Go fourth and resolve. Amen.

I prefer sevenths, but long live the resolution!

modernism

See, anyone can post modernism...no sweat...so?....

And you can post futurism or you can post ancientism, too....see?...I just did.

It's just a post.

So why is modernism such a big deal?

BTW, every era thinks it's modern in its own time anyway...so the post is pretty irrelevant, isn't it?

every era thinks it's modern in its own time anyway - this was so until postmodernism came about. It refers to a time which was not it's own. And nobody knows what will come after it..

The real trouble is that Modernism is (quite literally) a term of art, and the phrase just gets batted around by many folk without understanding its context and full connotations.

http://www.artsmia.org/modernism/

So when people try to define the differing social and artistic premises of a later emerging movement in the arts, the term postmodernism comes to have an even sloppier general meaning in the wider community, even if most arts practitioners have a pretty good understanding of what they mean by the coinage.

But hey, write your own definition, why doncha? ;)

I've also seen the term post-postmodernism bantered about of late.

I've always looked at them as being interconnected.
