	Purism - Purism Art
		Purism was another movement interested in a kind of utopian vision of art and the modern world.
		In their own manifesto, Après le Cubisme, published in 1918, they criticized that the heirs of Cubism produced an art that was essentially decorative and ornamental which they believed to be inferior to an approach that would give attention to the basic, essential form of objects.
		Purism is the aesthetic approach that was advocated and practiced by the architect Charles-Edouard Jeanneret (later called Le Corbusier) and Amédée Ozenfant.

	Croatian linguistic purism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the features of Croatian language, common to many Central-European languages (Czech, German, Polish) is word coinage.
		Croatian tradition of neologisms and linguistic purism goes back to the earliest documents of literacy (11th to 12th century), but it was in the Renaissance Croatian literature that this characteristic has become dominant.
		Croatian linguists fought this wave of "populist purism", led by various patriotic non-linguists.

	Linguistic Purism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Linguistic purism is therefore one expression (one that can perhaps be measured) of primordial devotion in the Tamil world.
		Purism is the opening of the native sources and closure of the non-native sources for the enrichment of the language.
		...The factors which lead to purism may be, theoretically, internal or external to the language...More important than any structural consideration is the attitude of speakers toward native and non-native elements....

	Language Purism in Korea
		Language purism in Korea first came into being at the turn of the century with attacks against the use of Chinese orthography and, later, the corresponding words of Chinese origin, Sino-Korean words, became targets after liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945.
		The aim of this paper is to describe the history and scope of the efforts of language purism in both North and South Korea.
		In this explanation of Korean language purism, a focus will be placed on those features that have become the main targets of the purification movements in the North and the South.

	Purism as language policy. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		As we can see, devotion to linguistic purism is a kind of language policy--there is an attempt to control where vocabulary comes from, what sources (external or internal) it will draw from, what syntactic and derivational process it will utilize.
		Purism may be associated with religious fundamentalism and fundamentalist movements, with political movements, nationalism, national integration, millennialism, and many other kinds of social, political and cultural phenomena.
		They are often very unscientific, relying on dubious ideas about what is native and what is not, and as a result many aspects of the movement get `fudged' because of ignorance of the history of various words, or because it becomes too complicated to remain consistent.

		Purism, that of Amedee Ozenfant, and Charles-Edouard Jeanneret who later called himself Le Corbusier (pronounced Lay Cor-BOO-see-ay).
		Nearly all of their paintings were still-lifes and nearly all of them depicted clearly delineated everyday objects, arranged with a "grammar of sensibility" celebrating simplified forms and standard, time-tested compositional devices and unity.
		Purism was the antithesis of accidental or emotional art, favoring instead the synthesis of line, planes, shapes, and color first coming from Picasso's and Braque's Synthetic Cubism, but drawing back from the near total disintegration of recognizable content which was evolving from Cubism.

		Instead they proposed a kind of painting in which objects were represented as powerful basic forms stripped of detail.
		A crucial element of Purism was its embrace of technology and the machine and it aimed to give mechanical and industrial subject matter a timeless, classical quality.
		Purism reached a climax in Le Corbusier's Pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau (Pavilion of the New Spirit), built in 1925 for the International Exposition of Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris.

	Thinkism Art Movement - Founding - Fine Art for the 21st Century (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Jeanneret and Ozenfant first described the principles of Purism in 1918 in a small book entitled Après le cubisme (After Cubism).
		Jeanneret and Ozenfant shared with Fernand Léger an enthusiasm for the beauty of the machine aesthetic and precisely delineated forms, but they went even further in reducing such elements to a simplified geometry and combining them to produce compositions of unruffled harmony.
		Purism’s movement away from the radical vocabulary of the preceding decade can be seen as part of a pervasive desire for a “return to order” after World War I and the consequent widespread neoclassical tendency among European artists of the period.

	The Superhero Hype! Boards - F4's biggest enemy - Purism
		Doom going into space and receiving his powers from the same cosmic rays that hit the Fantastic Four is not a minor change.
		When dealing with a set of characters with a complex, 40+ year history, you cannot (and should not) pack everything into a 2 hour movie.
		Personally: I think that cosmic-powered superheroes fighting a caped, armor clad, masked ruler on a castle turf is one of the most striking and unique concepts in comic history.

	Knowing the word trikkhe: against purism in the study of language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Linguistics has been practising an antipurism that this paper argues should be developed explicitly.
		Scientific study of language presupposes the untenability of any purism, religious (sacred initial languages), historicist (past purer than decadent present), or codal (homogeneous codes purer than hybrids), forcing us into idealizations based on social assumptions about real or pure languages or items.
		As generativism outgrows the structural-formalist purism of an inner Form that would be defiled by Substance, generative representations begin to provide an extended interface between expression and content, not a unique interpoint.
