Futurism - A Very Short...

Ara H. Merjian

Modern technology radically transformed urban life by the first decade of the twentieth century. As one of Western Europe's least industrialized countries, Italy appeared impervious to such developments. It was this state of affairs at which the Futurist movement took aim. With its founding in 1909, the poet and impresario F. T. Marinetti called for a revitalization of aesthetic expression by means of "movement and aggression." A growing cadre of Futurist painters, poets, authors, and musicians exchanged Italy's cultural patrimony for new technologies, media, and metaphors, championing machine-propelled speed and its salutary hazards.The movement's challenge to twentieth-century culture lay not in any specific set of images or objects, but a more comprehensive revolution of sensibility. By the mid-1910s there circulated several dozen Futurist proclamations on everything from men's clothing to set design, photography to film, dance to politics. That political impetus proved relentlessly paradoxical in origin and upshot. From its base in Milan, Futurist activity spread throughout the entire peninsula. Prefiguring and then propagandizing Fascist imperialism, Futurism also galvanized a range of progressive modernist phenomena. More than a century later, the "activist model" of the Futurist avant-garde remains deeply fraught in its historical implications.

Han Dynasty - Silk Roads Science...

Rolf Hedger

The Han Dynasty, lasting from 206 BCE to 220 CE, is one of the most significant periods in Chinese history, shaping the culture, politics, and identity of China for centuries. It followed the brief but influential Qin Dynasty, which had laid the foundations for imperial rule but also faced internal strife and rebellion. The Han emerged as the new power, restoring stability and expanding China's borders, making significant contributions to science, technology, trade, and philosophy.
The dynasty's rise was primarily due to the leadership of Liu Bang, a former peasant who became Emperor Gaozu. He defeated his rival, Xiang Yu, and took control of the vast Qin Empire, establishing the Han Dynasty. Gaozu's leadership marked the beginning of a new era, one that would see the consolidation of power and the implementation of reforms that would shape the future of the empire.
The Han Dynasty’s political structure was deeply influenced by the collapse of the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu restored the decentralized feudal system of governance, but with modifications to ensure more central control. Over time, the emperors of the Han Dynasty would strengthen the centralized bureaucracy, establishing a model that would endure for centuries in imperial China. One of the key developments was the introduction of Confucianism as the state philosophy. Confucian ideals, emphasizing hierarchy, duty, and moral governance, became deeply embedded in the political and social structure of the Han Empire. Confucian scholars played an essential role in the administration, and the dynasty itself was viewed as a time when the state was governed by virtuous and learned rulers.
