	Modernization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modernization is the process of changing the conditions of a society, an organization or another group of people in ways that change the privileges of that group according to modern technology or modern knowledge.
		This was the standard view in the social sciences for many decades with its foremost advocate being Talcott Parsons.
		According to the Social theorist Peter Wagner, modernization can be seen as processes, and as offensives.

	Introduction to Wagner's Parsifal
		Wagner was a traveller to the East, to use Hermann Hesse's term; following the lead of Schopenhauer (on the left of the picture, holding a statue of the Buddha, one that he kept by his desk), in 1856 Wagner began to read about oriental religions, in particular those of India, Ceylon, Nepal and Tibet.
		Wagner's increasingly emphatic and often bad-tempered denials that he had based his drama on Wolfram's epic poem, while they might overstate the case, confirm that he had not simply followed in the footsteps of the medieval poet.
		Wagner recognized that the Grail legend, like other supposedly Christian myths, had a pagan origin; but is doubtful that any paganism remains in elements that Wagner chose for and adapted to his own purposes, from the Grail romances.

	From social movements to counter cultures
		This paper argues that the literature on contemporary social movements is essentially circular, representing a political reductionism within which the analysis of these movements in terms of (individual, collective, societal) instrumental rationality appears both as a premise and as a conclusion.
		Similarly, the claim that "social movements effect change largely through influencing existing institutions of political intermediation, particularly political parties" depends on a prior reduction of the field of enquiry to "concrete political analysis" (Scott 1990: 152, 140), yet this reduction is not itself examined [3].
		Within the "social movements" problematic as currently constructed, in other words, even the most "culturalist" authors and the most challenging conceptions of the social origins of new movements are ultimately contained within what might be called the "last instance" priority of instrumental political rationality [10].

	Philip Tagg \| Review of 'Music and Cultural Theory' by John Shepherd and Peter Wicke (1998)
		They are 'to feed musicology into cultural theory, to consider the implications for cultural theory of a viable theory for the social and cultural constitution of music as a particular and irreducible form of human expression and knowledge'.
		This theoretical distinction leads them to opt for the examination of 'music as a distinctive signifying practice of which individual pieces are evidence rather than to approach the question of its affectivity through the analysis of individual pieces which might, in their totality, be thought to constitute music' (p.122).
		They are taken at the time of their articulation to occasion in individual subjects as socially and culturally constituted the structure of feeling of this form of sexuality in a manner specific to themselves' (pp.95-96).

	The Willow Creek Dilemma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Peter Wagner is a radical Pentecostal/Charismatic who came from the academic halls of Fuller Theological Seminary and has strategically placed himself into the middle of an international network of "Christian" activities to help implement, organize and dominate a Global Church within the coming New World Order.
		Wagner recently proclaimed himself "presiding apostle" of a coalition of 200 "true" apostles by forming the "International Coalition of Apostles." Their mandate, of course, is to build and usher in the Kingdom of God.
		The most disturbing thing about Peter Wagner is that he is never really in the forefront of the Apostolic network and their adjacent false movements, and he is very shrewd about not being in the limelight.

	TheatreBooks -- Opera
		In this rich biography, Joachim Kohler draws on social and political analysis, documentary interpretation and psychological insights to paint a rounded picture of Wagner as a controversial historical phenomenon, an extraordinary artist, and a complex human being.
		Offenbach's operrettas, and their social significance, are the focus of this discussion which should be essential reading for anyone interested in modern critical and cultural studies.
		The fact is Wagner's dramas plunge us through myth and music deep into ourselves, and what we discover there -- often primitive, frightening, vindictive, and erotic -- are the feelings that we who have constructive roles in society have suppressed.

		Romanticism was an artistic and intellectual movement that originated in the late 18th century and stressed strong emotion, imagination, freedom from classical correctness in art forms, and rebellion against social conventions.
		While this view partly explains Romantic fascination with the Middle Ages, the actual causes of the Romantic movement itself correspond to the sense of rapid, dynamic social change that culminated in the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era.
		Both poets were also involved in Utopian social thought in the wake of the French Revolution.
