Choi Hyun-hee: Stolen Names
Modernism is usually thought to be a wording song, which seeks to find a direct expression of modern senses and traditional aesthetics. The trend was established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and is usually marked by modern Western origins. But the newness in the history of literature and art has always been in the process of resisting and remaining faithful to the present and heading toward the future. In that sense, there is no reason to view modernism as a relief spread from Western origins to other parts of the world. So, is it not the very idea of defining modern Western civilization as the essence of modernism? The stolen name glee begins like this, criticizing Western-centralism, which is involved in the nature of modernism. In the days of modernism, Korea was a colony. Colony was a place where the empire led a state of power, destabilized by the modern world order. The modernism that developed in the colonies seems to be the last thing that will ever end with the flowering modernism of the empire's Metro. But modernism is a spirit of being separate from the past and wanting to be faithful to the present, and it is acknowledging that anything that is true to the moment can be globally consistent. So, in this sense, the Western modern world is a beginning and a colonial one is a second, and that's exactly what Modernism is about. Rather, is it not true that colonialism, which is a way of being faithful to the present, is not a reality of fate that cannot reach Western modern modernism? Is it not true that the act of being present, though endowed with a destiny that has been held in the past forever, is truly modern?
