Tracing the Origins of Modernism

ĪQĀN

Nations that dominate the face of the earth at a time implement their system and ideology throughout the globe. The contemporary age is the age of the West and it has implemented its system and ideology through Modernism and its manifestations. Unfortunately, they have reaped more harm to the world than benefits. Resultantly it is humanity at stake and the World that is slowly dying. According to the western approach the modernization theory is concerned, development is simply a matter of knowledge and technology transfer that is unproblematic and straightforward, context-free, and not disruptive of existing social and cultural arrangements in developing countries. But indeed, Modernism is not just a political theory, but a way of life strengthened by the very beliefs which are ingrained in the world through a process of slow poisoning. In this research article, we trace back the origins of Modernism, its evolution, and how it has changed over the course of history. Without underst...

Modernity and Social Transformation BIRENDER SINGH

As used in classical sociological theory, the concept of modernity has its roots in the attempt to come to grips with the meaning and significance of the social changes occurring in Europe in the latter half of the nineteenth century, namely, the effects of industrialization, urbanization, and political democracy on essentially rural and autocratic societies. The term "modernity" was coined to capture these changes in progress by contrasting the "modern" with the "traditional." The theme, if not the concept, of modernity pervades sociology and the work of its founding fathers, Marx, Weber, and Durkheim. In their work modernity was meant to be more than a heuristic concept. It carried connotations of a new experience of the world. Modernity referred to a world constructed anew through the active and conscious intervention of actors and the new sense of self that such active intervention and responsibility entailed. In modern society the world is experienced as a human construction, an experience that gives rise both to an exhilarating sense of freedom and possibility and to a basic anxiety about the openness of the future. This is how modernity was understood in classical sociology. One theme that stands out in this account of social change and its effect on human experience is the development of a new sense of self, of subjectivity and individuality. This idea distinguishes the modern individual from the traditional one. The sociological account of this difference is based on changes in the understanding of the relationship between man and the supernatural, changes in property relations, and the demographic changes that accompanied industrialization. In this chapter I focus on the latter changes. Industrialization involved more than the development of a new means of producing the necessities of life; it involved the centralization and coordination of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods. It drew masses of laboring individuals from rural communities and farm labor to centralized urban workplaces. This uprooting of relatively

As a matter of fact, overall organization and world progression are significantly related to each other. Still a work in progression, overall organization impacts development.

Modernisation: An Anthropological Theoretical Approach

The Modernisation Theory can be viewed as a theory that encompasses many different disciplines as it illustrates a descriptive and explanatory framework of the processes of transformations a traditional or undeveloped society experiences as it moves to a modern state through the processes of economic increases and growth, and social, political and cultural changes. This simply means that it attempts to highlight how society progresses, which factors affect this progress, and how the society may possibly react to such a transformation. Here, the underlying principle of the theory is the understanding that modernisation is a complete social transformation and development connected mainly with economic development, where these social transformations constitute a pattern of universality, however the stress among the relationship of modernisation and development deviates from whether modernisation “is the social process of which development is the economic component” (Bernstein, 1971) or whether development, modernization and industrialization are viewed as “terms of decreasing conceptual generality” (Bernstein, 1971). The Discussion to follow will further critically discuss the Modernisation Theory, give insight to some of the theory’s major proponents; give a brief discussion on a few branches of modernisation; illustrate some influential ethnographic examples of modernisation; as well as give a description of the theory’s criticisms and values.

Transition from Modernity to Post-modernity

International Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies, 2017

The era of enlightenment is known as “mother of modernity”. It has promoted human rationality, scientific development, and human supremacy and paves the way for the decline of religious understanding of the society. The rise of human rationality, materialization of industry, invention of printing press and rising trend of democratic principle, emerging market economy and technological development are characterised as modernity. The idea of modernity is first stage of human era where human beings were treated as supreme authority of their spheres. With modernity, the concept of nation/state emerged which has the credit to organise the world, promote the rights of the individuals and pay its emphasis on the construction of the democratic society, participatory politics and free individuals. But modernity is criticised by scholars like Perry Anderson, who argue that modernity has actually created another layer and made society absolute. It has inserted empirical documentation and reje...
