CONCEPT
This “project” is an informal discussion of modernism and postmodernism, ultimately to be applied to the larger Gothic Funk debate. A more detailed description of the project is available here. PLEASE ADD YOUR COMMENTS AND JOIN THE DEBATE:
Note: Gemma addressed the difficulty of analyzing an article sentence-by-sentence when it is intended to be read as an organic whole. Ultimately I see this project as progressive, so we’ll be organically building on what has come before, but I think the forest-vs.-trees suggestion is valid. Within the next several days I will try to pin down an online copy of the complete article. If not, I will type it up myself on hereisnowhy. Look for an update soon.
Paragraph 2, Sentence 3:
Therefore, in the 19th century, artists began to develop their own account of what it meant to be modern.
