    Tejano Conjunto Chapter Summary

    Understanding the fragmenting effect of late capitalism, he notes the lament of postmodern critics that depicts “a world in which the human subject is longer just alienated, thus presuming some lost agency, and purpose.” As Limón tackles late capitalism’s impact to render only surface culture, he notes how the human subject is decentered and fragmented, where the subject is “incapable of conceiving mission, agency, purpose. As scholars on postmodernism are concerned with the politics of social practice, Limón interrogates Jameson’s definition of postmodernity as “largely a class confined cultural movement of the elite arts, intellectual, and now, upper class architecture.” In response, Limón turns to the subaltern practices of the Chicano…

    Run Lola Run: Postmodernism In Film

    Post modernism is the era after modernism and, how people have reacted to modernism. As defined modernism is “a set of beliefs developed at the turn of the century that focused on isolation, alienation, fractured culture, self-reflection, nonlinear, and minimalism.” Many movies were produced and characters in the movie, or the plot in the movie did react to modernism in some way. Two of the many movies that reacted to postmodernism are Amy Tan’s “Half and Half,” and Tom Tynker’s Run Lola Run produced in 1998.…

    Early Modernists used elements of experimentation, freedom, radicalism, and utopianism. Post-Modernists, however, rebelled against many modernist elements and instead depicted disillusionment and elements of dystopian ideas—dehumanized and fearful lives” (“Modernism”). The world and the activities going on at the moment greatly influenced the rise and downfall of this era. For example, WWI…

    The Information Age

    Postmodern which came into use shortly after World War II, it is the era that follows Modernism, and designates the cultural condition of the late twentieth century. Postmodern primarily occurred in the West, artist offered alternatives to the high seriousness and introversion of Modernist expression. Postmodernism is also self consciously populist even to the point of inviting the active participation of the beholder. Postmodern artist bring wry skepticism to the creative act, less preoccupied than Modernist. Postmodernist also acknowledged art as an information system and a commodity shaped by the electronic media, they are more designed than authorial, postmodernist are pluralistic. The visual arts of the Information Age have not assumed any single, unifying style. Rather they are diverse and electric reflecting the postmodern preoccupation with the media shaped…

    Art History Final

    Post-modern art rejects the idea of beauty and truth and reveals the value of irony. Artists such as Marcel Duchamp, who created the Fountain, or Mark Tansey, shock, mock, and force the viewers to rethink the meaning of art. “The reader/viewer must create a whole new context in which to hold the art, one which may truly challenge his belief structures, one which may force him, to make sense of what he is seeing, to hold a larger perspective than he currently has in place.”1 And this applies to the critic as well. His opinion can no longer be valued as before because this kind of art no longer has a meaning and its interpretation no longer matters. Its importance lies on the impact and sensation of its viewers. “Art becomes then a participatory experience, one in which the audience receives, and handles as they may, the flows of libidinal energies which the artist set free.”2 The control the words of critics had over art is gone and viewers are able to let their unconscious decide what art is. Nothing can better explain the place of the critic with this new art as Roland Barthes’s essay title does: post-modern art has brought “The Death of the Author.”…

    Affordable Housing Analysis

    Affordable housing became one of the main focuses of public and domestic policy in the aftermath of WWII. Various housing acts were passed to make up for the lack of available housing including large housing development projects particularly in large urban centers. Architecture served as a response to public policy and to push social reform in the area of low-income housing. These housing projects had varying degrees of failure or success that were influenced by a number of factors including location, support, public perception, social integration, and design. The surrounding conditions and design aspects of these projects serve to inform the process of developing future affordable housing.…

    To... Comfort the Afflicted, Afflict the Comfortable

    Although most agree that “postmodern thought” begins with Nietzsche near the end of the nineteenth century, it was not until the middle of the twentieth that one witnesses the explosion of literature, criticism, art, culture, architecture, and virtually everything nameable discipline, that would make heavy use, willingly or not, of the term postmodernism. There are conflicting accounts as to the origin of the term, Toybee has been suggested as has Ihab Hassan, Federico de Onis, Fredic Jamison and no doubt others. The answer to the question, who was it that first used the term is much less important than to what it was referring (it might well have been coined by several individuals independently and moreover each may have been characterizing a different phenomenon with it). However, this turns out to be a rather tricky affair to negotiate simply because the term has been used in so many ways, and to express so many different sentiments that it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to determine what it is, or what it means. Lyotard’s famous, or infamous, “incredulity toward meta-narratives” hardly helps the work of clarifying. Nevertheless, its popularity, both in academic and popular culture, at the mid-point of the twentieth century was rather astounding (on the strength of such philosophers, writers and critics as Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Lyotard, Baudrillard, Derrida and others of course). It represented for many a much needed emancipation from the ridged strictures of…

    Towards a New Architecture

    Architects and artists increasingly abandon the aesthetic precepts of deconstruction, parataxis, and pastiche in favor of aesth-ethical notions of reconstruction, myth, and metaxis. These artistic expressions move beyond the worn out sensibilities and empty practices of the postmodernists not by radically parting with their attitudes and techniques but by incorporating and redirecting them. In politics as in culture as elsewhere, a sensibility is emerging from and surpassing of postmodernism; as a non-dialectical Aufhebung1 that negates the postmodern while retaining some of its traits.…

    The Rise Of The Suburbanization Of America

    In the decades following the Second World War, America’s cities began a transformation still being felt today. The increased suburbanization of the middle class, and the resulting movement to stop it, led to the development of new urban spaces which had wildly varying levels of success. New partnerships between businesses and government agencies resulted in legislation that had a variety of positive and negative effects on different populations. Architects strived to create new methods of housing the middle and lower classes affordably and comfortably, attempting to simultaneously mimic the advantages of suburban life while maintaining the character of an urban setting. These projects certainly had a number of successes but too often contributed…

    Postmodernism and Connection to Society

    The shift during mid to late 1960s abstract impressionism and conceptualism, new styles showing an unprecedented degree of self-awareness on the part of the artists, as well as a rejection of Modern art's emotional and spiritual detachment from society arose. Postmodernism is largely a psychological reaction against assumptions and values of western history.…
