Michl, Jan. "A CASE AGAINST THE MODERNIST REGIME IN DESIGN EDUCATION." International Journal of Architectural Research: ArchNet-IJAR 8, no. 2 (2014): 36. http://dx.doi.org/10.26687/archnet-ijar.v8i2.408.
Full textAbstract:
The article argues that the present dominance of the modernist design idiom, and the general aesthetic inferiority of existing non-modernist stylistic alternatives, is a consequence of the fact that design schools have for decades banished non-modernist visual idioms from their curricula. The author discusses original arguments for the single-style / single taste modernist regime of contemporary design schools, and contends that the modernist vision of a single unified style, which prompted the banishment, was rooted in a backward-looking effort to imitate the aesthetic unity of pre-industrial, aristocratic epochs. Against the received view of modernism as an expression of modernity, the author argues that the modernists were, on the contrary, intent on suppressing the key novel feature of the modern time: its pluralism in general and its aesthetic diversity in particular. It is further asserted that the design philosophy behind the modernist regime was largely self-serving, aimed at securing the modernists an educational and aesthetic monopoly. The author pleads for transforming the modernist design education into a modern one, where a pluralism of aesthetic idioms and positions replaces the current one-style-fits-all approach.

Full textAbstract:
This paper focuses on the muslim modernist exegesis. In the mid-nineteenth century Muslim modernist exegesis emerged under the influence of Western science in various parts of Muslim lands such as India and Egypt. Some main characteristics of this approach in the early Muslim modernism are as follows: A central focus on the Quran as the primary text; a sceptical approach to ḥadīth; emphasis on ijtihad (independent reasoning), emphasis on a new systematic theology (new kalām), a critical approach to classical Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), and interpreting the Qur’an in the light of reason and modern sciences. The current literature describes Muhammad ʿAbduh (d. 1905) as a modernist salafī or intellectual modernism (by Fazlur Rahman). The paper holds the view that because the more emphasis is given to the Qur’an rather ḥadīth in ʿAbduh’s thought, ‘intellectual modernism’ seems the best description for ʿAbduh’s way. It also argues that what ʿAbduh attempts to do is tafsīrisation of other Islamic disciplines through his text-based approach.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the reciprocal relationship between modernism and Harper's Bazaar (UK) during 1929–35. In its early years this commercial fashion magazine exploited modernism's perceived exclusivity and highbrow status to flatteringly construct its aspirational readers as culturally sophisticated people. Whether printing modernist texts and artworks or parodying their experimental style, early Harper's Bazaar (UK) promoted the reception of modernist writers and artists as high cultural celebrities, whose presence in the magazine enhanced its cultural value. While insisting on the exclusivity of modernist art and literature, Harper's Bazaar (UK) simultaneously facilitated the mainstreaming of modernism by commodifying modernist texts and artworks and teaching its readers how to approach them. During the early 1930s, this article argues, Harper's Bazaar (UK) helped to establish early narratives of modernism's origins and development while marketing modernism as a desirable, high-end cultural product to its fashion-conscious audience.

Full textAbstract:
Javed Ihsas is a prominent contemporary Pashto poet, critic, and columnist. He writes poetry with the new spirit and style of the modern critical theories of literature and philosophy. In his verses, we can observe the elements of Modernism and Post-modernism as well. In this study, we explored the post-modernist elements in his poetry, especially in his Pashto poetic collection titled Ayina. The word 'Ayina' is a Pashto word that means 'The Mirror'. The very title of the collection gives a symbolic representation in the sense that it depicts a realistic picture of society. This study is an attempt to examine the Post-modernist elements in his poetry by using a post-modernist approach. The poet touches on the elements of post-modernism in his poetry such as the element of social construction; the notion that ideas, politics, and language are socially constructed, consumerism, postponement, etc. This study explores the post-modernist elements in Javed Ihsas’ poetry which are will prove a beacon light for the young poets.

This paper examines the evolution of public relations theory and practice from modernist to post-modernist perspectives. It argues that public relations (PR) has undergone a paradigm shift in response to the changing social, cultural and technological contexts of the 21st century. The paper traces the historical development of PR as a modernist discipline that aimed to establish legitimacy, credibility and trust for organizations through strategic communication. It then explores the challenges and opportunities that post-modernism poses for PR, such as the fragmentation of audiences, the emergence of new media platforms, the rise of activism and the demand for transparency and accountability. The paper proposes a post-modernist approach to PR that embraces complexity, diversity and dialogue and that recognizes the co-creation of meaning and value between organizations and their stakeholders. The paper concludes by suggesting some implications and directions for future research and practice in post-modernist PR. Received: 24 January 2025 / Accepted: 3 March 2025 / Published: 10 March 2025

Zimring, Rishona. "Ballet, Folk Dance, and the Cultural History of Interwar Modernism: The Ballet Job." Modernist Cultures 9, no. 1 (2014): 99–114. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/mod.2014.0076.
Full textAbstract:
This essay singles out the Camargo Society's 1931 production of Job as an ‘emblematic’ modernist ballet. Whereas Sacre is emblematic of the pre-war crucible of the modernist avant-garde, Job is emblematic of the culturally reparative interwar years. To approach Job as an emblematic and innovative artwork of interwar modernism, we should locate its genealogy both in the radical, liberatory, experimentalist, and primitivist energies of Sacre, and in the accessibility and identificatory experiences of galvanizing forms of popular dance. Additionally, Job was influenced by the revival of traditionalist forms of participatory dance, which answered a newfound need for reassurance, restoration, and coherence. Job is the product of multiple dance influences in an interwar context, some, but not all, conventionally ‘modernist’. Our understanding of their importance to the cultural history of both the avant-garde and interwar modernism is enhanced if we trace them and appreciate Job's innovative and reparative meanings anew.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyses the evolution of the English school’s approach to international relations from the work of the early British Committee in the late 1950s and early 1960s to its revival in the 1990s and afterwards. It argues that the school’s so-called ‘classical approach’ was shaped by the crisis of developmental historicism brought on by the First World War and by the reactions of historians like Herbert Butterfield and Martin Wight to the rise of modernist social science in the twentieth century. It characterises the classical approach, as advanced by Hedley Bull, as a form of ‘reluctant modernism’ with underlying interpretivist commitments and unresolved tensions with modernist approaches. It argues that to resolve some of the confusion concerning its preferred approach to the study of international relations, the English school should return to the interpretivist commitments of its early thinkers.

Full textAbstract:
In sociology, modernisation is often identified with secularisation. How can secularisation in the texts of modernism around 1900 be analysed? Literary history books tell us that the modernist authors were lucid analysts of their time who portrayed the process of secularisation going on around them in their dramas, novels or short stories. The article tries out a different approach: By conceptualizing secularisation as a cultural narrative, the perspective on the literary material changes fundamentally. The modernist authors were involved in shaping the idea of secularisation in the first place, in propagating it and in working on its implementation. They did not react to the process of secularisation with their texts. Instead, they were involved in the creation and shaping of the interpretative category ‘secularisation’. The article exemplifies this change in approach using a pivotal text of Nordic literary modernism, Ibsen’s Rosmersholm.

This research tries to find sufism thought by early modernist muslim from Surakarta, Kiai Moechtar Boechari (1899-1926), by tracing his religious view and Sufism thought. He was a santri and friend of K.H. Ahmad Dahlan (1868-1923) who pioneered in establish Muhammadiyah branch Surakarta. In general, as modernist muslim movement, Muhammadiyah is considered as anti-sufism. In contrast to that, Kiai Boechari paid attention to Sufism by writing a thin book, Tasawoef Tjekakan. This intellectual position is somewhat different from the mainstream modernist Islam movement. To explore this issue, this paper uses historical method by Berkhofer‟s situational approach. The result of the research points out, that firstly, religious view of Kiai Boechari is a modernist with authentic formulation, that is: purifying Tauhid, awakening scientific ethos, promoting movement of Islamic modernist, preaching Islam softly, and appreciating women‟s equality. Secondly, the character of Kiai Boechari‟s thought on Sufism seems to resemble Imam Al-Ghazali‟s mysticism of personality (transcendental mysticism), only that he modified by reducing zuhud station in order for a sufi to be involved dynamically in many aspects of life.Keywords: Kiai Moechtar Boechari, modernist muslim, sufism, Surakarta Penelitian ini berupaya mengungkap pemikiran tasawuf seorang muslim modernis awal asal Surakarta, Kiai Moechtar Boechari (1899-1926), dengan cara melacak pandangan keagamaan dan corak pemikiran tasawufnya.

Kedua, pemikiran tasawuf Kiai Boechari bercorak mistik kepribadian (transendental mistik) seperti halnya Imam Al-Ghazali.

Full textAbstract:
This Introduction contextualizes the volume in modernist tensions between belief and unbelief, and subsequent debates about the nature of secularization. An opening moment considers Pound and Woolf’s rejection of T. S. Eliot’s religious conversion as emblematic of a “subtraction” theory of secularization, in which secularity and religious belief are taken as mutually exclusive horizons of understanding. Such thinking, it is argued, has precluded a more nuanced approach. Criticism has largely ignored more complex and fragmentary religious dimensions of modernist production; or, on the other hand, taken up religion only in the narrow and anachronistic sense of traditional Christianity. This volume attempts to explore the religious dimensions of modernism in a more modernist sense: taking modernist art as a critical liminal space for exploring new modes of religious experience in complex and resonant ways -- often in open rejection of traditional modes of faith, and in authors beyond the usual suspects.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This research elaborates on the genealogy and orientation of the Muhammadiyah renewal movement as one of Indonesia’s most prominent Islamic organizations. Muhammadiyah is an Islamic modernist movement that promotes reform in various fields, such as social, political, economic, educational, and religious. This research uses qualitative research to explore the genealogy and orientation of the Muhammadiyah renewal movement as the pioneer of the Islamic modernist movement in Indonesia. This research uses a library study to explore essential data about the Muhammadiyah renewal movement using a historical-sociological approach. Meanwhile, the data collection techniques used in this research are documentation techniques originating from books, research reports, and journal articles. The data analysis used is a descriptive analysis based on valid and up-to-date literature data. Meanwhile, the theory used to analyze the genealogy and orientation of the Muhammadiyah renewal movement is social mobilization theory. The results of this research indicate that (1) the genealogy of the Islamic modernist movement in the case of Muhammadiyah is motivated by problems associated with social crisis, moral crisis, education, religion, and the response to the development of Christianization in Indonesia (2) the orientation of the Muhammadiyah renewal movement is the creation of intellectual modernism, social modernism, and spiritual modernism among generations of Indonesian Muslims.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: This paper uses a reception history approach to argue that Graham Greene’s novel The Power and the Glory should be considered a modernist text. The intense but varied affective responses of readers, along with the mythic status they attribute to the work, reveal that the novel has long been read both within and as a response to a modernist framework. Furthermore, reader responses all point to the same tension within the novel: the collision of a traditional and specific religious creed, Catholicism, with the thematic uncertainty and fragmentation of literary modernism. This tension is Greene’s contribution to the period.

The “Socialist Modernism” Project is part of an initiative by B.A.C.U. Association focused on protecting built heritage in the former socialist bloc. In that respect, we have launched a campaign for the preservation of buildings that are specific to the socialist modernist period (1955–1991). The architecture of the socialist period, more precisely the modernist tendencies in 1955–1991, is a specific trend in the evolution of architecture in the former socialist bloc. There is increasing international awareness for this trend, as indicated by the creation of scientific communities (the SocHeritage Platform, part of the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee for the 20th century). The chosen period in our study was set by historic events that led to this new architectural tendency. At the time, the approach was inspired by modernist architecture, which came to the capitalist states in Western Europe with a set of principles. In socialist countries, modernist trends first influenced the professional sphere, and through that influence, they were able to penetrate borders and the limits imposed by ideology.

Serbian nationalism has rarely been the subject of theoretical analysis. For the most part, recent work on Serbian history implicitly supports the ‘modernist’ position among nationalism theorists, which holds that nationalism is a modern phenomenon that serves the interests of the politically powerful. In this article, the Serbian nationalist movement of the 1980s will be examined in light of the major theoretical approaches to nationalism (modernism, perennialism and ethno-symbolism). Using a small group of nationalist intellectuals (Dobrica Ćosi, Borislav Mihajlovi Mihiz and Mića Popović) as its subject, it concludes that the restrictive modernist approach leads to misunderstandings of the nature of modern Serbian national identity.

In this review, I aim to analyse the catalogue «In the Eye of the Storm: Modernism in Ukraine, 1900–1930s». The project bearing the same name, for which the catalogue was prepared, commenced in the autumn of 2022 at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Madrid), essentially becoming the first extensive exhibition dedicated to the work of modernist artists in the territory of contemporary Ukraine since 2007. Modernism is an international phenomenon characterised by various movements and ideas, that incorporate local elements into art. However, post-Soviet states instrumentalised knowledge of modernism, seeking to recreate a «tradition» disrupted by the Soviet regime. This involves juxtaposing the modernist movement with socialist realism. The authors of the reviewed publication also adopted this approach: to construct a «national» past, they resorted to the cultural nationalisation of modernism. This is achieved, in part, by using terms such as «Ukrainian modernism/avant-garde», blending ideological traditions of modernity and modernism, and so on. In my text, I aim to clarify these processes and demonstrate the inappropriateness of defining the national identity of artists who worked in the territory of contemporary Ukraine from the 1900s to the 1930s, as well as the appropriation of modernism by one country or another.

In Chapter 6 of Film, Art, and the Third Culture, Murray Smith argues for a biocultural account of the emotions, which treats them as an interaction between universal and cultural dimensions. He goes on to test this approach in relation to the representation of emotions in films by considering an example from the tradition of modernist filmmaking. This article suggests that, while Smith’s case is broadly convincing, there are several ways in which it could be presented more forcefully. In particular, his discussion of the challenge of modernism to a biocultural account could be strengthened by emphasizing rather than downplaying the role that various types of cultural knowledge play in our interaction with modernist works.

The relationship between Islam and the state in the political journey in Indonesia has a journey and continues to be an endless debate or polemic. So that the next stage of the debate gave birth to two groups of Islamic political thought, namely the modernist and neo-modernist groups. The focus of the problem is how these two groups view the relationship between Islam and the state. This research is a descriptive-qualitative research with literature study and its stages. This study uses a historical approach to find analysis and answers to problems. The result of the research is that the main ideas of the two schools of modernism or neo-modernism in viewing Islam and the state must have fundamental differences, because theoretically, Islam and the state are difficult to find common ground. So that both are divided into 2 (two) thoughts, namely idealistic and realistic. However, in their idealistic framework, they both formulated a state system that was entirely based on Islamic knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
The paper starts from the assumption that the social content is not absent from the major works of Modernist literature, but merely repressed or displaced through various narrative strategies. While the early critical debate on Modernism – which started with Lukács’ writings in the 1930s – condemned this literary movement as apolitical, and too narrowly focused on the subjective, inward experience of an individual, subsequent contributors to the debate took a more balanced approach. The paper pays special attention to Fredric Jameson’s theory on the existence of repressed social meaning in Modernist works, and his view that by applying Marxist hermeneutics it is possible to discern it and show how it affects the narrative. Joseph Conrad’s novel Lord Jim (1900) is used in this paper to exemplify the features of Modernism discussed by Jameson. Some of the key scenes and motifs in the novel are analysed with a view to establishing their underlying socio-historical dimension and demonstrating how it contributes to the overall understanding of Conrad’s artistic vision.

Full textAbstract:
This article aims to argue that the distinction in both meaning and social function between “realism” and “modernism” lies in their different positions in the economic system of capitalism. The focus point of the article is “modernism” as the cultural logic of monopoly, imperialist capitalism - a logic that never meant a “break away” from “realism”. The article's dialectical and historical approach to James Joyce's modern text A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man never accepts the internal modernist logic of the text, i.e. the complete autonomy of a work of art.Drawing on Fredric Jameson’s hermeneutics of ideology and Edward Said’s dialectical criticism, the article focuses on the ideological components of A Portrait and will explore its modernity in relation to the political economy of the world that has produced it. Moreover, it will show how A Portrait, as a modernist text, has affiliations with wider fields of power and action.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainability is now replacing Modernism as the main discourse for socio–economic, technological, architectural and urban development. However, the architectural legacy of Modernism remains an inherent part of our built environment. While some tenets of Modernism align with principles of sustainable design, many are in conflict, thus creating both a tension and an opportunity for creative reinvention of existing buildings and neighborhoods. Greening Manhattan’s Modernist Legacy was a seminar taught at Cornell University’s school of architecture that investigated these questions. The seminar explored an analytical approach to retrofitting Modernbuildings that prioritized environmental responsibility while critically reinterpreting the Modern aesthetic.

Full textAbstract:
In the framework of contemporary literary theories, this paper explores Tayeb Salih’s acclaimed work, Season of Migration to the North, examining it as a postcolonial modernist novel that traverses the dynamics between the Orient and the Occident. The analysis investigates the novel to explore the conflicts between the Colonized and the Colonizer, aiming to uncover new thematic directions crucial to the relationships between Africa and Britain. The paper contends that Salih re-writes and reinterprets the history of the British Empire in Sudan by engaging with canonized western fiction, particularly Heart of Darkness, to highlight the complex intersections between East and West. As an example of post-colonial Arabic modernism, Season of Migration to the North employs a distinctive narrative approach featuring a multiplicity of voices, reflecting diverse perspectives on issues such as colonization, hegemony, hybridity, and loss of identity.

Di satu sisi, penekanan modernisme pada rasionalitas dan historisitas telah menghasilkan kristologi yang kritis-objektif. Di sisi lain, pascamodernisme yang berepistemologi pluralis menghasilkan kristologi yang subjektif. Menanggapi dan menjembatani dua sisi persoalan ini, pendekatan hermeneutis redemptive-historical diajukan sebagai pendekatan alternatif injili. Pendekatan yang berpusat pada Kristus sebagai kulminasi sejarah penebusan (seperti yang disaksikan Alkitab) ini mengaitkan tiga horizon yaitu: textual, epochal, dan canonical untuk menginterpretasikan teks Kitab Suci secara holistik. Pendekatan ini menganalisis sintaksis, konteks sastra, konteks sejarah dan genre-nya (textual horizon), mengaitkannya dengan sejarah penebusan (epochal horizon), dan melihatnya dalam terang keutuhan kanon (canonical horizon). Penggabungan ketiga unsur tersebut menekankan dinamika pemenuhan janji Allah dalam kulminasi tersebut. Dengan demikian, pendekatan hermeneutis redemptive historical dapat mengarahkan orang Kristen pembacaan dan penafsiran Alkitab yang kristosentris.

 On the one hand, the emphasis of modernism on rationality and historicity has produced a critical-objective Christology. On the other hand, post-modernism with a pluralist epistemology produces subjective Christology. Responding to, and bridging the two sides of this problem, the redemptive-historical hermeneutical approach is proposed as an alternative evangelical approach. The Christ-centered approach as the culmination of the history of redemption (as witnessed to in the Bible) links three horizons, namely: textual, epochal, and canonical to interpret the text of the Scriptures holistically. This approach analyzes syntax, literary context, historical context and its genre (textual horizon), links it to the history of redemption (epochal horizon), and sees it in the light of the canon (canonical horizon). The combination of these three elements emphasizes the dynamic fulfillment of God’s promises. Thus, the historical redemptive hermeneutical approach can lead Christians to read and interpret the Christocentric Bible.

Full textAbstract:
In the last two decades Modern architecture of the 20th century has become a primary focus for numerous global organizations, researchers, and academics who aim to preserve and sustain it. The leading parties in this endeavor are UNESCO and the International DOCOMOMO. They recognize modern heritage as tangible, authentic, carrying exceptional features and modern characteristics that reflect values, shifts, and norms of its era. Therefore, Docomomo has identified key Modernist Merits as criteria to assess the authenticity of this heritage, while UNESCO has listed many modern buildings and sites on the World Heritage List. In this respect many Iraqi modernist buildings suffer from mishandling and poor interest. Numerous have been distorted, demolished, or are on the verge of disappearing. This reflects a lack of understanding their exceptional modernist values which are worthy of preservation, and thus inefficiency in managing this heritage. Given that Intervention in modernist heritage involves adhering to guidelines set by international organization, the vague connection between criteria of DOCOMOMO and those of UNESCO clouds the process. Therefore, this article focuses on addressing the relationship between the two organizations' sets of criteria and clarifying their connection. The authors also aimed to address the national Iraqi context by assessing selected cases of modernist heritage buildings by one of Iraq’s modernism pioneers, architect Qahtan Al-Madfai, against DOCOMOMO’s criteria for modernist merits, highlighting the originality of Iraqi modernist heritage.Using a descriptive analytical approach, the theoretical sections of the paper begin by exploring the principles and characteristics of modern architecture, followed by identifying the exceptional values of modernist buildings, defined by DOCOMOMO as Modernist Merits and linking them to UNESCO's criteria. The practical part includes an experts’ survey to assess the Modernist Merits of the selected sample of Al- Madfaies’ buildings.The research results showed that Qahtaan Al-Madfai’s architecture was distinguished by a high evaluation of two Merits (exceptional features): the technological feature and the artistic aesthetic feature. While the first was fairly preserved, the second feature was affected in some buildings as a result of the mismanagement of these buildings and the lack of awareness of their values.

Full textAbstract:
The vision of modern urban planning after World War 2 was a remarkably standardized project around the world. Implementation was also universally problematic, the heady reformism of 1940s reconstructionism never being comprehensively realized. Moreover, by the 1970s the early ‘heroic’ modernism had evolved into a counterrevolutionary ‘high’ modernism. Exemplifying these themes was the career of the Sydney-based architect—planner Walter Bunning (1912–1977). In this paper I provide an overview of his particular brand of modernist thought, his central planning ideas, and his physical planning work, with special reference to a disastrous redevelopment scheme near the end of his life. The nature and scope of Walter Bunning's professional life represent a virtual microcosm of the uneven course of planning in Australia in the postwar years: genesis in the avant-garde Le Corbusier-tinged modernism of the 1930s, the early priorities, the broadening agenda but ever moderating tone, the difficulties in translating heady dreams into reality, and the crises which led to the emergence of a new paradigm. I will demonstrate how a biographical approach to planning history can illuminate the origins, meanings, hopes, and outcomes of modernist planning in the urban arena.

Full textAbstract:
The present research delves into Wyndham Lewis’s political writings Hitler (1931) and The Hitler Cult (1939) through the critical viewpoint of Leon Surette to magnify modernism and its intersections with politics. Surette’s analytical approach stresses the ambivalent feelings and apparent contradictions in Lewis’s involvement with fascism, totalitarianism, and the broader political context of the interwar period (1918-1939). By examining these polemical and disputatious works through Surette’s lens, this research paper seeks to unravel how Lewis’s literary modernism wrestle with the political realities of his time, especially the peak and trough of Adolf Hitler and the allure of authoritarianism. In this fashion, Hitler (1931) portrays Lewis’s sophisticated mind and often contentious position, amalgamating modernist techniques with a problematic portrayal of Hitler as both a political figure and a modernist symbol. In contrast, The Hitler Cult (1939) manifests a marked change in Lewis’s perspective, moving from ambivalence to a more explicit conviction of the Nazi movement and the potential dangers of cult-like political extremism. In the end, this paper argues that Hitler and The Hitler Cult provide a nuanced and often contradictory exploration of the intersection between literary modernism and politics.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – In a world where commerce and culture are still somewhat estranged, the purpose of this paper is to show that high culture’s supreme exponents were commercially minded masters of marketing. Design/methodology/approach – Historically situated, the paper adopts a biographical approach to the making of modernism’s literary masterworks. It focuses on Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot and James Joyce, who were responsible for the modernist classics, Ulysses and The Waste Land. Findings – The analysis identifies five fundamental marketing principles that appear paradoxical from a traditional, customer-centric standpoint, yet are in accord with latter-day, post-Kotlerite conceptualisations. The marketing of modernism did not rely on “modern” marketing. Practical implications – If, at the height of the anti-bourgeois modernist movement, the “great divide” between elite and popular culture was bridged by marketing, there is no reason why contemporary culture and commerce cannot collaborate, co-operate, co-exist, coalesce. Originality/value – The paper complements prior studies of “painterpreneurs”, by drawing attention to the marketing of literary masterworks.

<p>Violence in the name of religion is a widespread phenomenon in Indonesia. The question is why such violence occurs and why Muslims are often the perpetrators of religious violence? This article examines these questions from the paradigm and method of understanding Islam. There are various methods in studying Islam promoted by different Muslim groups, such as traditionalists, modernists and post-modernists. There are also many other methods advanced by fundamentalist, apologetic modernist, modernist and secularist Muslims. These methods yield different understanding of Islam, and even more contradictory understanding. To resolve this problem, and to accommodate those various views and uphold tolerance amongst Muslims, a new shifting paradigm is needed. The shift necessitates several steps. The first is validation of all Islamic knowledge. The second is to use a holistic approach to Islam. The third step is an open attitude and willingness to accept religious reform. The forth is a multidimensional approach to Islam and the last is making the objectives of Islamic law as the highest reference in Islamic thoughts. Furthermore, Muslim groups should build up mutual understanding to reconcile and avoid being trapped in an exclusive religiosity.</p>Keywords: religious violence, method, paradigm, holistic principle, reconciliation

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: This study examines gendered poetic language in Korean postwar modernism in the context of Virginia Woolf's "androgynous mind," as understood in Rita Felski's The Gender of Modernity (1995). Specifically, the values represented in the poetic landscapes of Pak In-hwan (1926–1956), one of the poets representing Korean postwar modernist poetry in the 1950s, will be reconsidered in light of literary gender. Pak In-hwan's poetic approach is sympathetic to women and does not express male-centricity to the same extent as the contemporaneous male intelligentsia. Close reading also shows that his poetic diction reflects an awareness, unique for the time, of gendered language in Korean poetry, as well as his pursuit of Woolf's androgyny. Pak's position among Korean postwar modernist poets can be reevaluated by revisiting his poetic world with a focus on the androgynous mind manifested in his writings.

Despite the embodied presence of self-taught art in Nigeria’s contemporary art space, the contributions made by self-taught artists in advancing the modernist landscape of contemporary art in Nigeria have remained largely understudied. Employing historiography and stylistic analyses, this article examines the modernist affirmations in the art of Segun Aiyesan, a self-taught Nigerian artist. It traces his artistic development as well as the various factors that influenced and shaped the modernist sensibilities evident in his art. Situating the discourse within the idiosyncrasies of Nigerian and Western art traditions, the study highlights how Aiyesan’s eclectic and experimental approach to art, in conjunction with the his effectual application of artistic talent and imagination, enabled him transact his own brand of modernism, and how its stylistic and aesthetic registers offer a deeper understanding ot the multifarious landscape of modern Nigerian art. Key attributes that frame Aiyesan’s art practice include the use of unconventional painting formats, multiple engagements of a particular subject matter using diverse compositional frameworks, and the continuous re-appraisal and re-invention of formal language. Thus, his art is very dynamic, expressive and constantly evolving.

ABSTRACT This article puts Alexander Jabbari’s The Making of Persianate Modernity in conversation with Levi Thompson’s Reorienting Modernism in Arabic and Persian Poetry to explore the relationship between literary modernism and literary modernity in non-Western literary contexts. It highlights the authors’ parallel theoretical engagements of Michel Foucault’s “attitude of modernity” and modernists’ and modernizers’ reworkings of literary heritage through the sublation of premodern literary content and form into modern conceptions of literary history. Drawing on these parallels, the article reviews several points of convergence in contemporary Arabic literary historical analysis that limn Jabbari’s approach to the Persianate world, which crosses between Persian and Urdu, the naskh and nastaʿlīq scripts, and Iran and India. It seeks out connections in the work and thought of Jabbari’s interlocutors, such as Muḥammad-Taqī Bahār and N. M. Rashed; Iranian modernist poets Nīmā Yūshīj, Aḥmad Shāmlū, and Furūgh Farrukhzād; and the Arab “free verse” (shiʿr ḥurr) poets such as ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Bayātī and Badr Shākir al-Sayyāb. The article highlights how Jabbari’s book proves that literary historians in the Persianate world were subject to modernization discourse in making themselves modern and therefore covered up aspects of their premodern heritage that did not fit their modernizing projects.

Full textAbstract:
The burgeoning subfield of literary oceanic studies has largely neglected modernist literature, maintaining that the end of the age of sail in the late nineteenth century also marks an end to maritime literature's substantive cultural role. This essay outlines a way of reading the maritime in modernism through an analysis of the engagement with history and temporality in Joseph Conrad's sea novel The Nigger of the ‘Narcissus’ (1897). The novel depicts the sea as variously an anachronistic sphere left behind by history, an integral foundation to history, an element that eclipses history, and an archive of history's repressed violence. This article traces the interactions of these various views of the sea's relationship to history, highlighting how they are shaped and inflected by the novel's treatment of race. Based on this analysis, it proposes an approach to the sea in modernist literature that focuses on its historiographical rather than social import.

One of the post-modernist approaches to literary criticism is the queer criticism which has not been evaluated properly. Queer criticism can refer to any piece of literary criticism that interprets a text from a non-straight perspective. Therefore, it includes both lesbian and gay criticism.
 The aim of this paper, therefore, is to trace the social and political reasons behind the emergence of Queer criticism in the late twentieth century till it acquired momentum in the twenty-first century. After trying to define the terms related to the Queer criticism, the paper tries to examine the poetics of queer (gay and lesbian) literary works and to point out the main characteristic features of this critical approach by identifying the criteria and the textual evidence by which a literary work is labeled queer. It, also tries to shed light on the common features between queer criticism and feminism, on the one hand, and queer criticism and the deconstructuralist approach on the other hand. The final section of the study is a critique which points out the negative aspects of this approach.

This paper discusses adaptive reuse approaches to the spaces and facades of 1960s modernist buildings, with a focus on preservation and commercialization. The aim of this paper is to understand the adaptive reuse approach as a preservation strategy for 1960s modernist buildings, while exploring the relationship between preservation and commercialization. Qualitative methods with interpretivism approach were used to examine research objects which included samples of 1960s modernist buildings including the Hotel Indonesia building, BNI Thamrin Building, Sarinah Thamrin Department Store and Djakarta Theatre. The results of this research are new insights into how to restore the essence of modernist buildings as cultural heritage as well as preservation strategies that also pay attention to the commercialization side.

Although Kapor’s narration has characteristics of (post) modernism ‒ blending genres, intertextuality, fragmentation, documentarity, narrative therapy approach ‒ the novel Nebo, tako duboko, from the philosophical point of view, represents a return to a pre-modernist metaphysical understanding of the world. The theme of the novel – a traumatic loss of a child – is presented through a metaphysical mode, while the pervasive motif of storytelling achieves a transcendental meaning.

Is it the realm of theoretical constructs or positive applications thatdefines the essence of scientific inquiry? Is there unison between thenormative and the positive, between the inductive and deductivecontents, between perception and reality, between the micro- andmacro-phenomena of reality as technically understood? In short, isthere a possibility for unification of knowledge in modernist epistemologicalcomprehension? Is knowledge perceived in conceptionand application as systemic dichotomy between the purely epistemic(in the metaphysically a priori sense) and the purely ontic (in thepurely positivistically a posteriori sense) at all a reflection of reality?Is knowledge possible in such a dichotomy or plurality?Answers to these foundational questions are primal in order tounderstand a critique of modernist synthesis in Islamic thought thathas been raging among Muslim scholars for some time now. Theconsequences emanating from the modernist approach underlie muchof the nature of development in methodology, thinking, institutions,and behavior in the Muslim world throughout its history. They arefound to pervade more intensively, I will argue here, as the consequenceof a taqlid of modernism among Islamic thinkers. I will thenargue that this debility has arisen not because of a comparativemodem scientific investigation, but due to a failure to fathom theuniqueness of a truly Qur'anic epistemological inquiry in the understandingof the nature of the Islamic socioscientific worldview ...

Full textAbstract:
Mulk Raj Anand's self-description – in a 1945 broadcast about war-time London – as an ‘impatient modernist’ highlights Anand's ability to harness the velocity of broadcast production, transmission, and reception into an aesthetic of speed. Pairing Anand's unpublished BBC scripts with his war-time novel The Big Heart (1945), I show how Anand's work remediating contemporary texts for broadcast accompanied a shift in his approach to writing fiction, using the technique of intertextual scaffolding to accelerate composition. This article proposes that the name of Anand's impatience was realism – that Anand's fascination with literary modernists such as Joyce and Woolf was tempered with a desire for the immediacy and social embeddedness of realism and that broadcasting encouraged Anand in his attempt to pair modernism's cosmopolitanism and polyvocality with realism's speed, engagement, even ephemerality. Challenging the often feeble distinction between realism and modernist anti-representational technics, Anand's radio writing captures the contradictions of combined but uneven development.

Starting in the 1960s, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) became one of the most visible points of entry in America for the so-called “Swiss-style,” a distinctive, modernist approach to graphic design. Three women were largely responsible for its success: Therese Moll, Jacqueline Casey, and Muriel Cooper. While Casey and Cooper have begun to get their due, Moll—a visiting designer from Basel—remains almost unknown. This article examines why MIT provided such fertile ground for this style, before it became the lingua franca of corporate modernism, and how, by the 1980s, it traveled from print to screens.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract We are at a point in literary studies where the meridian has begun to insistently make its presence felt. But at the same time, we are approaching the field through a miscegenated lens. This essay is about mixtures and the blurring of chronologies these effect in the realm of literary studies. Both modernism and new modernist studies draw on the stimulus provided by intermixtures. One glance at our recent compendium of terms: creolity, métissage, planetarity, is a marked indicator of the direction in which modernist studies is currently headed, as much beholden to intermixtures as modernism was. I am going to approach these questions by taking as my pivot Jean Rhys’s short story – and the title itself is deviously indicative of an intervention into all the theorizations referred to – “Mixing Cocktails”. The question I intend to ask via foregrounding the liquid principle that Rhys’s story deploys is whether in the quest to meridiniaze, if one could call it that, literary studies today, especially modernist literary studies, we are in fact letting the headiness of discovery blur meridians, even as we aim to bring them into focus. Dwelling on the admixtures, montages, blurring frames and colorisms in Rhys’s fiction, I will argue that the intermixed futures that were being shaped by the global crossings of the empire are encountered in all the bleakness of an incomplete, forever deferred birthing in the writer’s fiction. Drawing on the trope of the cocktail as both suggestive of a voluptuous dispersion and yet a shaping of all the elements into a finished product in the final analysis, this essay will dwell on how intermixtures are not always a palatable draught in Rhys.

Full textAbstract:
This Note explores, within an analytical framework, the ban on Qatari flights (as part of the 2017 Qatar Diplomatic Crisis) by Saudi Arabia and a few other Middle Eastern States. Grappling with the ban, which is based on the sovereignty of States in their airspace and columns above it, informs that international air law has a fixation for a certain classicism that makes resolution of legal issues difficult in the face of contemporary realities. This Note problematizes that difficulty, revealing that the ban is motivated by classicism; which is then juxtaposed with the resistance of Qatar to the ban as a modernist resistance. In the binary of classicism and modernism, claims of Saudi Arabia and Qatar simply vacillate, leaving the issues unresolved. The Note ends with the observation that so long as claims vacillate, formal means of dispute resolution, particularly the one under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), are less likely to succeed, for ICAO has the classicism approach structurally inbuilt in that renders ICAO less receptive to Qatar’s modernist claims. However, alternative means of dispute settlements under the aegis of ICAO have the scope to deal with the problem of binaries without falling prey to the determinism of classicism and modernism.

Full textAbstract:
This research aims to defend the Sunnah, which is one of the greatest legal duties in the face of campaigns of skepticism, distortion, and slander from many parties that seek to exclude the Sunnah as a methodology and system of life, including those so-called modernists who raise the slogan of renewing thought and heritage, adding the mantle of “impartial” scientific research and calling for rereading the Islamic “heritage” and applying modern methods of criticism to it. The research question lies in how the modernist reading has contributed to presenting methodological fallacies in understanding and dealing with the Sunnah. The paper is organized into three sections. The first section provides the theoretical and conceptual framework of the research. The second section examines the statements of the methodological fallacies in the modernist reading of the Sunnah, including six fallacies, namely: imitation rather than innovation, selectivity, lack of accuracy and objectivity, dropping the value of the hadith, adopting abstract reason as a criterion for criticizing hadiths, the indiscipline of the criteria of criticism, and finally the fallacy of speaking in a non-specialized field. The third section balances the modernists’ approach with that of the Hadith Scholars in Hadith criticism, followed by the conclusion and the important findings and recommendations.

In modern western society, because of the dominance of secular modernist ideas ofrationalism and positivistic science, notions of spirituality have been at bestmarginalised, at worst excluded from our discourse on health care. Research intospirituality has been limited by modernist epistemological assumptions concerning?objective? proof and measurement. This discussion seeks to help reverse such a directionby offering an example of research on an Australian hospice service (Karuna HospiceService) which is inclusive of the notion of spirituality. This research indicates thata spiritual discourse was not only important in the genesis of this organisation, butis also a significant factor in energising and guiding the ongoing democratic, holistic,compassionate praxis of this hospice service.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the aesthetical and the philosophical in intellectual reflections of the twentieth century. The material for the study were conceptions of such characteristic figures of modernism and postmodernism as W. Benjamin and J.-F. Lyotard. The task of the work was the analysis of modern and postmodern discourses and identification of their intertwining and intercollision. Benjamin articulated main modernist tendencies in his writings. For him the sociological approach and the consideration of the subject of art and artistic activity in all manifestations were basic everywhere in analysis of art. Instead of these postmodern art reflects itself as an antisocial practice in the context of it by the "decline of metanorations", the decline of ideology, the rejection of the general theoretical position, Modernism cuts off idea of any connection with the past. The principle condition on creativity for modernists was innovation and originality. Benjamin demonstrates such a level of decadence of the moderating guidelines in relation to the tradition. But for him Interest in historicity, games with citations in his books and writings are closed him to postmodernist positions and directions. Postmodernism, in relation to the past, is based on the paradigmic guideline that "everything was already there," everything has already happened both as an event and in an interpretive sense.

This ideological tendency can be understood not only as the life background of the author as a local activist modernist Muslim, but also influenced by the historical situation in the 1970s and 1990s, when the strengthening of ideological rivalry between modernist and traditional Islam. Being Sundanese Muslim living in Sundanese region, they use local language media in the interpretation of the Qur’a>n as an effective tool to diseminate modernist Islam.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: While critics have praised Marianne Moore's "An Octopus" for its scientific precision, ecocritics have been troubled by the environmental obfuscation of modernist collage. Moore's appropriation of language from the National Park Service, mountaineering guides, as well as popular scientific articles not only critiques the commodification of nature as an aesthetic, scientific, and bureaucratic commodity in the early twentieth century—but also reflects what Donna Haraway calls "tentacular thinking" of ecological assemblages that cut across the nature-culture divide. Moore's collage technique thus historicizes and prefigures contemporary ecocritical discourse by offering a "tentacular" approach to ecopoetics that records and complicates the many discourses that impinged upon nature during the period of high modernism. What ultimately emerges in "An Octopus" is a post-anthropocentric construction of nature.

In this article, I look at the connections between the eminent linguist Edward Sapir (1884–1939) and modernist poetry. In his career, Sapir provided extensive knowledge about North American languages and promoted an influential relativistic approach to language and culture. His understanding of language, particularly its cultural values, was informed by his understanding of literature. I look, in particular, at the ways that Sapir applied his theories of language to his contemporaries in modernist poetry, with specific focus on Amy Lowell and Hilda Doolittle. Sapir saw modernist poetry as being based on the same linguistic principles as his broader theories of language and culture. I argue that Sapir's theoretical writing is not simply a key by which we should read modernist approaches to language, but is made up of important literary connections which point to his influence and standing in the modernist network.

Full textAbstract:
The modernist architecture of the twentieth century, often referred to as the International Style, exhibited diverse forms and urban layouts shaped by local cultural, economic, and political factors. To comprehensively understand the architectural heritage of this era, it is essential to consider both universal and local principles. This paper explores the adaptation of modernism within a local context by analysing the urban layouts of housing estates in Izmir (Turkey) and Tychy (Poland), constructed during the latter half of the twentieth century. The aim is to enhance our understanding of the architectural heritage of this modernist period through a comparative analysis. The selection of these examples is based on their shared formal similarities, despite the vastly different contexts in which they were built. While the circumstances surrounding the two cases were starkly dissimilar, the scale of the buildings and the spatial arrangements exhibit similarities. This study employs a mixed-method approach, incorporating qualitative methods such as observation and case study alongside quantitative methods such as research and surveys. The comparative analysis presented in this paper illuminates the local idiosyncrasies of architecture while unveiling the complexity of the modernist architectural legacy and the intricate developmental processes that culminated in ostensibly similar spatial outcomes. This proposed comparative analysis aims to address existing gaps in the literature on modern housing and contribute to broader discussions within an international context. It intends to promote knowledge, raise awareness, and contribute to the sustainable discourse of modern architecture.
