  • New Modernism(S)
    New Modernism(s) BEN DUVALL 5 Intro: Surfaces and Signs 13 The Typography of Utopia/Dystopia 27 The Hyperlinked Sign 41 The Aesthetics of Refusal 5 Intro: Surfaces and Signs What can be said about graphic design, about the man- ner in which its artifact exists? We know that graphic design is a manipulation of certain elements in order to communicate, specifically typography and image, but in order to be brought together, these elements must exist on the same plane–the surface. If, as semi- oticians have said, typography and images are signs in and of themselves, then the surface is the locus for the application of sign systems. Based on this, we arrive at a simple equation: surface + sign = a work of graphic design. As students and practitioners of this kind of “surface curation,” the way these elements are functioning currently should be of great interest to us. Can we say that they are operating in fundamentally different ways from the way they did under modern- ism? Even differently than under postmodernism? Per- haps the way the surface and sign are treated is what distinguishes these cultural epochs from one another. We are confronted with what Roland Barthes de- fined as a Text, a site of interacting and open signs, 6 NEW MODERNISM(S) and therefore, a site of reader interpretation and of SIGNIFIER + SIGNIFIED = SIGN semiotic play.1 This is of utmost importance, the treat- ment of the signs within a Text is how we interpret, Physical form of an Ideas represented Unit of meaning idea, e.g.

Connections between Gilles Lipovetsky’s Hypermodern Times and Post-Soviet Russian Cinema James M. Brandon Associate Professor [email protected] Department of Theatre and Speech Hillsdale College Hillsdale, MI ABSTRACT In prominent French social philosopher Gilles Lipovetsky’s Hypermodern Times (2005), the author asserts that the world has entered the period of hypermodernity, a time where the primary concepts of modernity are taken to their extreme conclusions. The conditions Lipovetsky described were already manifesting in a number of post-Soviet Russian films. In the tradition of Slavoj Zizek’s Enjoy Your Symptom (1992), this essay utilizes a number of post-Soviet Russian films to explicate Lipovetsky’s philosophy, while also using Lipovetsky’s ideas to explicate the films.

  • A Sensory Ethnographic Study of Therapeutic Landscape Experiences of People Living with Dementia in the Wider Community
    Out and About: A Sensory Ethnographic Study of Therapeutic Landscape Experiences of People Living with Dementia in the Wider Community By Rahena Qaailah Bibi Mossabir (MA) Faculty of Health and Medicine Lancaster University Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) September 2018 0 0 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is all my original work and I am the sole author. This work has not previously been published or presented for an award. All sources are acknowledged as References. It has been jointly funded by the Economics and Social Research Council and Age UK Lancaster. 1 ABSTRACT Whilst ageing in place is considered important for a healthier and a better quality of life for older people, there is yet a dearth of evidence on how older people with dementia negotiate and experience the wider community. The aim of the present study is therefore to explore experiences of social and spatial engagement in the wider community for people living with dementia in order to advance understandings of how their interactions in and with community settings impact on their health and wellbeing. Drawing on the theoretical framework of therapeutic landscapes and a sensory ethnographic methodology, I provide social, embodied and symbolic accounts of people’s everyday experiences and pursuits of health and wellbeing within their neighbourhood and beyond. An in-depth examination of socio-spatial interactions of nine people with dementia, seven of whom participated with family carers, is conducted by use of innovative interview methods (including photo-elicitation and walking interviews), participant observations and participant ‘diaries’ (kept for a period of four weeks).

  • Place, Identity and Community Conflict in Mixed-Use Neighbourhoods: the Case of Kings Cross, Sydney
    Place, identity and community conflict in mixed-use neighbourhoods: The case of Kings Cross, Sydney Ryan van den Nouwelant A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Built Environment in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2017 THE UNIVERSITYOF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: van den Nouwelant Firstname: Ryan Other name/s: Mark Abbreviation fordegree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: not applicable Faculty: Built Environment Title: Place, identity and community conflict in mixed-use neighbourhoods: the case of Kings Cross, Sydney Abstract This thesis examines the role of urban planning processes in managing community conflict. Mitigating community conflict is one of the central arguments for robust planning systems,so shortcomings need to be identified and understood. Usingthe case study of Kings Cross, Sydney, the research demonstrates how the planning concept of 'the mixed-use neighbourhood', and in particular its inherent contradictions, permeate into the construction of the identity of this particularneighbourhood. Through media analysis and a series of stakeholder interviews, these contradictions are shown to prevail beyond planning discourses, and that they are central to community conflicts in the case study. By framing community conflict as the contestation of the neighbourhood's identity, it is revealed that these conflicts do not always lie between social and economic objectives of planning policy (and so residents and businesses) as is assumed by many stakeholders. Instead, it is argued to lie between the underlying spatial dimensions to the constructed identity: whether the 'self-contained neighbourhood' or the 'well connected neighbourhood'.

  • David Corkill and José Carlos Almeida
    David Corkill and José Carlos Almeida COMMEMORATION AND PROPAGANDA IN SALAZAR’S PORTUGAL: THE PORTUGUESE WORLD EXHIBITION OF 1940 The double centenary celebrated at the Exposição do Mundo Português (Portuguese World Exhibition) held in Lisbon between June and December 1940 was the first major cultural event of the Estado Novo (New State) dictatorship and marked the high-point of its ‘nationalist-imperialist’ propaganda. Staged to commemorate the foundation of the nation in 1140 and independence from Spain in1640, the Exhibition became a vehicle for the diffusion and legitimization of the dictatorship’s ideology and values in which the idea of the nation was (re)constructed through a series of carefully-planned images, myths and symbols (1). This article examines how the dictatorship of António Oliveira Salazar utilized the Exhibition to project its specific representation of historiography and national identity and to further its broader political aims, including the validation and legitimization of its rule. It will argue that, despite its reputation for minimal mobilization and for eschewing populism, festivities were a core ingredient in the Estado Novo ’s cultural policy. While Salazar disliked, even feared, the emotional, mass events associated with Hitler and Mussolini’s propaganda machines, he did value them for their legitimizing, educative and propagandistic functions. In this, the regime was quite prepared to borrow selectively from the showcase events staged by the ‘classic’ fascisms and blend them with an exhibition formula sculptured from a decade of staging exhibitions and participating in World Fairs (2). It is argued that the Salazar dictatorship preferred to involve the population in essentially passive state-sponsored spectacles in preference to mobilizing them through a mass party, public rallies, or similar mechanisms.

  • Hypermodernism
    9 Hypermodernism If postmodernism’s objective was to announce the end of modernity, then, according to Gilles Lipovetsky. it is now redundant. Modernity, for Lipovetsky, did not come to an end. Rather, it is undergoing its consummation, and the name Lipovetsky suggests for this new phase of the modern is ’hypermodernity’. Postmodernism was characterized by an essentially liberal impulse - a concerted effort towards deregulation in the aesthetic, philosophical, ethical, and political spheres. But, invigorating though these developments may have been, they have been outstripped by the accompanying trend towards the liberalization and deregulation of the market. The unfettered logic of market forces has put paid to postmodernism’s enthusiastic ambitions, and has even crept into the institutions of state, church, and family that withstood many of the onslaughts of postmodernism. The result, says Lipovetsky, is an endemic and unbridled consumerism, giving rise to a cult of excess - hence his choice of the prefix ‘hyper-’ to designate a culture that is ever demanding more and more. This view is in broad agreement with the position of Jeffrey T. Nealon in Part One, who regards post-postmodernism as deriving from an economic intensification o f the power of the market and o f consumerism. This consumerism does not always manifest itself simply as a naked consumerism, but rather as an extreme form of individualism. The hypermodern individual lives a life characterized by flexibility, adaptability, and a demand for continuous improvement, both in the workplace and throughout his or her general life. But Lipovetsky is quick to point out a paradox here: the drive towards flexibility and improvement is something that is demanded of the hypermodern individual, as well as something that the hypermodern individual demands as a consumer.

  • Hypermodernism As Deceleration, Re-Stabilisation and Reconciliation
    Marcin TrepczyńskiArtykuły naukowe Artykuły naukowe Edukacja Filozoficzna 66/2018 ISSN 0860-3839 DOI: 10.14394/edufil.2018.0021 ORCID: 0000-0003-0612-2597 Hypermodernism as Deceleration, Re-stabilisation and Reconciliation Marcin Trepczyński (University of Warsaw, Institute of Philosophy) Introduction1 In view of the claims of some thinkers that we can speak about “the end of the postmodern”2 or that postmodernity “is over”,3 it is reasonable to ask about the dominant indicators of today’s times and to ask whether it is accurate to describe them using concepts and labels developed to define the last decades of the 20th century. Such reflection is an element of a broader consideration of the human situation. It is important from the point of view of such questions as: how do we live and think, where do we go, who are we. From this perspective, reflection on the situation of individuals and societies has great philosophical significance. In this article I will try to address the main diagnoses and concepts concern- ing our times provided by thinkers referring to notions such as “postmodernism”, “the postmodern”, “after modernity” or “liquid modernity”. I will show that, at least today, they are insufficient and inadequate. I will also try to point to present attitudes which should be taken into account in any description of our times and to offer a proper name for them. Finally, I will briefly sketch how it is combined with the philosophical questions mentioned above. 1 The key concepts of this article were presented in my talk at the conference Around Hypermod- ernism, held at the Faculty “Artes Liberales” of the University of Warsaw on June 14, 2018.
