@andreeap.2057 8 лет назад

This was great and wonderful!! And I honestly cannot wait for the next ones. I really appreciate the readings lists too. Also, the matchstick was great - it made easier for me to understand the modernism and postmodernism, and the mention of Newton and Einstein helped too because I know more about physics than literature theory and that parallel helped a lot. I do believe that kids and students these days should be encouraged more to connect the different things they study and the way you did the lecture is another proof of that. Do I even make sense? Oh, well, thank you! It was lovely!

I am retyping my comment for umpteenth time because I want to express how fucking great this is. This is something I (a state school A level student) have been dreaming of finding on RU-vid. Content fabulous (v v v v interesting), style marvellous (not dumbing-down or patronising, but clear and build well). I am genuinely reeling (a little giddy with excitement) with how brilliant this. Thank you so so much for working so hard to create this (as a long term viewer I'm a little emotional with how proud I am of you), I'll be using it to develop my extra curricular reading for uni applications. You are honestly a marvel 💕

This was great! I (german lit graduate) never tackled the subject myself and was left with an indistinct intuition of what postmodernism and modernism was. So excited for more episodes. You actually made me horribly nostalgic for uni. I hope there will be many more lectures (if not by the unemployed but rather the employed philosopher) :) Good luck to you!

@zeenuf00 3 года назад

The first rule of postmodernism . . . is that whenever you define 'postmodernism,' a postmodernist will say 'no, you don't understand postmodernism' and then re-define it. The second rule of postmodernism . . . is that five minutes later, the postmodernist will offer the same 'wrong' definition of 'postmodernism' that you just offered. The third rule of postmodernism . . . is that someone will respond to this comment that I 'know nothing about postmodernism.'

@joychalaby 8 лет назад

This was so fascinating, @C. A. Dubois! I really enjoyed this lecture - you're fantastic at it, and every engaging and interesting. Keep it up, girl! I loved your analogy of the match, and the flickering flame of the modernist period. I recently read T.S. Eliot's "Selected Poems" which had the poem "Waste Lands" and I think that is very true. I'm still not 100% sure I understand the post-modernist theory, but somehow I have the feeling that is the point, that everything is relative and abstract, and there can be no universal truth, etc. Ooh, Victorian Literature would be a topic I'd be really interested in, as well as the Enlightenment and Medieval literature. Also, I think it would be interesting to hear more about how the novel came to be, and structuralism vs. and post structuralism - wow, so many exciting possibilities and topics! I am excited! Thank you so much for doing this, Cinzia!

@justinfitzpatrick013 7 лет назад

Many intelligent comments below. Some more than others. My advice in mentally separating modernism from post modernism is to analyze Lyotard's descriptions of both in his book, The Postmodern Condition, which you can most quickly access from Wikipedia. For the record, that book was the first to use the word "postmodern" out of the context of art criticism, and it was written in '79. Prob more recent than some would assume. The next philosophical landmark for postmodernism came as recently as '91 in the form of "Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism" by Frederic Jameson. My own summary: cultural turn toward general skepticism of centralized or authoritative truths that enabled the tragedy that was the twentieth century. Although some people still believe these things so we still have race supremacy, nationalism, and class based guilt

@oussamacdt 6 лет назад

@walkabout16 8 месяцев назад

In the realm of thought, two movements arise, Modernism and Postmodernism, in the philosopher's guise, Distinct in their ways, they paint a tale, Of contrasting philosophies that bewilder and regale. Modernism, a quest for truth, a seismic shift, An age of reason, logic's powerful gift, Challenging norms, it sought to define, Innovative thoughts in a structured line. Eliot and Woolf, in Modernism's sphere, Fragmented truths, a dissonance clear, In "The Waste Land," a shattered verse, Disillusionment's cry, a narrative terse. Frost's simple lines, a rural scene, Life's subtle truths in the everyday sheen, Modernist echoes in each word displayed, A longing for meaning, a depth conveyed. Postmodernism, a rebellion's cheer, From Modernism's grip, it sought to veer, Deconstruction, a key in its hand, Challenging structures, a bold stand. Vonnegut and Pynchon, in playful spree, Mocking reality, absurdity set free, A Slaughterhouse tale, a war's grim jest, A narrative maze, a postmodern quest. Morrison's Beloved, haunting and stark, Memory's maze in a narrative arc, Postmodern echoes, identities veiled, Truths entangled, realities assailed. Unemployed philosopher, a concept in flight, Between Modernism's logic and Postmodernism's plight, In a shifting world where ideas collide, The philosopher muses, the currents he rides. One seeks truth in a structured hand, The other, a rebel, in a fragmented stand, In this clash of thoughts, they intertwine, In the Unemployed Philosopher's uncertain line.
