Week 11 - Postmodernism

What is Postmodernism? Well, in order for one to truly understand postmodernism, they first need to grasp over the fact that postmodernism is 1 out of the 3 phrases in culture. Before Postmodernism, there was modernism and before that, there was pre-modernism.

In pre-modern times, society leaned heavily on divine and supernatural explanations for morality and truth. With the advent of modernism, this tradition was challenged, and faith in logic, reason, and science rose to prominence, seeking universal truths and grand narratives. This was very evident especially in design. Due to the dominance of logic and reasoning during modern times, it led to functionality being favoured and prioritised more, over design. That is why detailed craftsmanship on furniture was disregarded and furniture started to become much more minilistic and most importantly, functional

However, postmodernism emerged later, rejecting the notion of absolute truths and grand narratives that claim to provide an overarching explanation to human experiences. A perfect example of this is Andy Warhol’s film “Sleep” which depicted a man sleeping for six hours straight. Warhol declaring that the film was indeed art simply because it was created by an artist, was a way of critically responding back to the modernist movement and what was considered as art. This also suggests that postmodern art made use of irony to deconstruct established norms and conventions. Other than irony, it embraces the use of parodies, plurality and subjectivity. Overall, postmodernism emphasises heavily on relativism.

"El amor es un poema . . . En tal caso, requiere conocimiento y esfuerzo. ¿ O bien es el amor una sensación fascinante y sutil, cuya experiencia es cuestión de azar, algo con lo que uno se tropieza si tiene suerte ? Creo que hoy la mayoría de la gente cree únicamente en lo segundo".

Ensayo de una vida.

— Juan Francisco Palencia.

What up it’s me once again checking in at almost midnight how’s everyone doing??

I had an 8-hour work shift today, the last 3 hours of which were particularly stressful, so I was happy to be treated to some lovely Jeri Southern tunes on the way home, courtesy of Chicago’s jazz station. I’d never heard of her before, but her voice just eased all the tension out of my shoulders. Today is also John Linnell’s birthday! Can you believe the man is 60?? happy birth to accordion man :0

For this reason, I have not one but TWO minilists for y’all today. The first is comprised of the songs I heard on my drive home, and the second is a handful of Linnell songs I somehow haven’t gotten around to recommending yet (only a handful, because if I listed all my favourites we’d be here all night). Take your pick!

Jeri Southern minilist:

Who Can I Turn To

It’s De-Lovely

Too Marvelous for Words

You Forgot Your Gloves

Am I Blue?

It Never Entered My Mind

I Don’t Know Where to Turn

John Linnell minlist:

Maine (from State Songs)

South Carolina (from State Songs)

Nightgown of the Sullen Moon (from Miscellaneous T)

Sleep (from Nanobots)

Dog (from My Murdered Remains)

When Will You Die? (from Join Us)

Thankful for Your Service (from My Murdered Remains)

The Famous Polka (from Miscellaneous T and many a vivacious live show)

#jeri southern #john linnell #tmbg #I really want to make a full playlist of All my Linnell favs eventually. and there are obviously more popular songs I could've included here #but these ones stand out to me for various reasons #Obviously I had to include my favs from State Songs because OBVIOUSLY #'sleep' and 'nightgown' capture his brand of surrealism well #'dog' uses microtones which on the one hand is like. WHO uses microtones. on the other hand. why did it take them so long to use microtones #'when will you die' startled the whole band when he demoed it bc they were Not expecting such a vitriolic song from such a quiet bean #it just makes me laugh every time I think about it #'thankful for your service' is APPARENTLY about the 3rd amendment but i thought it was john apologizing for his social anxiety #i think it could go either way but what do i know #and then the famous polka. because. accordion(tm)#jun 2019 #songs I like in my earholes
