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:
Paragraph 4, Sentence 9:
Baudelaire’s alienated withdrawal inside the intricacy of form now opens the way for rebuilding a formal site where the spirit learns to dwell reflexively within its own deepest powers and, for some of the poets, to project from such states the Orphic task of building a truly habitable city.
Charles Altieri, “Modernism and Postmodernism,” The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics (1993), 792-796.
