Question

It’s not Suprematism, but a book about this movement argues that artworks like Malevich’s White on White are legitimized via a Kantian “sublime sentiment.” A section titled for this movement “and the city” (-5[1])analyzes the “total space” aspirations (-5[1])of John Portman’s Westin Bonaventure Hotel. This movement titles a book that theorizes a “waning of affect” by comparing Warhol’s Diamond Dust Shoes and Van Gogh’s Peasant Shoes. The “Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism” (10[1])subtitles a (10[1])Fredric Jameson book (10[1])about this movement, which (10[1])Jean-François Lyotard defined as an “incredulity towards metanarratives.” For 10 points, what intellectual movement often characterized as rejecting objectivity is named for following a cultural (10[1])movement of the 20th century? ■END■ (10[4])

ANSWER: postmodernism [accept Postmodernism, or The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism; accept The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge or La condition postmoderne: rapport sur le savoir; reject “modernism”]
