Modernism: Evolution of an Idea de Professor Sean Latham

Modernism: Evolution of an Idea: New Modernisms

Autor Professor Sean Latham, Dr Gayle Rogers
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 oct 2015

Găsim în Modernism: Evolution of an Idea o abordare riguros interdisciplinară, care plasează fenomenul estetic la intersecția dintre istoria ideilor, teologie, politică și studii media. Autorii nu se limitează la o analiză stilistică, ci investighează modul în care „modernismul” a fost construit discursiv, începând cu enciclica Papei Pius al X-lea din 1907 și continuând cu dezbaterile intelectuale care au definit arta secolului XX. Putem afirma că această lucrare transformă înțelegerea termenului dintr-o etichetă statică într-un concept fluid, modelat de instituțiile academice și de critică.

Merită menționat că volumul acoperă aceeași arie tematică precum Modernism de Tim Middleton, dar cu o abordare mult mai teoretică și istoriografică, orientată spre genealogia termenului, spre deosebire de selecția de resurse estetice oferită de Middleton. În timp ce The Cambridge Introduction to Modernism de Pericles Lewis oferă o introducere accesibilă în formele și genurile perioadei, lucrarea de față se concentrează pe mecanismele de recepție și pe modul în care New Criticism sau teoria franceză au reconfigurat canonul.

Structura cărții reflectă o progresie logică, de la capitolul despre emergența conceptului până la analiza rețelelor globale din prezent. Prezența unui glosar detaliat și a unei bibliografii critice indică clar destinația academică a volumului. În contextul operei autorilor, Modernism: Evolution of an Idea sintetizează preocupările lui Sean Latham pentru periodice și cultura de masă, vizibile în „Am I a Snob?”, și expertiza lui Gayle Rogers în modernismul global, oferind o perspectivă integrată asupra studiilor moderniste actuale.

Descriere

What exactly is "modernism"? And how and why has its definition changed over time?

Modernism: Evolution of an Idea is the first book to trace the development of the term "modernism" from cultural debates in the early twentieth century to the dynamic contemporary field of modernist studies. Rather than assuming and recounting the contributions of modernism's chief literary and artistic figures, this book focuses on critical formulations and reception through topics such as:

- The evolution of "modernism" from a pejorative term in intellectual arguments, through its condemnation by Pope Pius X in 1907, and on to its subsequent centrality to definitions of new art by T. S. Eliot, Laura Riding and Robert Graves, F. R. Leavis, Edmund Wilson, and Clement Greenberg
- New Criticism and its legacies in the formation of the modernist canon in anthologies, classrooms, and literary histories
- The shifting conceptions of modernism during the rise of gender and race studies, French theory, Marxist criticism, postmodernism, and more
- The New Modernist Studies and its contemporary engagements with the politics, institutions, and many cultures of modernism internationally

With a glossary of key terms and movements and a capacious critical bibliography, this is an essential survey for students and scholars working in modernist studies at all levels.

Recenzii

The field of modernist studies consists in large part of debates over how the field should be defined.[This book] is an elegant, lucid, and helpful introduction to the field of modernist studies. Yet- and to its very great credit-it does not shy away from the definitional problems I have described but weaves them into a clear articulation of the difficulties and contradictions at the heart of modernism as a project and as a field.
Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers.
Sean Latham and Gayle Rogers offer a perfectly timed history . that will be of immediate interest to anyone who studies modernism and twentieth-century literary history . They offer a succinct, often fascinating account of how and why it has become impossible to offer a tidy definition of modernism . The picture that emerges from Latham and Rogers's narrative is one of incredible complexity and variety . With this condensed, lucid, compelling history, Latham and Rogers enable their readers . to learn what has been accomplished in the last century of interrogating modernism and then discover what tasks remain. Because of the significant critical generosity that underwrites this study, we can conclude, with Pound, Latham, and Rogers, that there is still much to do.
An ambitious project . tracing the evolution of the term "modernism" from a cultural buzzword to a consolidated . signifier of a particular set of artistic conventions and works . It would not be surprising to see this study on any modernist's bookshelf.
An excellent account of the development of the idea of Modernism, with a useful glossary and a very good critical bibliography.
The writers display deep and wide expertise as they move nimbly over more than a century's worth of fraught material. They offer students and colleagues a thorough overview of the debates that have constituted the field they call "modernist studies."
An engaging introduction to the fraught history of modernism as a critical and aesthetic category, the book makes a substantive case for the lability of its subject ... This is disciplinary historiography at its most lucid, and the narrative weaves introduce readers to or reminds them of an impressive number of arguments without ever feeling rushed, over-stuffed, or, most importantly, tangential ... Latham and Rogers append an extensive critical bibliography of significant works in modernist studies, which should prove invaluable to students and early researchers looking for direction in navigating such a diverse field. The detail of this apparatus speaks to the utility of Modernism as a whole, a book that should become a staple in modernist classrooms and dissertation reading lists for the foreseeable future.
Latham and Rogers succeed in providing in the four chapters of their book an excellent introduction to the shifting conceptualizations and criticisms of modernism in literary and artistic debates.
Admirably, the authors manage to produce not only a survey of the term's complex trajectory, but one laced with important critical contentions ... Latham and Rogers's analyses make their book far more than just an introductory survey.
