Modernism: is a cultural , artistic, and intcuall


movement appeared within the late of 19thc.
It focuses mainly on the rejection to all traditions in
form, style, technique, and narration. One of the main
characteristic in this era is to depend on the fragmented
text to render how people see instead of what they see,
and this due to the fact that modernist focuses on
psychological theories to expose the inner self instead of
outside. The innovation in form and style in addition to
subjective, perspective in modernism let the writers
focus on expression, sensation, thoughts, and action at
the same time, in this case the modernist shifted their
attention from been realist to working as psychiatrist.
There are many factors that lead to the raise of this era
starting from second world war, social upheaval, and
ending up with the cultural change. All of these factors
lead to a new change in: philosophy , art, music, art
culture, and literature.
