Talk:Development criticism

message: I must say that development criticism, as explained here, has almost nothing to do with Antimodernism, as aesthetical tendency in Europe between 1890s and 1930s (Klages, Schuler, Evola, Ortega y Gasset, George, Pound, Eliot, Lawrence, Guenon, Berdjajev, Benn, Juenger). So, I think that redirection from Antimodernism to this page has to be terminated. The best online history of the term "antimodernism" I found so far is located on http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~bump/E375L/Antimodernism.html

replies: text: I think that we need an article "development criticism" (like there is "kehityskritiikki" at fi.wikipedia.org). Antimodernism is mostly the same thing but the concept is seldom heard. Gandhi, Ivan Illich, Gustavo Esteva, Henry Thoreau etc. are among the most well known development critics --128.214.200.146 08:37, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have endeavoured to turn this page into a sort of non-canonical disambiguation page.  The anti-modernist kerfluffle in the Roman Catholic Church surely deserved some kind of mention here.  I have just been working on expanding the former stub at high modernism, which at least has references.  Perhaps this might be made into a more canonical disambiguation page by moving some of the see also's there, although I am somewhat at a loss to figure what Fascism or Unabomber have to do with anything discussed there.

text: I've now incorporated the lists from this stub into the Postdevelopment Theory article. Perhaps now we can just redirect from here to there? --User1756 (talk) 15:45, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

message: This is a bad title.  I have started a page called Criticisms of globalization.    "Development" is not NPOV as it is a vague term.  What one would consider developement another would not.  Development of what is the question.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:33, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A bad title maybe; badly written certainly. Perhaps it should be rewritten and merged with Postdevelopment Theory? --User1756 (talk) 19:13, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that what the exact definition of "development" might be is a part of what the subject concerns. Establishing a parallel with "criticism of globalization" doesn't make much sense in this context as that subject represents one particular face of what development criticism is.

replies: text: So, what exactly is development criticism? How does it differ from post-development or anti-globalisation? Where are the contested definitions? Some refs would help...--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 00:36, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bad title 

message: Somebody deleted Rahnema. He is a leading proponent of post-development. Have a look at the bibliography if you don't know the literature!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Minority2005 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This article is remarkably free of content.
Many critics, none of whom apparently has any idea worthy of documentation here.

thread_title:  The critics are silent 

message: This article has been stripped of earlier content leaving just a hodge-podge list.  I'd rather not loose the history as would happen if it is deleted.  I can't tell if this is an official delete request or not because the tag is unclear and there is no link to a delete discussion.  It could be merged to Criticisms of globalization if necessary.  Or, if there is no other way, rather than delete please move it to my personal user space.   Meclee (talk) 16:14, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: *Further comment. Agree with the preceding comment, but also feel there is merit in the earlier suggestion that the article be subsumed under Anti-modernism, which is how I too came to it.Jacobisq (talk) 10:06, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

text: *Further comment. I believe it should be merged with Postdevelopment_theory, as several authors are already there. The ones that are not can be added as a final note called "other development critics". Anaonmars (talk) 00:49, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge rather than delete

message: This article was already merged into postdevelopment theory by User1756 in 2010, but nobody finished the redirect. Since that time, other editors have repeatedly had similar discussions here about how inadequate this page is, but nobody has been bold enough to finish the redirect. This state of affairs is unfortunate, because this article has been a content fork of postdevelopment theory since 2010, but people have continued to waste time making minor tweaks to this page, apparently oblivious to the fact that it was already merged into postdevelopment theory. Therefore I am going to be bold and finally redirect this page to postdevelopment theory, which should have been done years ago.
However, the redirect creates the problem of what to do with anti-modernism, which redirects here but clearly should not be redirected to postdevelopment theory because the meaning of anti-modernism is much wider than postdevelopment theory, as was noted above in . For now, I will redirect anti-modernism to . I don't know if that is the best redirect for anti-modernism, but it's all I have at the moment.
If anyone is willing to comb through the last version of this article before the redirect and merge into postdevelopment theory any relevant information that was added to this article since the last merge into postdevelopment theory in 2010, it would be appreciated. However, I doubt that there is much remaining to merge given that this page is essentially a list rather than an article with substantial content. Biogeographist (talk) 03:18, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
