Topic: Hypermodernism


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  Hypermodernism (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hypermodernism is a school of chess thought which advocates controlling the centre of the board with distant pieces rather than with pawns, thus inviting the opponent to occupy the centre with pawns which can then become objects of attack.
Hypermodern openings include the Réti Opening, King's Indian Defence, Queen's Indian Defence, Nimzo-Indian Defence, Bogo-Indian Defence, Old Indian Defence, Catalan Opening, King's Indian Attack, Alekhine's Defence, Modern Defence, Pirc Defence and to a lesser degree the English Opening.
Openings such as 1.a3 do not constitute hypermodern openings since, although they delay the occupation of the centre with pawns, they also delay development which is not consistent with Hypermodernism.

 Hypermodernism
In chess, Hypermodernism is a strategy of play which controls the center of the board with distant pieces rather than with pawns, inviting the opponent to occupy the center with pawns which can then become objects of attack.
Hypermodernism refers to a cultural, artistic, literary and architectural movement distinguished from Modernism and Postmodernism chiefly by its extreme and antithetical approach.
Some theorists view hypermodernism as a form of resistance to standard modernism; others see it as late romanticism in modernist trappings.

Isolating the physiological aspect (the augmentation of physiology as a reaction to social stimuli), hypermodernism can be viewed as an epiphenomenon of postmodern society.
Hypermodernism would then be the denial of naturalism and a forced transition towards mechanization.
Kelly, I barely get it too… but what hypermodernism means in the context of this post is augmentation of a body to save the mind, not for a faster, bigger mind.

Hypermodern openings are what we call just about anything that does not try to occupy the center with pawns (which is what we usually call classical play).
Hypermodernism is a strategic concept, not a tactical one, and you cannot talk of tactical themes that span the category.
Remember also that the true concept of hypermodernism, according to one of its inventors, Reti, is the avoidance of routine play.

 The Historical Present
“Hypermodernism” is characterized by brilliance, disposability, glamour, superficiality - in a word, unreality.
"Hypermodernism describes an intensification of the worst features of modernity and is constituted by a "hyperreality, "hyperactivity" and "hyperintelligence", which contrasted with "focal realism," "patient vigor," and "communal celebration".
Some writers try to grasp this state by laying stress on visual representations, imitations, "masks", "simulacra" having no originals which construct a fictional world and identity.

Hypermodernism produces hypertrophic versions of the 3 developments of the pomo economy: info processing, flexible specialization, and informed cooperation.
Hypermodernism can only be met by a genuine alternative: in a finite world, devotion to one thing curbs another.
Pomo realism is to comprehend modernism and hypermodernism through a schematic account, thus creating a clearing where reality can come to be present in a narrative recounting; pomo discourse is properly narrative, but is also schematic when it comes to general features and generic traits.

 Crossing the Postmodern Divide with Borgmann: Adventures in Cyberspace
Borgmann thus deploys three sets of triadic schemata to contrast the modern with two ways of living the postmodern condition, one of which intensifies modernism (i.e.
hypermodernism) and one that breaks more radically with it and thus constitutes a genuinely postmodern alternative.
In Borgmann's words: "The alternative tendency is to outgrow technology as a way of life and to put it in the service of reality, of the things that command our respect and grace our life.

Although there are many controversial questions connected to Virilio's cultural theory, his hypermodern critique of military tactics, strategies, and technologies is beginning to collide with the thought of a growing number of other cultural theorists such as the Krokers' (1997).
Revealing the dromological and political conditions of the twenty-first century, Virilio interprets modernity in terms of a military conception of history and the endo-colonization of the human body by militarised technoscience.
As I have indicated, the concept of hypermodernism needs to be uppermost in any understanding of Virilio's particular contribution to cultural theory.

One, which is the direct descendent of modern technology and is much more prominent at the surface of recent developments, I call hypermodernism.
It is devoted to the design of a technologically sophisticated and glamorously unreal universe, distinguished by its hyperreality, hyperactivity, and hyperintelligence.
Hypermodernism derives much of its energy from its supposed alternative, a sullen resignation to the decline of the modern era, a sullenness that is palpable, particularly in this country.

 TP: New Enlightenment
I am a proponent of hypermodernism, which is not very fashionable, even not in American universities.
In Zarathustra he asked: "Why do you not pluck at my wreath?" And this attitude of pancritical rationalism, the idea that intellectual authorities must always be open to challenge, is a part of hypermodernism and something what makes it perhaps different from modernism, which has a more authoritarian idea of intellectual standards.
In hypermodernism there is the idea that there is an objective reality out there, that it is discoverable and comprehensible, but it is not easy to find it.

Not all private artists making original work, (in terms of an individual piece versus something that is inherently meant for mass production), or don't make make ironic mass culture commentary are John Waynes, riding off into the sunset.
I didn't say that about hypermodernism, something that came along with Charly bringing Virilio into discussion.
I have read Virilio in the distant past and did find him relevant, but then maybe I tend to see that type of concept construction as rhetoric (good rhetoric) to further an understanding, hence line of defense to deal with the onslaught of tech culture or whatever culture.

I argue that hypermodernism does not, per se, issue from the Object as structure, that its forms - in a Platonic sense - are not plastic, but conceptual.

 Chess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Openings are often designed to take hold of the center of the board (e4, e5, d4 and d5), develop pieces, protect the king, and create a strong pawn structure.
The Classical School of chess expounds the virtues of occupying the center early using pawns and/or pieces, while Hypermodernism advocates the control of the center not by using pawns but with distant pieces.
It is often important for a player to castle (a special move that moves the king from the center of the board two squares towards one of the corners) to protect the king.

The parallelism with language is intended to point out how communication, both visual and written, is a major element of continuity between early Modernism and contemporary architecture, which we believe to be not simply connected to Modernism in a simple chronological succession, but as an empowerment of the movement’s basic belief and characteristics: Hypermodernism.
Let’s take a step back to the beginning of the century, a time of great social changes: cities are going through great expansion due to the increasing level of industrialization, which also brings along new materials and new techniques, whose potentiality is still to be explored.
Hypermodernism is fiercely pursuing the zeitgeist ideal, a form of architecture that could derive from its time, describe its time, and eventually exert an influence on its time.

The first work under this title was published in 1929, when all the World was under the impression of hypermodernism: it seemed, that "mysterious stone" of chess was found.
Passions around hypermodernism were settled to those time and it was time to return to unfading values, created by classicists and romanticists, and to give a new assessment of the idea wealth, accumulated in chess.
The second book was published in two volumes ("Plan" and "Combination"), and the volume, dedicated to the combination, was published in a soft-cover and was preserved only at a few people up to now.

Just the same, unlike Lyotard's or Baudrillard's postmodernism, Virilio's hypermodernism does not articulate itself as a divergence from modernism and modernity but as a critical analysis of modernism and modernity through a catastrophic perception of technology.
It is for these and other reasons that Virilio defines his general position as a critic of the art of technology.

It took a few more brain cycles, but the relationship between physiology and hypermodernity materialized into a somewhat coherent statement:
Whereas postmodernism views simulacra as the building blocks of the postmodern discourse, in a way that genes are the building blocks of human physiology, hypermodernism focuses the discourse on human physiology itself, where humans turn into their own simulacra through physical augmentation.
So in short, mechanization of the human body as a reaction to societal pressures, including information overload, leads to the transformation of such body into its own simulacrum.

Some Millenials have called the Emergent movement and example of "hypermodernism" rather than authentically postmodern.
We are not in a singularly "postmodern" culture, but one in which modernism, hypermodernism, postmodernism and Holism (what I consider to be the direction we are moving) are all flowing together like the waters of a confused sea in a bay.
Under these conditions, with these currents at once fighting each other and flowing together it is difficult to reliably map out the direction of the current.

To correspond to the pre-modern era, some people simply call the nineties post-modern.
However, some people (for instance, Albert Borgmann) don't believe that modernism has died, it has only moved to a higher level: hypermodernism.
This era is characterized by a new frenzy of activity by those hanging on to the theory of "progress." Not only do people still believe in the idea of neatly separated "nations", but we are even subdividing them into smaller pieces to better suit the interest of the peoples within.
