http://www.robertwittig.com/paper50.html

Extractions: 6:24 AM 10/27/2002 Three years ago, at the end of the second millennium, the fine visual arts of Western civilisation, as represented by the powers that were, in the fine arts community at that time, had virtually lost all credibility with the vast majority of the general public. Art had not died, but modernism, and especially Post-Modernism, and whatever it was that followed Post-Modernism, had definitely died, leaving what remained of its following clinging to it, as to a bloated corpse. If Modern Art were a living creature, I would say that it had died of dissipation... as a consequence of its excesses, and unhealthy appetites. The galleries and MoMA's (Museums of Modern Art)... temples dedicated to the worship of the dead 'official art' still stood, and still stand today, but the 'action', and the passion, and the real work being done in the fine visual arts had by then, for all practical purposes, deserted the gallery scene. 'Deserted' is actually incorrect... most of the real work that is being done in the fine visual arts today was never a part of the gallery scene to begin with. No painter begins his or her career having gallery representation. One begins painting, or attends a school where one is allegedly taught how to paint, and then at some point down the road, when one's skill level reaches a certain threshold, or talent is presumably recognised, one then might expect to find an art dealer who would be interested in representing one's work, and hopefully selling the painter's work for enough money to provide a livelihood for both the painter, and the dealer, while also helping the painter to advance their career, in various ways.

Extractions: Kassel is a fair-sized city with no airport, two hours north of Frankfurt, that still benefits from some extremely ambitious and enchantingly imaginative landscaping undertaken in the days of the Landgrafen. An eighteenth-century palace of reddish stone stands on the hill of Wilhelmshohe looking out over ancient trees and artificial lakes to the city far below. The palace grounds are the site of a complicated hydraulic spectacular that periodically releases an imposing quantity of water from a reservoir on the hilltop to produce a roaring torrent, a romantic waterfall, culminating in a fifty-meter high geyser that Sunday crowds come up to admire.

http://www.sihe.ac.uk/prospect/humanities/engart.htm

Extractions: English Studies joint honours students study a range of literature including novels, poetry and plays. As well as exploring the development of the english critical tradition across the three years of the course, students are also encouraged to consider literature as process in Creative Writing modules and literatures outside of the tradition in such modules as Centre and Periphery. Art Studies combines Art History and Media studies, offering students a wide-ranging insight into the visual arts. Students gain the ability to critically reflect on a range of artistic and media related practices. They are made aware of a wide spectrum of issues and ideas, from the role of the patron in the Renaissance and the impact of photography to the environmental concerns of contemporary artists. Students are also encouraged to formulate their own views, on the basis of analysis and discussion of visual images and to consider the visual arts in their social, political and cultural context. The modules adopt a critical approach to the ways in which European visual culture has been constructed.

http://home.tiac.net/~cri/1996/moggin.html

Extractions: At one point in time there was a hot discussion in some usenet groups of post-modernism. The good moggin (not to be confused with his evil twin, Bruce) mailed me his post-modern FAQ and I offered to review it in return. Thus are good deeds rewarded in this sinful world. There are sundry schools of reviewing. I belong to that school which holds that the purpose of the review is to examine and illuminate the work in question for the reader as distinct from expository essays in which the work is an excuse for the reviewer to display his brilliance in topics of his own choosing or to serve as a literary consumers guide or yet to display the reviewers skill at verbal pyrotechnics as he savages the work in question. I also belong to that school of writing that does not shrink from writing long sentences. Thus this review is meant neither to rate nor berate but simply to view anew. There may, however, be diversions here and there as we follow Alice down rabbit holes. The work in question is labelled as an FAQ, nominally answering the question "What is Post Modernism". It is composed of three parts, the assembly, a bibliography, and a conversation. An innocent might well ask upon reading it, "What the fuck is this?". As it happens "this" is a reasonable answer in a particular mode. Before examining the FAQ let us take a slight diversion to consider questions and answers.

Extractions: FOURTH PART of a FIVE-PART ESSAY on MODERNISM I n the latter 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, while conservative modernism in the United States 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 enterprise. 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."

Extractions: FIRST PART of a FIVE-PART ESSAY on MODERNISM U ntil recently, the word "modern" used to refer generically to the contemporaneous; all art is modern at the time it is made. In his Book of the Art ("The Book of the Art") in 1437, Cennino Cennini explains that Giotto made painting "modern" [see BIBLIOGRAPHY . Giorgio Vasari writing in 16th-century Italy refers to the art of his own period as "modern." [see BIBLIOGRAPHY As an art historical term, modern refers to a period dating from roughly the 1860s through the 1970s and is used to describe the style and the ideology of art produced during that era. It is this more specific use of modern that is intended when people speak of modern art. The term modernism is also used to refer to the art of the modern period. More specifically
Postmodernism
Postmodernism, like modernism, follows most of these same ideas, rejecting boundariesbetween high and low forms of art, rejecting rigid genre distinctions
http://www.colorado.edu/English/ENGL2012Klages/pomo.html

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: encyclopaedia archives search modernism postmodernism post-industrial society post-Fordism ... further reading Most people recognise that things never stay the same. Greek philosophers were quite aware that society changed continuously. Heraclitus maintained that society was in constant flux, everything was always on the move. You cant jump in the same river twice, he maintained. Philosophers and thinkers have, throughout time, believed that society moved according to immutable and unchanging laws, that there was a driving force that drove society onward. In modern times we have looked towards the evolution of society as a progressive one. Humankind, as a result of the development of rational and scientific thinking, was not only conquering the world we live in but also looking to the stars. This progressive movement of society is associated with what has been described as modernity or modernism. It is essentially a historical period in Western culture and has its origins in the Enlightenment at the end of the 18
Madison (specific) - The Hermeneutics Of Postmodernity And After

Extractions: My "specific" perhaps best falls under the heading of "phenomenology" (and "culture" and "politics" as well). The question has been posed: "If we absorb postmodernism, if we recognize the variety and ungroundedness of grounds, but do not want to stop in arbitrariness, relativism, or aporia what comes after postmodernism ?" I believe that the beginnings of an "after postmodernism" can clearly be discerned in that philosophical discipline known as phenomenological hermeneutics The two most outstanding features of phenomenological hermeneutics from the point of view of the present discussion are (1) that it as "postmodern" as any other form of postmodern thought, but (2) unlike other forms of postmodernism ("poststructuralism," "neopragmatism"), it does not lead into the dead-end of relativism and nihilism (see my submitted paper, "Coping with Nietzsche's Legacy: Rorty, Derrida, Gadamer"). Phenomenological hermeneutics can be viewed as an ongoing attempt to draw out and articulate the radical, postmetaphysical implications of Husserl's phenomenological critique of the Tradition (see Ricoeur, "On Interpretation" in

Jackson, Post-Modernism
F. L. Jackson considers whether or how philosophy is at an end.
http://www.mun.ca/animus/1996vol1/jackson.htm

Extractions: 1 As century and millennium draw to a close the paradoxical thought preoccupying philosophers is whether or how philosophy is at an end. According to the now common opinion - among many academic philosophers, indeed, a certainty - the ideal of a universal knowledge through principles, philosophia , has long since been exposed as spurious so that no person of right mind would nowadays recognize or indulge in it as a legitimate pursuit. For the new philosophers the fact is that "philosophy" as traditionally understood is a thinking no longer relevant for a post-modern consciousness and world; if it might still have a role it can only be in some radically attenuated sense: as writing its own obituary, clearing away of the rubble of its own ruined foundations, speculating as to what it might now mean to live and think post-philosophically. 3 In this light the spirit of the times might, on considerable evidence, be described as a-philosophical through and through. But it can hardly be right to deplore this state of affairs, as traditionalists tend to do, as a kind of Roman degeneration of modern culture into mere thoughtlessness and caprice. For it must also be acknowledged that in consideration of its commitment to subjective freedom and its insistence on open discourse as sine qua non for the acceptance of any moral, intellectual or political position - not to mention the unprecedented numbers of philosophers populating contemporary universities - it could just as well be said that never has there been an age so thoroughly "philosophical" as is our own. Even those writers who would now claim to have at last overcome philosophical culture and its "logocentrism" are far from representing this eventuality as catastrophic; on the contrary, they herald it as the final liberation from an intellectual despotism, the emancipation of thought from all its past delusions.

http://homepage.newschool.edu/~quigleyt/vcs/pomo.html

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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.

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.
