MODERNI1Y*
Jean Baudrillard
Modernity is neither a sociological concept, nor a political concept,
nor exactly a historical concept.
It is a characteristic mode of civilization,
which opposes itself to tradition, that is to say, to all other anterior or
traditional cultures: confronting the geographic and symbolic diversity of
the latter, modernity imposes itself throughout the world as a homogeneous
unity, irradiating from the Occident.
Nevertheless, it remains a confused
notion, which connotes in a global manner any historical evolution and
change of mentality.
Inextricably myth and reality, modernity specifies itself in all domains:
modern State, modern technique, modern music and painting - as a SOrt of
general category and cultural imperative.
