Abstract:

Abstract: Ian McEwan’s novels are well-known for their ongoing conversation with turn-of-the-twentieth-century modernism. This essay argues that McEwan’s novel Saturday engages with two modernist problematics—modernist interrogation of aesthetics and the emergence of the professional classes during the modernist era. Reading McEwan’s novel through and against its modernist antecedents, Mrs. Dalloway and Howards End , provides a means of understanding how, in modernist novels, a discourse of literary and aesthetic value exists as a function of the tension between leisure-class and professional-

Abstract:

This paper examines modernist aesthetics in modern African poetry. The aim of this undertaking is predicated on the background that modern African poetry is a continuum of the 20th century European modernist literature. A study of this nature is significant because it critically hints on the origin of modern African poetry, its canonisation, and its future as a literary form. The study starts with an examination of the concepts of ‘modern’ and ‘modernism’, first as separate terminologies and then as interwoven concepts. The paper further examines the nature and form of

Abstract:

Aesthetics is the reflexive construction of the concepts necessary for the comprehension of the stakes and meaning of art in the light of the history of the dominant art of the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century: modernism. The task of aesthetics is to vindicate modernist art's own claim to mattering, to being significant, indeed unavoidable, for our collective selfunderstanding of ourselves as denizens of modernity.

Abstract:

A survey of European trends and works suggests that the extent to which operatic modernism resists the pull of ideology may well depend on two factors: the post-Wagnerian recuperation of the primacy of voice and the proclivity of modernist operatic texts and music to engage (rather than repress) nostalgia. One work not usually included in modernist canons, Erich Korngold's Die Tote Stadt, presents an interesting model.

Abstract:

Throughout the 1950s, during the heyday of socialist realism, “modernism” as a concept is virtually nonexistent in Romanian literature and arts. Only in the late 1950s and in the early 1960s theories about a modernist style – in literature, but also in cinema – start to reemerge. The main issue with modernism during that era is that it is closely associated with the so-called decadent and bourgeois Western art. In order to be adapted to a Socialist framework, modernism has to be refashioned. As such, a hybrid, tactical modernism – political in content, open to experimentation in matters regard

Abstract:

The article defines the specifics of the influence of ideas about Nothingness on the artistic philosophy and aesthetics of modernism. It is stated that the feeling of the "liminal" time created an ambiguous perception of the world: the mystical fear of "sinking into Nothingness" together with the "dying" world, the bitterness of the loss of the "former" world were combined with the expectation of an inevitable revival. Nothingness becomes a system-forming factor in the artistic philosophy and aesthetics of modernism. Modernism objects both to Nietzschean concept of the "death of God" and to th

Abstract:

This essay argues not only that Wilhelm Worringer’s concept of the urge to abstraction from his work of art history Abstraction and Empathy (1908) prefigures Sigmund Freud’s notion of the death drive in Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920) but also that Worringer’s aesthetics of nonrepresentational art solves in advance some key problems that Freud had in accounting for the modernism of his day. Though Worringer and Freud did not appear to ever engage with each other, their two central concepts share a high degree of compatibility, and it is possible to think of Worringer’s urge to abstraction

Abstract Modernist literature was obsessed with a metaphysical problem regarding the word. A series of formal and material experiments started to address the word’s self-referentiality and aesthetic autonomy, against the backdrop of a new sociocultural milieu in the early twentieth century. To discover how this materialisation of language explored the interplay of literary and artistic modernisms, this paper will critically scrutinise Mina Loy’s and James Joyce’s radical reforms of writing and try to answer the following questions: how did Loy’s multifarious artisthood and poem-writing exchang

Beset by a range of internal inconsistencies and contradictions, modernism never has been able to expunge completely that which has been constructed as its ‘Other’.

In this paper we chart a return to the aesthetics of modernism in the retailing, marketing, and consumption of household furniture during the 1990s as a means of extending existing assessments of modernist discourses.

Both Malevich's painting Black Square (1915), his definitive representation of Suprematism, and Woolf's To the Lighthouse (1927), her most painterly novel, apply figurations of darkness to indicate an infinite cosmos of restful nothingness as supreme reality or the essence of existence.

Despite its global diffusion, the imperial project has remained to be viewed in terms of the impact of the colonial powers over the colonized.

Critical discussions of Joyce from that period have a lot to do with the discursifyingof modernist obscenities.

Felix Guattari was a modernist. He not only liked a lot of modernist artists, but his ‘aesthetic paradigm’ found its generative diagram in modern art.

Also important for Guattari's diagram of the ‘modern’ were the forces of abstraction, autonomy and immanent critique. Together these elements construct an artwork that is radically singular and separate, composed of a-signifying, a-temporal

The paper considers the issues of modernist and pragmatic discourses in the works of the Ancient Greek writer of the 2nd century AD. Lucian of Samosata. His famous work The Passing of Peregrinus is placed in the conceptual field of “Theory of the avant-garde” by Renato Poggioli, terminologically close to the conception of the menippea of Mikhail Bakhtin. Ancient modernism and pragmatism are analyzed in connection with the modern European intellectual history and general theory of culture. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to separate the elements of modernist aesthetic

Abstract:

The evolution of contemporary interior design in India is deeply intertwined with the country's encounters with Western history, particularly during colonialism, post-independence modernism, and globalization. This study explores how Western architectural ideologies, spatial planning techniques, and aesthetic preferences have influenced Indian interior spaces over time. The colonial era introduced Victorian, Gothic, and Neoclassical styles, leading to hybrid aesthetics such as Indo-Saracenic and Anglo-Indian designs. Post-independence, Indian modernist architects adopted functional and minimal

Abstract:

The modernist privileging of irony and detached contemplation frequently combined with a recognition of the social and artistic significance of affect. The relation between melodramatic structures of feeling and modernist innovation is evident in two plays of the interwar years: Bertolt Brecht and Elisabeth Hauptmann's Happy End and W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood's On the Frontier. Scholars need to develop a vocabulary that complements the customary critical emphasis on modernist “irony,” “estrangement,” and “difficulty” and that can be used to reconstruct the full force of the modernis

Abstract: Written after the proto-modernist novels Moby-Dick and Pierre , both of which elicited censure from contemporary critics, Herman Melville’s “Benito Cereno” is recognized as an enigmatic and symbolic work that invites deep reflection on the status of literature, language, and signification. However, critics have not presented “Benito Cereno,” and more specifically the dramatic narrative that occurs aboard the slave ship San Dominick , as a crucial text vis-à-vis Melville’s experimental progression toward the genesis of the modern novel. This essay argues that in “Benito Cereno,” Melvi

Abstract:

The article will juxtapose the modernist, contemporary and post-contemporary general conceptualization of art and aesthetic appearance of an artwork. Even though all three conceptualizations can be understood as intertwined because they are largely established in mutual relations, for our purpose they will be analyzed in terms of the basic epistemological terrain on which art enters the Western tradition of knowledge and power: the terrain of aesthetic education. The conceptualization of modernist art/artwork will mainly draw from its link with the autopoietic image of artwork/artistic creativ

Abstract:

Abstract Theodor W. Adorno’s governing procedure in Aesthetic Theory is to reconstruct the terms and concepts of traditional aesthetics and the philosophy of art through the actuality of artistic modernism in its various guises. The necessity of this procedure turns on the recognition that modernist art has become a stand-in for the now-wrecked authority of living nature. Adorno contends that “natural beauty,” as elaborated by Immanuel Kant, is the recognition of that now-lost experience of nature, and that art beauty must be thereby interpreted as becoming the reconstructed afterimage of natu

Do the terms “modernism” and “postmodernism” objectively characterize the trends in the music history of the 20th century or are they merely theoretical abstractions? How can they be applied to the music history of specific countries, for example, when analysing a local historical experience? The article will consider these questions primarily to focus on the representation of the modernist and postmodernist aesthetics in the stylistic developments of the 20th-century Latvian music history.

Abstract:

The analysis sets out from the exhibition entitled Ressource Kunst. Die Elemente Neu Gesehen. The author attempts to outline an area which emerges from the encounter of ecology (as a domain of reflection about the human surroundings) and aesthetics (as a discipline concerned with sensory experience) from the standpoint of post-modernism. The inquiry thus focuses on the moment in which contemporary artistic practices “internalize” ecological issues. Aesthetics becomes a branch of ecology, but at the same time ecology becomes a domain within aesthetics. According to the author, post-modernism ha

Penny Farfan's Women, Modernism, & Performance, six intricately woven essays about a handful of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century female artists, is an absorbing study centered on the premise that “the feminist-modernist aesthetics of key figures in the fields of dance and literature developed in part out of their engagement with dramatic literature and theatrical practice, making their lives and work a part of theatre history” (2). Employing broad definitions of both performance and modernism, Farfan casts a wide net, adopting what she describes as a “‘maximalist’ approach” (11

This article exposes theses on the Eminescian model as the irradiating center of the Romanian literary canon. The poetry of the 60s and 80s of Bessarabia is conceived as ,rupture with the dogmas of socialist realism and a return to the models Arghezi, Blaga, Bacovia, Barbu. Neomodernism, through rhysome ruptures, has a decisive impact on the metamorphoses of sixty/seventy poetry. The testing of aesthetics produces a change in the concept of poeticity, a mutation from the ardent east-ethics of the generation of Grigore Vieru and Liviu Damian to the aesthetic „liberated from sentimentality”, to

Following an analysis of Kirill Ryabov’s works published in the years 2021 and 2022, the author finds that in Ryabov’s metamodernist aesthetic paradigm the modernist communicative model is preserved alongside some concepts of postmodernist aesthetics. Modernism, postmodernism and metamodernism appear as three stages of the single itinerary with a goal of overcoming the logic of binary oppositions and achieving heteroglossia and dialogue (M. Bakhtin) as a new artistic structure. Through the re-introduction of the depth of emotion and the humanistic dimension, metamodernism strives to comprehend

In this way, art is seen to be of rather recent origins with the rise of the modern world. Nevertheless, this ran its course and postmodernism not only railed against the fatalism of the premodern, but also the narrative of the modern and the artistic achievements of this new aesthetic.

Interpretative framework of the specificity of the national architectural idiom also includes a discursive view of the relationship between the periphery and the center.
