Week four’s essay finds inspiration from the anti-intellectual movement. The essay titled Anti-Intellectualism in American Life by Richard Hofstadter defines the anti-intellectual movement. The anti-intellectual movement began in the 1950’s “primarily as McCarthyism the belief that the mind was at ruinous discount” (Hofstadter 3).

In 1925, the original surrealists forged a clear and resounding document, stating, among other things, that the surrealist movement is a revolution, unarguably. They asserted that their movement was not one of poetic form. Furthermore, that it was not even a literary movement.

It was “a revolution of the mind.” Surrealist actions and thoughts function “in the absence of any aesthetic or moral concern.”

However, Ai’s approach through the statues tangibility allows for the viewer to more easily connect

It is an inherent tendency of human beings to shy away from boundaries enforced upon us, while we still desire to push beyond the limit. Boundaries are, after all, set by humans. Therefore, do we not have the upmost right and ability to stretch those borders until they collide and unite in complex harmony? Creativity, which includes art, requires a certain amount of these collisions to grow and move forward. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, Paolozzi, Klein, and Cage blur the boundaries between art and life

Internalization and Philosophical Introspection Contradictory to my previous rubric, the second rubric that I created is one which focuses on internalization, or more specifically, philosophical introspection. Introspection is another modernist literary quality that emerged after the start of World War I.
