Chapter Two Questions
1. On page 31, the book describes the characteristics that define 'modernity'. Modernity is the progression of ideas and evolution of civilization/society in every facet. Yet, Postmodernists believe modernism is dead. How can we accurately proclaim modernism to be dead, when life is forever evolving in ideas and culture and the values we place on certain industries?
2. On page 44, Marxist criticism asserts the idea that artworks are not independent autonomous. Rather they are highly influenced by social norms, values, and culture. Do we subconsciously interpret artworks because of what is happening in the world today? Or do we interpret art because of fads and the shifts in urban trends?
3. After reading the "Queer Theory,"I would like to know if art really should be politically motivated, or if political motivation should come from organizations rather then artists? Is it an artist's duty to paint the perceptions of the world's communities?
