The Rise of the So-Called Pre-Modern (2015)
Graham, James ed. 2000+ The Urgencies of Architectural Theory
“There cannot be such a thing as a Pre-Modern, for it would mean that modernism has
become the Archimedean point of understanding history backward into all of time and
space.”
“We live in a globalized world, and architecture students should know the range of
issues associated with their discipline as they encounter that world.”
“My definition of modernism is purposefully simple: Modernism is a condition of
rupture.”

16. Ferdinand de Saussure
Cours de linguistique générale (1916)
"Language is no longer regarded as peripheral to our grasp of the world we live in, but as central to it.
Words are not mere vocal labels or communicational adjuncts superimposed upon an already given
order of things. They are collective products of social interaction, essential instruments through which
human beings constitute and articulate their world. This typically twentieth-century view of language
has profoundly influenced developments throughout the whole range of human sciences. It is
particularly marked in linguistics, philosophy, psychology, sociology and anthropology".

17. Ruth Benedict
Patterns of Culture (1934)
A culture, like an individual, is a more or less consistent pattern of thought and action. Each culture chooses from "the
great arc of human potentialities" only a few characteristics which become the leading personality traits of the persons
living in that culture. These traits comprise an interdependent constellation of aesthetics and values in each culture which
together add up to a unique gestalt.
