41. Postmodernism Many modernist works try to uphold the idea that works of art can provide the According to Frederic Jameson, modernism and postmodernism are cultural http://www.colorado.edu/English/ENGL2012Klages/pomo.html

Postmodernism Postmodernism is a complicated term, or set of ideas, one that has only emerged as an area of academic study since the mid-1980s. Postmodernism is hard to define, because it is a concept that appears in a wide variety of disciplines or areas of study, including art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, communications, fashion, and technology. It's hard to locate it temporally or historically, because it's not clear exactly when postmodernism begins. Perhaps the easiest way to start thinking about postmodernism is by thinking about modernism, the movement from which postmodernism seems to grow or emerge. Modernism has two facets, or two modes of definition, both of which are relevant to understanding postmodernism. The first facet or definition of modernism comes from the aesthetic movement broadly labeled "modernism." This movement is roughly coterminous with twentieth century Western ideas about art (though traces of it in emergent forms can be found in the nineteenth century as well). Modernism, as you probably know, is the movement in visual arts, music, literature, and drama which rejected the old Victorian standards of how art should be made, consumed, and what it should mean. In the period of "high modernism," from around 1910 to 1930, the major figures of modernism literature helped radically to redefine what poetry and fiction could be and do: figures like Woolf, Joyce, Eliot, Pound, Stevens, Proust, Mallarme, Kafka, and Rilke are considered the founders of twentieth-century modernism.

42. From Modernism To Postmodernism Postmodernism is often characterized as a critique of modernism and the Modern art. 1. Originality and Genius In art, the notion of originality is http://homepage.newschool.edu/~quigleyt/vcs/pomo.html

From Modernism to Postmodernism Three Key Concepts Modernism is generally used as a way of referring to an aesthetic approach dominant in European and American art and literature in the Twentieth Century. The principles of formalism and the autonomy of art are key features of modernism. 2. The "project of Modernity " can be thought of as the development of science, philosophy and art, each according to its own inner logic. [See Habermas, "Modernity - An Incomplete Project"; cf. Greenberg, "Modernist Painting".] This links the concept of modernity to the concept of modernism as it was articulated by Greenberg. 3. The concept of the avant-garde is that of a loosely organized oppositional force and challenge to the dominant artistic culture. The avant-garde is often thought of as part of the "inner logic of modernism" - the built in source of contradiction or critique that moves art forward. (Note that this assumes a model of progress as part of the inner development of the arts and culture.) Postmodernism is often characterized as a critique of modernism and the project of modernity. It is best understood as part of a cultural shift which has been felt in science, philosophy and the arts.

45. Haber's Art Reviews: The Postmodern Paradox The postmodern paradox how modernism and Postmodernism need each other, fromreviews by John If modernism no longer fits, for art or society, then why? http://www.haberarts.com/postdox.htm

The Postmodern Paradox John Haber in New York City Baudelaire the Postmodern Start with a poet, a tireless defender of avant-garde painting: This life, this modern life, is a hospital where each patient is obsessed with the desire to change beds. Charles Baudelaire preceded Modernism, but he did not require the gift of prophecy. It is not just his love of Edouard Manet's generation and a new French taste . No, he breathed the modern condition and its artistic form in the night air of the city. If there is a postmodern condition, it cannot even be stated consistently much less cured. Like a right-wing fantasies of the welfare state, Postmodernism is a hospital where the beds must remain empty. Modernism demanded one thing: make it new . If I discard it, I have to find something else, something new. And so I am modernist. If I discard the aim of making it new, then I must do something other than Modernism. But that means something new. Instead of the postmodern condition, one ought to speak of a postmodern paradox. Reasons and reasons why No wonder that proponents of a new cultural era sound so otherworldly. They might be fierce post-cold war ideologues reveling in

I have therefore taken the liberty of making the map temporarily available here for your convenience. The Robert Smithson retrospective remains otherwise intact until late October, the coming of the next geologic age, or the museum's sinking underwater, whichever comes first. When it comes to art torn from visions of Central Park, competition this year has truly been fierce. Yes, coming out of the gate, or maybe The Gates , Christo and Jeanne-Claude took an early lead. But wait: Floating Island leads, as you can now see, by a nose. As a critic, I could offer to call the race, but I do not even know the finish line.

Curated by Rasheed Araeen, it attempted to address the unacknowledged presence of black artists in Britain. With Steve McQueen winning the 1999 Turner Prize and Chris Ofili representing Britain at the last Venice Biennale, the profile of black British artists has never been higher. This course examines the visibility of contemporary black and Asian artists from a variety of angles by focusing on the work of an older generation of artists, like Francis de Souza and Frank Bowling, who came to Britain in the 1950s. It considers the importance of issues of sexuality within the black art movements of the 1980s and the feminist and gay challenge posed by Lubaina Himid, Sutapa Biswas and Isaac Julien. Fundamental to the course is an examination of black aesthetics and the questions they raise about British Modernism, past and present.

As Modernism migrated from the spaces of the avant-garde to the institutions of the cultural establishment, younger artists distanced themselves from it and a new set of concerns and strategies emerged in their work, later to be labelled postmodernist. But the term remains contentious; commentators disagree on what exactly it means and on whether the shift, if there really was one, was a positive development.

49. Overview: 'The Shift From Modernism To Postmodernism' © Liverpool John Moores U Theories of modernist art are based on the notion of finding the limits of the Peter Brooker in his introduction to modernism/Postmodernism writes http://www.hku.hk/english/courses2000/7006/figitne3.htm

OVERVIEW THE SHIFT FROM MODERNISM TO POSTMODERNISM - Some critics see postmodernist fiction as a development of/from modernist fiction: "Postmodernism extends modernist uncertainty, often by assuming that reality, if it exists at all, is unknowable or inaccessible through a language grown detached from it. Postmodernism investigates instead what worlds can be projected or constructed by texts and language." (Randall Stevenson, Modernist Fiction , Harvester, 1993) - Many see Postmodernism as a reaction to modernism's monotonous universal world vision and its values of individuality, progress, and human self-determination. While modernism was serious, formally experimental, and apocalyptic, postmodernism is more often parodic, playful, and carnivalesque (transitional figures like Beckett, Nabokov, and Borges often seem to retain the pessimistic worldview). Theories of modernist art are based on the notion of finding the limits of the particular artform. Postmodernist art is by comparison, either an art of exhaustion or of celebration. - Modernism (in English fiction) has a paradoxical aesthetic unity in its emphasis on disunity, or fragmentation, as though art could contain life's chaos: could create an order. Postmodernist writing often mocks this pretension to pursue order through language and shows language breaking down or going into overdrive. For a discussion of these aspects see the section on postmodernism in David Lodge

This age is still unfolding, so new items will be added to this page as they develop. Conceptual Art (1960's - 1970's) - Conceptual Art ends the colorful definable era of "modern art". Today’s artists are no longer a part of a collective source, but have delved into new trends and ideas that seem to change from year to year. Conceptual Art helped gain this independence, and in some sense, completes a source of new freedom began by the Impressionists 100 years ago. Performance Art 1970's-Present 1. A performance art piece is unprecedented. 2. It is difficult to censor since it has a good possibility of never being done before. 3. It is usually very current. This means that it is usually relevant of today because of the short time between conception and performance. 4. Performance art can involve the audience with taste, smell and sounds not available with electronic media and not practical with conventional theater. This is due to the usually small audience. 5. Performance art is the ultimate in creativity. Since it has so many possibilities at creativity, it's essence tends to become creativity.

In the later half of the 20th century there has been mounting evidence of the failure of the Modernist enterprise. Progressive modernism is riddled with doubt about the continued viability of the notion of progress. Conservative modernism, in the United States at least, has fallen prey in the political realm to the influences of the Church in the form of the so-called religious right which in recent years especially has seriously undermined the very constitutional foundations of the whole American experiment. Since Suzi Gablik wrote her book, the communist experiment undertaken in the former Soviet Union has collapsed. Fundamentalism in nearly all of the world's major organized religions (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism) has risen sharply in recent years in direct opposition to modernism. American Christian fundamentalists still agree with Martin Luther who recognized that "Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it struggles against the divine word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God." A growing number of people believe the modernist enterprise has failed. In the search for reasons to explain this failure, questions have necessarily been raised about the whole Western humanist tradition.

M.Phil. in European Literature Fictions of Modernity Home CLAS Libraries University of Cambridge Week 1: Introduction Avant-garde / Modernism / Postmodernism Geoffrey Kantaris 1997 Seminar Paper and Annotated Bibliography All I can try to do in less than half an hour today is to sketch in extremely rapid overview some of the theoretical positions underlying the terms avant-garde, modernism, and postmodernism, peppering them with some examples inevitably torn out of context and simplified to fit the framework of my argument. But I'll have achieved what I intended if I can encourage you to follow up through the bibliography some of these ideas. The terms 'modernity' and 'modernism' are perplexing enough without the addition of the prefix 'post-'. Even the attempt to historicize modernity, to try and define its boundaries historically, is a paradoxical task because, in the words of Tony Pinkney (see bibliography ), modernity's awareness of itself as modern announces [Q] "merely the empty flow of time itself" [U], and its self-periodization is offered only as a break with the "mythic or circular temporality" (or non-temporality) of the organic community. This is to say that modernity can only define itself in terms of a temporal break with an organic past, but it is a break that has always already occurred no matter which moment one chooses as its starting point. Needless to say, this understanding of the infinite expandability of the modern, and the infinite regress of its origins, itself remains caught up within modernism's internal ideology.

PREMODERNISM, MODERNISM, AND POSTMODERNISM Excerpted from N. F. Gier, Spiritual Titanism: Indian, Chinese, and Western Perspectives (SUNY Press, 2000), chap. 2. Check the book for references. Let me say at the outset that I am not equating modernism with modernization in the sense of industrialization and urbanization. Modernism is also not necessarily Western and premodernism is not primarily Eastern. Furthermore, modernism is not something new and recent and premodernism something old and ancient. I shall argue that the seeds of modernism are at least 2,500 years old, and they are found in India as well as in Europe. Finally, I contend that we can also discern the beginnings of a postmodernist response among the ancient philosophers, most notably Confucius, Zhuangzi, and Gautama Buddha. Modernism has been described as a movement from mythos to logos, and this replacement of myth by logic has been going on for at least 2,500 years. Almost simultaneously in India, China, and Greece, the strict separation of fact and value, science and religion was proposed by the Indian
