TY - JOUR TI - Beyond “the West/the Rest”: Modernism as Context AU - Dan, Ningjie T2 - American Journal of Advanced Integrated Science AB - The question whether there is modernism outside of the West has been on debate for a long time. To answer this question, this essay argues that it is necessary to introduce a new perspective which is beyond what Stuart Hall called “the West/ the Rest” dichotomy. Based on recent research on modernism, this essay takes modernism as context where the aesthetic innovative practice occurs to respond to radical social change of modernity. Taking modernism in China as an example, this essay attempts to show modernism as dynamic and constructive power rather than the collection of static innovative forms.
