Dada:
A western European artistic and literary movement (1916-23) that
sought the discovery of authentic reality through the abolition of
traditional cultural and aesthetic forms by a technique of comic
derision in which irrationality, chance, and intuition were the guiding
principles. Fututrism: An artistic movement originating in Italy about 1910 and
marked by an attenpt to depict vividly the energetic and dynamic quality
of contemporary life esp. by the motion and force of modern machinery. Deconstructionism is a challenge to the attempt to establish any ultimate or secure
meaning to a text. Basing itself
in language analysis, it
seeks to “deconstruct” the idealogical biases and traditional
assumptions that infect all histories, as well as philosophical and
religious “truths.” |
