, Gaonkar (26) characterize modernities field in three major axes i.e. vertical, horizontal and temporal, by which they expound the ...

Modernism became a genre of photography in the early 1900s, when photographers desired to distinguish themselves from their pictorial counterparts in both medium and intended audience effect. This paper will examine a photograph of a well-known modernist photographer, Alfred Stieglitz, and discuss the elements of the composition that make it part of the modernism era.

Photographers adhering to the modernist ideals of the early twentieth century believed that photography should distinguish itself from the medium of painting because paintings were not as true to real life as photographs could be. Therefore, modernist photographers did not produce works of art that resembled ...

Introduction and Thesis

First published in 1922, Virginia Woolf’s Jacob’s Room was her first novel to use modernist and impressionistic techniques. This paper will show that Woolf’s methodology (the way she wrote the novel) is intimately connected with the thematic preoccupations of the author: the method mirrors the message. Jacob’s Room is commonly seen as an indictment of the sterility and emptiness of modern civilization at the start of the twentieth century and it is true that at its heart is an existential angst that is presented vividly by Woolf. However, this paper will argue that Woolf uses ...

Scholars of Australian art agree that Australian art has undergone several transformations. Australian art in the pre-colonial era were characterized by the practices of the natives, later on the coming of the colonialist led to introduction of art associated with their culture.

‘Australian contemporary art scene is divided into Australian and Aboriginal

art respectively. This is a divide originating from the colonization of Australia that began in the 1770’s, and hence, resulting in an Australian art descending from a so-called Western art practice consisting of works of art created in compliance with Western traditions (Persson 2011, 13).

Towards the end 1910, Australian art experienced massive changes ...

Q- How we see post-modernistic approach in John Barth`s short story & in what way? John Barth's short story "The Night Sea Journey" is an example of a post modernistic approach. Postmodernism actually means, treating a thing or a character in such a way that is completely different from what it actually is. For example in this short story we first see a person talking, later we realise that it is a sperm who was the narrator in the entire story. Right from the beginning the spermatozoa addresses himself as a person who is in doubt, wonder & despair. The sperm narrating the story as human ...

The modernist period saw a departure from traditional modes and ways of thinking and creating art. Occurring shortly after the Victorian period, the modernist period deliberately moved away from its corseted ancestry, aiming to tell the same stories but in different modes. Among these poets was Robert Frost, whose life spanned from the end of the Victorian period into the mid-1960s. Frost was a notable poet, although not necessarily a modernist: he celebrated individuality, man’s connection with nature, and a simplicity in basic truths—he also never completely broke away from traditional forms of poetry. In his poems “The Pasture,” “Mowing,” and “ ...

Criticism involves the utilization of standards in order to make a judgment for the purpose of bringing positive change. Critical theory argues that we should be inquisitive about the production of enlightenment its dissemination and its connection to influence and how this impacts on the individuals; how it limits and contributes to the enhancement of our freedoms (Art 2011). Are we bound to a dominating freedom system or does it offer us a liberating system of government? The theory originates from the Frankfurt school in Germany.

Critical theorists begin with the thought that men and women are essentially enclosed in a world that ...

A modernist society is defined to be a transition from traditional system of society to present world of twenty first century society. Modernist society is characterized by people living in a developed manner, with more civilized advancements.

As caution note, it suggests that present day Islamic views may not be strictly divided as this book’s placements might propose that not well-informed reader.

Introduction Organizational theory is theories that are developed by various philosophers to understand and explain the role of organizational structure and management in an organization. It helps to study the organization and management that provides help to the managers to understand the organizational and management behavior of the organization. Organizational theory mainly depends on three perspectives. These three perspectives are modernist perspective, symbolic interpretive perspective and post-modern theory. These perspectives have their different approaches to explaining the organizational structure to the managers of an organization (Hall and Quinn, 1983). The modernist theories depend on the objectives of focusing ...

Harlem Renaissance is a conceptual manifestation of the blossoming African American culture with particular focus on creative arts. Through considerable inclination to embrace musical, literary and visual arts, Harlem Renaissance accorded artists the opportunity to re-conceptualize the racial stereotypes that had influenced the relationships of the black people within the spectrum of heritage. According to Houston (1989), the period of Harlem Renaissance informed the artistic commentary on the ability of the blacks to break away from the bondage of the Victorian moral value on the basis of the bourgeois shame that characterized racist belief. With regard to this, it ...

Abstract – This paper talks about the study of modernism concept in contrast to the mid century style and its progress till date Modernism has not only changed the definition of a lot of things around us but also has a different meaning with time. Whether it is the dressing sense of the young generation or the look of an apartment block they all seem to reflect a drastic change in design and statement however one important thing is that its looks as if the old-is-new trend when we’re talking about Mod in today’s sense. The world has changed ...

Modernism combines a lot of literary directions and styles. It was rooted in literature with a new treatment of human being and it was focused on something atypical and personal. Besides, its main feature is to depict reality as a kind of absurdity and chaos. Personality is represented in the context of isolation from society. Society, in turn, has irrational and alogical rules, which are difficult to comply. The stream of consciousness belongs to one of the most prominent ways of modernism. The stream of consciousness in fiction is an extreme form of the inner monologue, which makes and imitates immediate ...

The commencement of the twentieth century introduced many changes in people’s lives. Numerous inventions emerged such as the telephone, airplane, and automobile, amongst others. In response to the particular changes that resulted in the acceleration of thoughts and life, a surge of experimental movements termed as modernists emerged. They explained the radical changes that took place all over the world. Individualism and experimentation became values that were discouraged earlier, but they now came to life. This article will coherently discuss how modernism was set into motion through various cultural shocks and the current traits it exhibits today. Modern ...

1. James Weldon Johnson “The Creation” Johnson’s poem “The Creation” describes the creation of the world and humanity. However, it differs slightly from the ‘classical’ description of the story. Judeo-Christian concept of God regards God as an omnipotent and infallible superhuman. Creation of the world was deliberate and the meaning of each item created is described, “And God said, ‘Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.’”; “Then God said, ‘Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their ...

Introduction: Architecture is an important part of man’s contribution to the built environment and several styels have developed over the years. There have been several architects who have contributed important and crucial public buildings over the years but nobody has come to the forefront of such styles as Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers or perhaps, Norman Foster. After World War II, the new style of “High-tech” architecture was born. Two brilliant well-known architects of this time period are Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. These architects incorporated elements of high tech industry and advanced structural technology into ...

- Introduction Alain Badiou is a French philosopher, born in 1937 to a war-ravaged France. Throughout the years, he has written a number of important texts; the two most important of these texts were Being and Event and Logics of Worlds. As philosophical texts, they caused a great deal of noise and discussion in the philosophical community. Badiou has addressed a number of important philosophical concepts in these texts, including the concepts of truth and being-- the latter of which became the subject of one of his most important texts, Being and Event. To discuss his views on these subjects, Badiou often ...

The term cuisine refers to characteristic cooking style practices and traditions. It is associated with a particular culture and refers to a range of food prepared by a person, restaurant, cultural societies, and countries. Different types of cuisines are named after their geographic regions from where they originate and are influenced by the locally available ingredients in the area. The difference in availability of ingredients creates variant dishes that are unique to that location. In the book “Modern Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking” the term is coined from the cultural revolution and modernist movements in fine art, dance, music, ...

“Banksy” is the pseudonym of a contemporary avant-garde street artist who has challenged the public with his provocative and often difficult to classify art. According to some, he is simply a vandal or “guerilla artist” (Mitchell, “Britain: The Strengths”). However, the acceptance of his work at venues as distinguished as the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has placed him in the company of the artistic elite (Betbeze, “Banksy: A Postmodern Pioneer”). One piece in particular has gained quite a lot of attention recently. In his adaptation of “The Gleaners” by the French painter Jean-Franç ...

Abstract

The paper tries to analyse these modernity and post-modernity in cinematic context. For this comparative analysis the researcher has taken two cinematic works. The initial focus of the paper is the study of the term modernity with its elements. These elements have been analyzed in the context of Charlie Chaplin’s cinematic work. The paper then discusses ...

Robert Frost, an American poet of the late 19th century was dubbed as one of America’s finest poets. Literally, his poems reflect the serene appreciation of quiet living in the countryside, the simple appreciation over small things and the values of life (Fagan, 33). In this paper, I would like to argue that Robert Frost’s poems reflect individuality, despite the gentle poetic words of his poems. Normally, a reader might perceive Frost as an ‘effeminate; due to the quality of his chosen words. Most poets at the time of war use a much stronger voice in order to express ...

Postmodernism is a movement of art that emerged in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. Among all art movements, this one is considered to be the most controversial (Victoria and Albert Museum, 2014). This movement defies definition and is said to have fundamentally introduced an unstable mix of theoretical and theatrical. It was majorly multifaceted and was characterized by elements ranging from the luxurious to the completely ridiculous (Victoria and Albert Museum, 2014). This new brand of art is considered to have shattered some of the previously established ideas and styles as well as generally introducing radical freedom to ...

Introduction

The Death and Life of Great American Cities authored by Jane Jacobs was the most influential book of her time. First published in 1961, it made an attack on the objectives and principles of modernist, orthodox planning of the city and rebuilding in the post-war period in the USA. The book was written in reaction to the devastating outcome of the urban refurbishment in the post-war period. She makes a direct attack on what she terms "orthodox" city planning and reconstruction. She points out the failures of modern city planning, arguing how the various institutions of intellectual planning history have ...

Understanding modernism and postmodernism first requires one to comprehend the use of these terms. According to Houffman, these words can be viewed as time periods or as philosophical systems (2008). When discussing them as philosophies, it is likewise paramount to deliberate them as “isms” because each epoch had several diverse approaches. When examining them as time phases, the time periods are defined by the dominant philosophical system of the time. In other words, from the start of history to the 1650's, the dominant way of viewing the world was consistent with the pre-modern philosophical system. However, in late 1650's, ...

There exists various theories that attempt to catalogue how the executive exercises its powers. However, the predominant two dealt in this work are constitutional theory and the modern theory on the presidency. While both model acknowledges the presidency as a constitutionally set out office, they differ in the powers of the office holder. Constitutional theorist view Article II of the constitutional as the exclusive source of presidential powers of the presidency. Modernists on the other hand, posit that the head of the executive as any powers that are not judicial or legislative. Such a difference in roles account for their differing ...

The Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft AEG Turbine Factory was built between 1908 and 1909 by the early modernist artist, innovator, architect, and painter Peter Behrens. Behrens was born in Hamburg in 1868, and he died in Berlin in 1940. Behrens first studied as a painter and a woodcutter, but by the turn of the century had abandoned it in favor of the applied arts. Behrens became involved in the German labor movement, and he was influenced by nationalist ideas to fortify the middle class at the time, and was influenced by the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche and the early ideals that formed ...

According to Habermas (1983), the notion of “project of modernity” came into focus during the period of the eighteenth century. It is worth mentioning that the spirit of aesthetic modernity discussed by the philosopher was extremely striking in the works of Baudelaire, avant-garde movements, Dadaism and surrealism. At this very time, Bergson presents his philosophy of the new time, showing the elusiveness, ephemerality and discontinuity of life. That’s is why the way of modernist representation of art is rather abstract and ambiguous. The representatives of modernism were rebelling against the whole normative system claiming that they have no ...

Textual Analysis In 1967, Michael Fried published an essay "Art and Objecthood" in which he gave a comparison of modernist art and minimal art, and criticizes minimal art – or as he preferred to call it as “literalist” art. According to Fried, literalist art has largely ideological nature and does not belong to the modernist concept of painting and sculpture. Literalist art and theory works on shape as a given property of objects rather than as a kind of object in itself, i.e. objecthood is not present, and the conditions of art are in direct conflict. He described that “minimalism” or “ ...

What is modern photography? Modern photography, also known as modernist photography, refers to the trends of photography that started in the first half of twentieth century in which photographers use camera as a tool to focus on an object or objects and emphasize on formal qualities. They try to be more abstract or unusual and not narrative. Modernism features development of modern industrial societies. In modern photography, artists moved away from simulating other forms of art such as painting and drawing. Many photographers have given many innovations to this art to establish it as an independent art form. ...

Personal Political Views: Dynamics of Being a Conservative

In the United States of America, the two main political groupings are the Democrats and the Republicans. Whilst the Democratic Party adopts modernist views on issues and ideas, the Republicans support traditional ideas and promote the fundamental concept of the founding of the United States – property owning democracy and Capitalism. The two ideas come together to define political discourse and shape the fundamental basis of public policy and organization in the country. As an individual, I support the Conservative school of political thought. This paper will critically analyze the position of Conservative structures in government and political issues in ...

Analysis of the Underpinnings of the Conceptual Art Movement

Introduction The Conceptual Art Movement challenged prevalent notions of what art should be as exemplified by artists including Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse as well as Richard Irving, and contemporary Conceptual artist Richard Este discussed in this academic evaluation. Conceptual artists originally rebuffed the name given the body of heterogeneous groupings of their work depicting a wide variety of types and styles of art (Green 200l). By 1970, the Conceptual Art Movement rejection of traditional definitions of art set their work apart internationally. Still controversial in the 21st century, this document provides an analysis of the underpinnings of ...

The living conditions in Victorian London and other industrialized cities, caused by migration and economic restructuring, led to revolts, middle class fears of working class revolts and a growing number of researchers and reformers interested in learning more about or improving conditions in cities. There were significant fears of revolt in London in the 1880s following the 1884 Reform Act. The rapid growth of urban population created various problems and required ...

Introduction

Since its inception some twenty thousand years ago, human civilization has grown enormously and has spread all over the entire globe in past few centuries. The vastness of human civilization is managed through institutions – the institutions of education, state, law, religion, family, marriage etc. These institutions are all interrelated. Stability and order in the society are primary purposes of these institutions. The functioning of all these institutions is based on certain principles and the central to these principles is the principle of infinite value of human life. Killing of a human life stands in opposition to the principle of infinite ...

Abstraction entails the use of visual language of form to create compositions that exist with some extent of independence from their worldly visual references. This is a trend that has permeated in art since the renaissance era. While most abstraction was seen in paintings and sculptures, modernist artists are incorporating this technique in films. This has been very apparent through many films that we have watched throughout the course. Abstraction imageries have tempered the plots to good effect. The imagination is that these were deliberates attempts to communicate certain perspectives. This paper explores this possibility citing two films that we ...

Literary Criticism of T. S. Eliot’s Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock

Introduction

The poem Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock feels as fresh to the readers now as it did to Ezra Pound when he first read it. Among other traits, Prufrock exhibits qualities of a characteristic example of modernism in literature, a literary work from the era of literary history that stood towering for its capability for never repeating the same act twice. The poem is a great example of characteristic qualities of modernist poetry namely fragmentation, montage and objective correlative. The narrator T.S. Eliot’s Love Song of J ...

The poet, Eliot, reflects on the masterpieces of the Modernist Movement that shows the character traits of Modernism. Eliot the modernist poet, experiments with the structure and form of the poem. This shows him to be experimental as well as innovative. The “Love Song” was indeed an innovation technically and it was intrigued by the idiom and the broken sequences of the French symbolist. The poem is unique in various senses. It proclaims a complete break with the traditional valuation of poetry as something serious (Sarker, 57). The main theme of this poem is paralysis. The root of paralysis ...

(Unit: Art and Architecture) In 1927, Constantin Brancusi made a bronze sculpture to capture the essence of birds in flight. The sculpture aptly known as Bird in Space was subject to alterations that Brancusi made to go further and not merely do them differently. Although he did not label himself a modernist, his works embody the principles that have come to be associated with the modernist era. Modernism is thought to be the philosophy, a style and ideology of modern art. Artists of this period sought to create a new world, their version of the world, a new conception rather than an ...

Robert Frost was one of the most preeminent modernists and existentialists of his time, and his poem “Home Burial” demonstrates the various aspects that made up his modernism quite well. Telling the tale of a domestic dispute that occurs between a frantic woman and her taciturn husband at the death and burial of their young child, Frost showcases the nihilism and despair that occurs when characters and poets alike look at the fragility of human life and relationships. Through his sparse, dialogue-heavy prose, Frost creates a stark, grounded feel to his poem, which is very much in line with modernist/existentialist poetry. “ ...

Kinship is arguably the most complicated avenue of human sociology currently known to man. This is because kinship systems transcend general knowledge and even delve more into a cultural and even spiritual realm. Kinship is by all means a contentious issue in any culture currently in the world. The interesting thing about kinship systems all over the world is that they tend to dictate the role and behavior of every member of the kinship. Every individual therefore has a role to play and the acceptability of that individual depends greatly on the level of perfection to which the individual performs their predetermined ...

- Explain the process of Gleichschaltung and give some concrete examples. What was Gleichschaltung? How "successful" was it before the end of the Nazi regime in May 1945? Gleischaltung was the achieving of total power in Germany by Hitler and the Nazi Party confirming that there was only one person who was really in command. Hitler set about achieving this through various means which included the complete denuding of state power and parliamentary process and centralizing everything in what was called the ‘FuhrerPrinzip’ which intrinsically meant that the Fuhrer was all powerful (Kershaw p 75). The process of ...
