Modernism & Beyond Words from a scrapbook

Modernism & Beyond The Prequel Victorian Age Growth (economical…social…moral…fields) Enthusiasm Critical reaction to situation Slums Inhuman conditions Pollution

Modernism & Beyond The Intro History & Technology (the long century) New Discoveries & New Theories heavily influenced this period. Historical events (the 2 World Wars!) are both causes and consequences of this new situation.

Modernism & Beyond The Facts Nietzsche & Darwin: *God Is Dead* & The Evolution Theory We’re alone in this world. No God above us. We are not the product of a divine act, but a random consequence of life evolution We are not the centre of the universe.

Modernism & Beyond The Facts (2) Einstein: The Theory Of Relativity: Science has no answers. The universe is based on laws which are not deterministic. Sigmund Freud: The birth of Psychoanalysis. The discovery of the super-ego. The truth is inside of us, so it’s individualistic!

Modernism & Beyond Uncertainties about values, meanings Individualistic approach to morals Seeking shelter into feelings, emotions Subjectivity vs. Objectivity Individualism vs. Socialization Modern vs. Ancient

Modernism & Beyond So Prose >>> Modernism reflects this totally new way of conceiving reality which finds expression in a totally new way of conceiving art! Prose >>> NO more straightforward, chronological and linear narration BUT Content >>> Psychology; Psychological Novel Style >>> Stream Of Consciousness James Joyce Ulysses

Modernism & Beyond So (2) Poetry: NO more Poetic Diction BUT Symbolism & Free Verse (ermetismo) T.S. Eliot The Waste Land

Modernism & Beyond So (3) Theatre: NO more Aristotelian Units BUT Content >>> Absurdity Of Life (Theatre Of The Absurd) Style >>> Minimalism Samuel Beckett Waiting For Godot

Modernism & Beyond Beyond Modernism: Post-Modernism. Authors who refuse even the modernist approach with its basic (anti)rules: Stream Of Consciousness, Symbolism and Absurd. That is, they deconstruct art ultimately. Art is what the author chooses. Anything can become art.
