Talk:Cultural movement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I assume something should be said on Cultural movement about the Enlightenment. However, I personally have no idea what.  :-)

Any takers? (27 September 2001)

  • See also periodization.
  • Consider moving or copying the style lists into respective genres, once the genre pages exist.
  • Article's generalizations seem to be compatible with high school world history texts.
  • Renaissance shouldn't be called the "golden age of theater and architecture".
  • It is "tricky" to pick date ranges for the various "renaissances" in different areas.

Actually, I think the most "tricky" part about this article is that there is very little info offered about cultural movements in non-Western cultures? Granted, I'm no expert on the subject (and will reluctantly admit to having not adequately studied in this area of sociology/anthropology) but I feel pretty certain similar movements of cultural change could be ID'd in other areas of the world at other time periods. The spread of Buddhism throughout India & SE Asia perhaps? The cultural effects of industrialization in Japan (or would that qualify as cultural imperialism?). Or how about the addition of horses to the lifestyles & societies of the indigenous peoples of the American Great Plains? (21 Ocotober 2001)

From the article:

Incidentalism Commensing 1995 and ongoing Idiosyntactix incident. Zen-like theorectical and practical applications of the unpreconceived. Incidentalism holds all art as both original and derivative. Artifact (or commodity) is the result of artistic practice. Art objects may be owned; however, all intellectual property is fraud.

So, you're saying that "Incidentalism" is a major cultural movement, comparable with the others listed here, rather than a small group of web pranksters? Please justify this with evidence from independent sources.

[edit] Proposal: remove Neen

I can't find any evidence that Neen is indeed a de-facto art movement. It appears to be a small group of artists who are willing to put their names behind the idea of one man -- Miltos Manetas. Judging by the amount of web content refering to Neen, since it's inception in 2000 the movement has not make a wide impact. Claims that this is the first time a movement have addressed the computer medium are exegerated (IMO). The concept is now well-covered by the Neen page (I re-wrote it recently). I suggest either removing Neen from this page entirely or, if there are objections to that, converting it to a one line link. --Oliver Crow 20:09, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Links !!!!

Does anyone think it is a good idea to add commercial links on this site? i don`t like it, because mostly everything is shaped by culture so what link is right?

New concept: create a Self-declared art movement page. --Oliver Crow 20:32, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

This should be merged with Social movement, I think. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:41, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

After half a year to think on this :p I'd rather move this article to cultural change. Comments?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 04:05, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
