  Modernism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modernism was seen in Europe in such critical movements as Dada, and then in constructive movements such as Surrealism, as well as in smaller movements such as the Bloomsbury Group.
By 1930, Modernism had entered popular culture with "The Jazz Age" and the increasing urbanization of populations, it had begun making systematic challenges to previous art and ideas, and was beginning to be looked to as the source for ideas to deal with the host of challenges faced in that particular historical moment.
Modernism was, by this point, increasingly, represented in academia and was developing a self-conscious theory of its own importance.

 TheCriticalPoet - Featured Movement - Modernism
Modernism arose from a backlash against Victorian ideals, which now seemed questionable in the widespread turmoil and suffering of the early 20th century.
The modern poet had a different world from the Victorian poets to contemplate, and thus employed new forms and styles as fitting this new disillusioned world view.
The self-conscious modern poet was often also a critic, as was the case with T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, W.B. Yeats, and John Crowe Ransom.

 Modernism - Enpsychlopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The modern movement emerged in the late 19th century, and was rooted in the idea that "traditional" forms of art, literature, social organization and daily life had become outdated, and that it was therefore essential to sweep them aside and reinvent culture.
Rather than a lockstep organization, it is better to see modernism as taking a series of responses to the situation as it was understood, and the attempt to wrestle universal principles from it.

 The Culture of Modernism
Modernism as a cultural phenomenon, and the possibility of its having been succeeded by something else, often called Postmodernity, is rarely discussed in semiotics.
It should be clear that Modernism, and thus the applicability of the formalist model has a beginning, not, perhaps, as far as the divorce from the standard medium is concerned, but as to the ever-repeated dialectics of struggle and reformation (in the terms of the Prague theses) applied to established artistic forms.
The rhetoric of Modernism is really of the latter kind: it makes us expect, at time 1, that the work of art created at time 2 will be different from that existing at time t1.
