It is no effort for me to confess that he has achieved some valid pages, but those pages cannot save me, perhaps because what is good belongs to no one, not even to him, but rather to the language and to tradition. (Borges 1) This is very obviously an example of Borges stressing a universal emotional challenge to self, how so often the individual gets lost in the public image and fails to integrate the internal thoughts to public expectations
I am an even more anonymous presence against an even more anonymous background." (Calvino 14) the casual and conversational dialogue in the narrative parts of the work are also responsive to a rejection of the traditional literary conventions, very much a "whose on first" feel
The social construction of selfhood is about the meanings and understandings associated with the public self, the self that is visible and known to others. Drawing on the work of Durkheim, who also postulated a framework for understanding the collectively created conceptions of the public self and the means by which these conceptions are produced, Callero notes, "the public person is not made in the image of a unique self; rather, an interpretive picture of a unique self is made in the image of the public person" (Callero, 2003)
Rushing and Frentz echo the critical evaluation of postmodern thought "If postmodernism offers no way out of our current condition, we must now ask why. Why is postmodernism unable to get beyond the fragmentation it critiques so compellingly?" (Rushing and Frentz, 1995: 23)
*)." In the modernist paintings, this philosophy reveals itself in the late work of the artist Francis Hodgkins (Buchanan, Lain, Dunn, Michael, Eastmond, Elizabeth, and Hodgkins, Francis, 1994, p
Impressionism was in fact a rejection of the Victorian classical training, and this, says Norman F. Cantor (1988), was a rejection that indicative of the modernist thinking (Cantor, p
Modernism and Postmodernism (Question #2) There are differing opinions as to the point in history that is marked by the advent of modernism. Clement Greenberg (1982) says that he identifies the modernist period as commencing with the philosophy of Kant (Frascina, Francis, Harrison, Charles, and Paul, Deidre, 1982, p
*). However, it's ending point is defined by some theorists as coming to an end with the onset of the "pop culture," in the mid 1960s (Harrison, Sylvia, 2001, p
Music had the Sex Pistols, perhaps the most excessive musical group that represented everything dark about the pop culture. The Sex Pistols, like the Situationists before them, denied everything as it existed at the time (Marcus, Griel, 1989, p
3)." It cannot go without saying that the post modernist is also defined by politics, where left wing liberalism and right wing conservatism come face-to-face in an almost hostile way (Rosenau, Pauline Marie, 1992, p
James J. Sheehan (2000) cites as his idea of the onset of modernism as commencing with Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) (Sheehan, p
35). In literature, the modernists were authors like James Joyce, Ezra Pond and Ernest Hemingway (Wagner-Martin, Linda, 1998, pp
Eastern philosophy has championed constructivism for thousands of years, making postmodernism seem derivative. Postmodernism has the potential to seem nihilistic, which is why Frederick Nietzsche is credited as being one of the forerunners of postmodern theory (Aylesworth)
When applied to the creative arts, postmodernism manifests in a variety of ways. One of the hallmarks of postmodernism is synthesis and pastiche (Keep, McLaughlin, and Parmar)
One of the hallmarks of postmodernism is synthesis and pastiche (Keep, McLaughlin, and Parmar). Another is the impetus to defy convention (Salberg, Stewart, Wesley, and Weiss)
Postmodernism places the locus of power and control within the group dynamic rather than the therapist always being the center hub. Recent developments, for instance, in the use of an "absent but implicit" therapeutic paradigm show that in any experience individuals must make numerous connections with past experiences, provide past knowledge, and be able to contrast their own foundation with the social or psychological impetus of any type of intervention (Carey, et al
The same is true in accepting and managing a diverse workforce -- those over 55 perhaps vs. those under 25 (Ungar, 2004)
Buildings may incorporate symbols to make a statement or simply to delight the viewer." (Craven, 1) Indeed, at the turn of this century, the violent mutation created by the Industrial Revolution led the way to a whole host of new philosophical precepts, artistic innovations and technological leaps in architecture and interior design, furniture and fabrics, glass and tableware, jewelry and perfume bottles, posters and wallpaper, textiles and lighting
According to Paradis (2008), "postmodernism coincides with both the historic preservation movement and the new urbanism movement quite well. Contemporary skyscrapers (office towers) and their designers are basically thumbing their collective noses at the now-bland 'anonymous glass box' architecture of the International era" (Paradis, 1) The unique qualities of the Pirelli Tower are a useful example of this nuance
Lyotard, a foremost authority in postmodernism, contends, as aforementioned, that the transition to a postmodern society was underway concurrently with the development of modernism. (Lyotard 1984) One of the primary characteristics of postmodernism for Lyotard is an alteration of the status of knowledge within a society in the postmodern age
