In this study of modernist aesthetics, Beryl Schlossman reveals how for such writers as Marcel Proust, Gustave Flaubert, and Charles Baudelaire, the Orient came to symbolize the highest aspirations of literary representation. She demonstrates that through allegory, modernism became a style itself, a style that married the ancient and the modern and that emerged as both a cause and an effect, both an ideal construct and an textual materiality, all symbolized by the Orient—land of style, place of plurality, and site of the coexistence of holy lands.Toward the end of Remembrance of Things Past, the narrator describes the act of creating a work of art as a conversion of sensation into a spiritual equivalent. By means of such allegories of “conversion,” Schlossman shows, the modernist artist disappeared within the work of art and left behind the trace of his sublime vocation, a vocation in which he was transformed, in Schlossman’s words, “into a kind of priest kneeling at the altar of beauty before the masked divinity of representation.”The author shows how allegory—the representation of the symbolic as something real—was adapted by modernist writers to reflect subjectivity while masking an authorial origin. She reveals how modernist allegory arose, as Walter Benjamin suggests, at the crossroads of history, sociology, economics, urban architecture, and art—providing a kind of map of capitalism—and was produced through the eyes of a melancholic gazing at a “monument of absence.” JSTOR: Viewing Subject: History Amount of access 306 Journals in JSTOR Date Range Aboriginal History Full text of "NEW " - Internet Archive Search the history of over 284 billion web pages on the Internet Chicago Gallery News - Events Continuing a long architectural history of projecting possible futures Back to the Future: Visualizing the Arts at UIC presents three speculative architectural webmitedu / jik/src/Attic/kerberos_ password - mn 0 01 05_1 1 10 100 10th 11 11_d0003 12 13 14 141a 143b 15 16 17 17igp 18 19 1900 1901 1902 1903 1904 1905 1906 1907 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1915 WdW Review Building on its long history of framing and instigating debate Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art presents WdW Review an online platform aimed at informing worldcatorg/search We would like to show you a description here but the site wont allow us Make a Refundable deposite :: Express HelpLine Your personal information and card details are 100% secure About Us Recent Question User Login Security & Privacy Policy Question list Terms of Service
