In the canvas of time, two movements sway, Modernism and Postmodernism in their array, Distinctive epochs in the literary plane, Their contrasts and echoes, a profound refrain. Modernism, a break from tradition's hold, An era of change, a story to unfold, With fractured forms and a dissonant chord, Championing innovation, art's way forward. Eliot's "Wasteland," fragmented despair, A world laid bare, a disenchanted air, A maze of thoughts in a fractured verse, An echo of disillusionment's curse. Frost's rural scenes, their quiet grace, Simple words held a deep embrace, In common moments, a depth so profound, A search for truth in life's rustic ground. Postmodernism emerges, a new tide, From Modernism's grip, a different stride, A deconstruction of established norms, In literature's dance, a reborn form. Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse, a war's absurd jest, A blend of humor in a world distressed, Pynchon's labyrinth, a sprawling tale, A narrative web, reality's veiled scale. Morrison's Beloved, haunting and stark, Slavery's ghosts, a narrative arc, A twist in stories, memories unbound, Postmodern echoes, truths profound. Postmodernism, a mirror's reflection, Challenging structures, a vast collection, From irony's edge to the metafiction's bend, A quest for truth in narratives penned. In this clash of eras, a dialogue grand, Modernism's structures, Postmodernism's stand, One shattered norms, the other deconstructed, Both movements, in literature's path constructed. Modernism and Postmodernism, hand in hand, One a break, the other a reprimand, In this literary spectrum, they intertwine, Echoes of change in each written line.
Hi Peter, I just liked and commented on your Brancacci lectures and wanted to also let you know we very much enjoyed your lectures on the Arena chapel. During our visit next month to Florence, we are taking a day trip to Padua and have reservations to view the Chapel. Thanks again, Art Murphy
Thanks Peter, excellent lecture and presentation. We are going to Florence next month and this morning secured our tickets to the Brancacci Chapel. Again, thanks for posting, Art Murphy
Very good informative video! I have seen several on your channel. Very good content. Thank you for the effort to make these and putting them on RU-vid.
A lot of modernism texts aren’t simplistic in style but look to reflect the modern society. However, it does this through breaking norms and traditions. So you could read the Wasteland by T.S Eliot which is one of the greatest modernist prose however is insanely complicated and abstract - which is intentional
so postmodernism is valuelessness and nihilistic a decline in almost every aspect of life, lol every piece of the comparison at the end the modern is OK the postmodern is terrible, thx for the video
LOL indeed. A more productive read on postmodernism is that it takes the ideas of modernism and shows their fundamentally contradictory nature. It's no more nihilistic than a contemporary physics experiment.
@@petergbeal Everyone disparages modernist thought until their cell phone goes dead and saying 'But it being charged is MY TRUTH!' doesn't turn the dang thing back on.
@@AF-tv6uf Postmodernism would ask what really charges that phone. Electricity, etc. sure, definitely necessary but not sufficient to explain how or why it actually functions.
Electricity is quite sufficient to explain the technical how and the why. The question of 'why' it was created in the first place? Now that's the subject for philosophy! A modernist would say that technological advancement is the predictable and natural result of a general trajectory of progress, while a postmodernist would claim a more subjectively Western desire to capitalize and consume.
Surely Hector was one of the great heroes of the Illiad? And Odysseus didn’t make questionable decisions on his way home from Troy, he made foolish decisions which cost his loyal compatriots their lives.
Another soulless rendition of historical ideology. Nothing about the actual painting. What about the light, the rendition of colour within the whole colour key of the picture? Where is the commentary about handling of form and space. Where is the mention of fresco painting techniques and Raphael's technique in particular? You fucking HEATHEN.
And by the way our lived experience is of course visual but it is much more than just visual - you might use the term synkinaesthetic - a feeling intertwining all our senses, and combining what we perceive with symbols, dream, memory, meaning etc
It is a very interesting subject and wonderfull when you start showing pictures and talk directly of a specific work of art. Truly very interesting, but it would have been helpfull to focus even more on the visual in the presentation e.g when you show an image I would have liked you to also go very close and take a look on each painting showing the details
Hello, I'm an Open Educational Resource Specialist at Paradise Valley Community College (Phoenix, AZ, USA). I'm helping several art teachers create an OER Art History Course that will eliminate textbook costs to our students by using free online resources. May we use this video in our non-commercial courses? Thank you so much for your help, Jessica Parsons Jessica.parsons@paradisevalley.edu
