Description: "A Poiret dress, a Catholic shrine in France, Thomas Walliss Hoover Factory building, an Edna Manley sculpture, the poetry of Bei Dao, the internal combustion engine--what makes such artifacts modernist? Disciplining modernism explores the different ways disciplines conceive modernism and modernity, undisciplining modernist studies in the process"--Provided by publisher.
