Postmodern philosophy

(she died before her 40th birthday) with her family in Milledgeville, Georgia (Byam 2523). O’Connor contracted lupus at the age of 25, which also claimed her father’s life years prior. (Byam 2523). Ever the optimist, though, she managed to continue writing about the major influences in her life (regionalist writings, bawdy humor, and Roman Catholicism); in spite of those who criticized her works for their bawdy and inherently regionalist nature (Byam 2523). Unfortunately, O’Connor ended up succumbing to her lupus infection (as her infection never truly underwent remission, it remained hidden until she relapsed) and died in 1964 (Byam 2523). As a writer, though, she primarily acted as a major figure in the deconstructionist portion of the postmodern era; many of her works acted to disassemble common tropes of regionalist writings. When discussing O’Connor’s literary prowess, one work she wrote is “Good Country People;” the story innately is a deconstruction on common tropes associated with regionalist literature, specifically the idea illustrated by the title and how the characters, despite discussing the idea frequently, subvert any suggestion that they are “good country people.” Hopewell, despite being a person who admires the “salt of the earth” (O’Connor, 2529), constantly had a condescending attitude toward every person she had working for her (including her recent tenants), due to her social status; the Freeman’s, despite being rather simple people, had sarcastic takes…

" Twenty percent of those who went to church as a teenager said that God appeared to them "not enough". The study also showed that many young people do not like the negative attitude of the Church towards science in general and the obvious scientific facts, in particular. More than a third of young people said that "Christians are too confident in their responses to any question" and one quarter of them said that they believe that "Christianity is anti-science." Modernity to Post-Modernity…

years ago appeared to have failed, and science had proven that it could not prove the origin of the universe, a new philosophical and artistic expression moved in to fill the void of the Modernist Movement. The Postmodern Movement was born out of a lack of faith in society and the established way of life as a whole, and embraced the philosophy of meaninglessness and a rejection of the transcendental meta-narrative. This move has been fully expressed in Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose and…

certainties, and definitions. It feels that there is no singular truth or answer, and rejected the sentiments that there is one true God, history is progress or peace on Earth. Instead of one overall truth, things are understood on a micro level, ideas like reality are realized by how we see them individually. In literature, or movies in my case, this is characterized by self-referentially, moral relativism, cynicism and irony. The End of the Tour is a film centered around the life of David…

Three words to describe Jen Schwarting’s exhibit are Appropriation, narrative art and snapshot aesthetic. The narrative element is interwoven into the exhibit. The artist provides spectators with the general story of the subjects, drunk girls. However viewers are clueless to the individualized stories of the girls. As well as the relationship between the subjects and the photographers. Viewers can’t help but create or ponder the possibilities of the relationship the that exists between them. The…

In this project, Helguera presented his first solo exhibition in Belgium. He wanted to honor the history of Belgian civil societies of free thoughts. Many of the Belgian freethinkers influence the liberals and socialist during the XXth century. Freethinkers wanted to replace the rituals of the church, such as secular of sacred and festival of youth. The Project was inspired to have the ideas on burying the scientific theories and philosophies that were questionable or failed. He had ashes that…

Matisse's painting Dance, is often considered to be the painting that launched his artistic career and got him into the mainstream of modern art as we know it today. The Dance is known to be a key example of modernism since it satisfies the quota that art critic Clement Greenberg has set forward for us and paves a new direction in modern art for future generations to follow. According to Greenberg, modernism in painting should have a strong focus on the basic structure presented in each artwork…

The art of the 1980s was a simple, colorful, yet controversial time for most artists. It was often simplistic and easy to produce for most of the art was repetitive and at a glance plain. Critiques questioned the definition of art and what defines art since art started to become a bit more abstract and restrained from imitating life. For example, a very controversial artist from the 1980s, Andy Warhol was often looked down upon by others seeing that his pop art included much repetition of the…
