Spectacular Modernity
Author: Lisa Blackmore
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822982366
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
In cultural history, the 1950s in Venezuela are commonly celebrated as a golden age of modernity, realized by a booming oil economy, dazzling modernist architecture, and nationwide modernization projects. But this is only half the story. In this path-breaking study, Lisa Blackmore reframes the concept of modernity as a complex cultural formation in which modern aesthetics became deeply entangled with authoritarian politics. Drawing on extensive archival research and presenting a wealth of previously unpublished visual materials, Blackmore revisits the decade-long dictatorship to unearth the spectacles of progress that offset repression and censorship. Analyses of a wide range of case studies—from housing projects to agricultural colonies, urban monuments to official exhibitions, and carnival processions to consumerculture—reveal the manifold apparatuses that mythologized visionary leadership, advocated technocratic development, and presented military rule as the only route to progress. Offering a sharp corrective to depoliticized accounts of the period, Spectacular Modernity instead exposes how Venezuelans were promised a radically transformed landscape in exchange for their democratic freedoms.

Historical Modernisms
Author: Jean-Michel Rabaté
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350202975
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Examining the ways in which modernism is created within specific historical contexts, as well as how it redefines the concept of history itself, this book sheds new light on the historical-mindedness of modernism and the artistic avant-gardes. Cutting across Anglophone and less explored European traditions and featuring work from a variety of eminent scholars, it deals with issues as diverse as artistic medium, modernist print culture, autobiography as history writing, avant-garde experimentations and modernism's futurity. Contributors examine both literary and artistic modernism, combining theoretical overviews and archival research with case studies of Anglophone as well as European modernism, which speak to the current historicizing trend in modernist and literary studies.

Modernism, 1910-1945
Author: Jane Goldman
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1403938393
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
This essential guide explores and celebrates the rise and development of modernist and avant-garde literatures and theories in the period 1910-1945, from Imagism to the Apocalypse movement. Jane Goldman charts transitions in writing, reading, performing and publishing practices, and in international groupings and regroupings of writers and artists, and interrogates the term 'Modernism' which labels the era. Goldman introduces students to the work of many canonical high modernist writers, such as Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, W. B. Yeats, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf, and samples the work of other important modernist figures, including Nathanael West, John Rodker, Aldous Huxley and the Harlem Renaissance poets.

Modernism and the Reformation
Author: John Benjamin Rust
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Modernism (Christian theology)
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
"The Old Protestant doctrinal position was, that the one source and norm of Christian teaching is the Word of God, which is contained in the prophetic and apostolical books of the Old and New Testaments. These books, therefore, have always been looked upon by the Church of all lands and ages as canonical books and as the unequivocal and exclusive record of the revelations of God ... Roman Catholics hold that the Church is older than the Holy Scriptures, that these proceed from her, and they teach that the canon of Scripture itself was collected and fixed by the Church, and that therefore the interpretation of the written Word of God remains the express perrogative of the Church, with the help of tradition." John Rust shows in his book how the Roman Catholic Church and other philosophies deviated from the original positions of the Church universal over time.

Modernism and Its Margins
Author: Anthony Geist
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317944399
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This volume represents a rereading of modernism and the modernist canon from a double distance: geographical and temporal. It is a revision not only from the periphery (Spain and Latin America), but from this new fin de si cle as well, a revisiting of modernity and its cultural artifacts from that same postmodernity. Modernism and Its Margins is an attempt at introducing different perspectives and examples in the theoretical debate, redefine dominant assumptions of what modernism-or margins-mean in our historical juncture.
