Download Mock Modernism: An Anthology of Parodies, Travesties, by Leonard Diepeveen PDF

By Leonard Diepeveen
How was once the modernist circulation understood via most people whilst it was once first rising? this query might be addressed by way of how modernist literature and artwork have been interpreted by means of newshounds in day-by-day newspapers, mainstream magazines like Punch and Vanity Fair, and literary magazines. within the earliest many years of the stream – prior to modernist artists have been thought of very important, and earlier than modernism’s that means used to be basically understood – lots of those interpretations took the shape of parodies.
Mock Modernism is an anthology of those a laugh items, the overpowering majority of that have now not been in print because the first many years of the 20 th century. They contain Max Beerbohm’s send-up of Henry James; J.C. Squire’s account of the way a poet, writing intentionally incomprehensible poetry as a hoax, turned the poet laureate of the British Bolshevist Revolution; and the Chicago Record-Herald’s account of a few artwork scholars’ “trial” of Henri Matisse for “crimes opposed to anatomy.” An creation and headnotes via Leonard Diepeveen spotlight the usefulness of those items for comprehending media and public perceptions of a kind of artwork that might later improve a nearly unassailable power.

By Daniel Tiffany
My Silver Planet (taking its identify from John Keats) contends that the matter of elite poetry’s relation to pop culture bears the indelible mark of its turbulent incorporation of vernacular poetry—a legacy formed by means of nostalgia, contempt, and fraudulence. Daniel Tiffany reactivates and essentially redefines the concept that of kitsch, liberating it from modernist misapprehension and mock, by means of tracing its beginning to poetry’s alienation from the emergent class of literature. He excavates the forgotten heritage of poetry’s relation to kitsch, starting with the exuberant revival of archaic (and frequently spurious) ballads in Britain within the early eighteenth century. In those arguable occasions of poetic imposture, Tiffany identifies a submerged pact—in competition to the bourgeois values of literature—between elite and vernacular poetries.
Tiffany argues that the ballad revival—the earliest specific formation of what we now name well known culture—sparked a doubtful yet doubtless impossible to resist flirtation (among elite audiences) with poetic forgery that endures this present day within the ambiguity of the kitsch artifact: Is it genuine or pretend, artwork or kitsch? He is going directly to hint the family tree of kitsch in texts starting from nursery rhymes and poetic melodrama to the lyric commodities of Baudelaire. He scrutinizes the fascist "paradise" inscribed in Ezra Pound’s Cantos, in addition to the avant-garde poetry of the hot York university and its debt to pop and "plastic" paintings. by way of exposing and elaborating the ancient poetics of kitsch, My Silver Planet transforms our feel of kitsch as a class of fabric culture.

Download Caribbean Perspectives on Modernity: Returning Medusa's Gaze by Maria Cristina Fumagalli PDF

By Maria Cristina Fumagalli
Taking up the problem of redefining modernity from a Caribbean perspective
rather than assuming that the North Atlantic view of modernity is common, Maria Cristina
Fumagalli indicates how the Caribbean's contributions to the fashionable international not just supply a more
actual account of the prior but in addition have the aptitude to alter the best way we imagine
the long run. Fumagalli makes use of the parable of Medusa's gaze turning humans into stone to explain the
method North Atlantic modernity freezes its "others" right into a country of perpetual backwardness that
produces an ethnocentric narrative according to homogenization, vilification, and disempowerment
that actively ignores what fails to comply to the tale it desires to inform approximately itself. In
studying narratives of modernity that originate within the Caribbean, the writer explores the
region's refusal to succumb to Medusa's spell and highlights its techniques to outstare the
Gorgon.
Reflecting a range of texts, genres, and media, the chapters concentration on
sixteenth-century engravings and work from the Netherlands and Italy, a systematic romance
produced on the flip of the 20th century by means of the king of the Caribbean island Redonda,
modern collections of poetry from the anglophone Caribbean, a ancient novel via the
Guadeloupean author Maryse Condé, a Latin epic, a Homeric hymn, historic Egyptian rites,
fairy stories, romances from England and Jamaica, an extended narrative poem by way of the Nobel Prize winner
Derek Walcott, and work through artists from Europe and the Americas spanning the seventeenth
century to the current. Caribbean views on Modernity offers an
unique and artistic contribution to what it capacity to be modern.
