    Post Modernism, on the other hand, is ‘after modernism’, and in many ways postmodernism constitutes an attack on modernist claims about the existence of truth and value, claims that come from the European enlightenment of the 18th century. In disputing past assumptions postmodernists generally display a preoccupation with the inadequacy of language as a mode of communication. One such famous postmodernist theorist is French philosopher Jacques…

    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…

    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…

    Postmodernism is best understood by defining the modernist ethos it replaced - that of the avant-garde who were active from 1860s to the 1950s. The various artists in the modern period were driven by a radical and forward thinking approach, ideas of technological positivity, and grand narratives of Western domination and progress. The arrival of Neo-Dada and Pop art in post-war America marked the beginning of a reaction against this mindset that came to be known as postmodernism. The reaction took on multiple artistic forms for the next four decades, including Conceptual art, Minimalism, Video art, Performance art, and Installation art. These movements are diverse and disparate but connected by certain characteristics: ironical and playful…

    It was not only the United States and Europe that were touched by Modernism; Latin America was also feeling the effect of this shift in the art world during the beginning of the 20th century. While beginning to achieve some level of independence from its European occupiers, Latin American and its artists were embracing Modernism which fit well with the mixed race cultures of this region. The indigenous peoples of Mexico, for instance, endured a brutal occupation by the Spanish starting in 1521 by Hernán Cortés(1485 - 1547) until the Mexican revolution(1910-1920) after which the indigenous peoples were honored and encourage to become educated. One of the artists discussed in this paper is Diego Rivera(1886-1957) who was a champion of these native peoples. This paper will compare Zapatista Landscape (1915) by Diego Rivera and Three Musicians (1921) by Pablo Picasso(1881-1973).…

    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 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.…

    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…
