Modernity Theme It has been an argument of this class that modernity in East Asia has not simply been “Westernization,” a process of implantation into East Asian society of Western values and practices. Rather, we have argued that while Western values and practices have often been used as models or sources, the social transformation known as modernization has been carried out by Asians themselves in accordance with their own agendas. Write a short essay analyzing how modernity, or the process of modernization, has been understood by specific authors in at least three sources from across the twentieth century. What does it mean to be “modern” or to “modernize?” What elements of society require or have succumbed to modernization? What are the costs of not modernizing (or of modernizing) and who bears them? Who will benefit? ...

Postmodernism developed as a reaction against modernism and its ideals of objectivity, rationality, and absolute truth. Postmodernism rejects the idea of grand narratives and universal principles, instead embracing ambiguity and uncertainty. It emerged in the late 20th century across various disciplines like art, literature, philosophy, and architecture. Postmodernism is characterized by fragmentation, paradox, subjective viewpoints, and challenging traditional norms and structures.

This document summarizes an introduction to a dossier on Orientalism. It discusses how, 30 years after Edward Said's seminal work Orientalism, perceptions of the Other ("the Orient") from the Western perspective still contain many stereotypes and myths. The introduction notes how globalization has made Eastern cultures more present worldwide, yet stereotypes persist. It briefly reviews Said's thesis that the West has constructed and maintained authority over the Orient through academic study, discourse that positions East vs. West, and styles of domination. The introduction argues the dossier will explore continued relevance of Said's work through articles on topics like history, philosophy, anthropology and literature regarding Eastern Asia.

Essays On Modernism.pdf

Emily Parrish

Modernism encompassed diverse artistic and cultural movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that challenged traditional forms of expression. Essays on modernism require a comprehensive understanding of its complexities. The scope of modernism must be defined, and key aspects like influences and themes analyzed through research. Additionally, the essay must examine the historical context and societal shifts that influenced modernism's emergence. Balancing depth with conciseness is also challenging, given modernism's expansive nature. Crafting a coherent essay on modernism's intricacies is a rigorous intellectual task that demands research, critical thinking, and structured writing.

- Modernism was characterized by a focus on unity, universal truths, and individuals working together rationally toward a common goal as described by a "grand narrative." Later modernists acknowledged more fragmentation but still believed in an underlying unified reality. - Postmodern theorists like Lyotard and Toulmin rejected the idea of a single grand narrative and instead saw the world as comprised of multiple localized "language games" or "cosmopolises" that were always evolving. - Foucault argued that modernity was not a period of history but an "attitude" embraced by individuals, and he characterized contemporary society as "disciplinary" with complex flows of power, challenging modernist ideas of individual empowerment and

The document discusses the emergence and benefits of interdisciplinary economics. It notes that in the 21st century, interdisciplinary economics has established itself as a useful approach to addressing complex real-world problems. Interdisciplinary economics integrates economics with other fields like history, sociology, and psychology using "interdisciplinary instruments" from the theory of interdisciplinarity. This integration facilitates cooperation between scientists from different disciplines and the creation of more sophisticated analyses. The document provides examples of interdisciplinary academic programs that combine economics with other subjects. It argues that interdisciplinary economics will continue developing as a way to explain phenomena by sharing concepts and theories across disciplinary boundaries.

The passage discusses how humans are extracting and applying the "logic of Bios" (nature's logic) to mechanical systems through bioengineering and synthetic biology. Some key points: - Nature's logic is required to build truly complex systems like cells, ecosystems, economies, and brains. - As computers and human systems grew more complex, it became possible to prove that one could abstract and apply the laws of life elsewhere. - Traits like self-replication, self-governance, limited self-repair, and partial learning have been successfully transferred to mechanical systems. - At the same time, the "logic of Technos" (technology's logic) is being applied to living things through techniques

What to doRead chapter 9 inCritical Theory Today.Belo.docx

mecklenburgstrelitzh

What to do: Read chapter 9 in Critical Theory Today . Below are a series of questions taken from your textbook that a Post Colonial critic might ask about a text. In response to one of these questions, post a statement about a novel. Choose one question, and answer in 300 words. Use these books: 1- “critical theory today” chapter 9 2- ” what lies between us” The following questions are intended to summarize approaches to literary analysis employed by new historicists and cultural critics. In the terminology of cultural criticism, these questions offer us ways to examine the cultural work performed by literary texts. As you read these questions and imagine the ways in which a new historical or cultural critic might address them, keep in mind that, for such critics, no historical event, artifact, or ideology can be completely understood in isolation from the innumerable historical events, artifacts, and ideologies among which it circulates, and our own cultural experience inevitably influences our perceptions, making true objectivity impossible. For we can use new historical and cultural criticism properly only if we keep clearly in mind that our analysis is always incomplete, partial, and our perspective is always sub‑ jective. We can’t stand outside our own culture and analyze texts from an objec‑ tive vantage point. We can write only from within our own historical moment. 1. How does the literary text function as part of a continuum with other his‑ torical and cultural texts from the same period, for example, penal codes, birthing practices, educational priorities, the treatment of children under the law, other art forms (including popular art forms), attitudes toward sexuality, and the like? That is, taken as part of a “thick description” of a given culture at a given point in history, what does this literary work add to our tentative understanding of human experience in that particular time and place, including the ways in which individual identity shapes and is shaped by cultural institutions? 2. How can we use a literary work to “map” the interplay of both traditional and subversive discourses circulating in the culture in which that work emerged and/or the cultures in which the work has been interpreted? Put another way, how does the text promote ideologies that support and/or undermine the prevailing power structures of the time and place in which it was written and/or interpreted? 3. Using rhetorical analysis (analysis of a text’s purpose and the stylistic means by which it tries to achieve that purpose), what does the literary text add to our understanding of the ways in which literary and nonliterary discourses (such as political, scientific, economic, and educational theo‑ ries) have influenced, overlapped with, and competed with one another at specific historical moments? 4. What does the literary work suggest about the experience of groups of people who have been ignored, underrepresente.

This summary provides an overview of the evolution of social theories from modernism to postmodernism. Modernism was characterized by Enlightenment thinking that emphasized unity, objective science, universal morality and reason as driving humanity towards a common goal. Later modernists acknowledged more fragmentation but still believed in linear progress and rational social orders. Postmodern theorists like Lyotard rejected grand narratives and argued that knowledge is produced locally through diverse language games rather than being a tool for authorities. The document traces this shift from theories of a unified social reality and global understanding to pluralistic theories embracing local networks and differences.

This document summarizes the evolution of theories of social ontology from modernism to postmodernism. It discusses key thinkers and their perspectives, including: Lyotard rejecting grand narratives in favor of local "language games"; Toulmin arguing that societies are constantly reshaping their understanding through discourse rather than following a singular dominant narrative; and Foucault suggesting that contemporary society is structured through hierarchical observation and discipline rather than individuals freely pursuing unified truth. The document analyzes how these postmodern thinkers disrupted modernist ideas of objective science, universal morality and progress toward a common goal, instead embracing pluralism and localized networks of knowledge production.

MOVING “NETWORKS” INTO THE COMPOSITION CLASSROOM Jessica Clements English 626: Postmodernism, Rhetoric, Composition March 7, 2010 Class papers often include a title page, but consult with your instructor (it’s acceptable to include the title on the first page of text). The title should be centered a third of the way down the page, and your name and class information should follow several lines later. W hen subtitles apply, end the title with a colon and place the subtitle on the line below the title. Different practices apply for theses and dissertations (see Kate L. Turabian’s A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations [7th ed.], 373-408). Blue boxes contain directions for writing and citing in Chicago’s Notes and Bibliography style. Green text boxes contain explanations of Chicago style guidelines. Double-space all text in the paper, with the following exceptions: Single-space block quotations as well as table titles and figure captions. Single- space notes and bibliographies internally, but leave an extra line space externally between note and bibliographic entries. Margins should be set at no less than 1” and no greater than 1.5”. Margins in this sample paper have been set at 1.25” to accommodate explanatory comment boxes. The recommended typeface is something readable, such as Times New Roman or Palatino. Use no less than ten- point type, but the preference is for twelve-point font. Most importantly, be consistent! 1 In Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies, Jodi Dean argues that “imagining a rhizome might be nice, but rhizomes don’t describe the underlying structure of real networks,”1 rejecting the idea that there is such a thing as a nonhierarchical interconnectedness that structures our contemporary world and means of communication. Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, on the other hand, argue that the Internet is an exemplar of the rhizome: a nonhierarchical, noncentered network—a democratic network with “an indeterminate and potentially unlimited number of interconnected nodes [that] communicate with no central point of control.”2 Our journey begins with early modernism, and if early modernism had a theme, it was oneness. This focus on oneness or unity, on the whole rather than on individual parts, What is at stake in settling this dispute? Being. And, knowledge and power in that being. More specifically, this paper explores how a theory of social ontology has evolved to theories of social ontologies, how the modernist notion of global understanding of individuals working toward a common (rationalized and objectively knowable) goal became pluralistic postmodern theories embracing the idea of local networks. Furthermore, what this summary journey of theoretical evolution allows for is a consideration of why understandings of a world comprising emergent networks need be .

Modernism had a significant impact on educational systems as it promoted new ways of thinking and experimentation. Traditional education focused on rote learning through lectures while modern education emphasizes participatory and experiential learning using new technologies. Modernization led to both benefits like increased access to education, literacy, and career opportunities, as well as challenges such as stress, competition, and urbanization's impact on family structures. The development of nations is now closely tied to investments in education to develop skilled workforces and knowledge economies.
