The new issue of The Modernist has just been published. This magazine would be worth getting for its high quality design alone, but the written contents are also of a similar quality. Each issue is themed around a particular broad subject of relevance to modernism, this issue’s being NUCLEAR.
Although the power of atomic, and subsequently nuclear, energy only came of age halfway through the twentieth century, its invention and ominous presence dominated the second half of that century—both geopolitically and ideologically. Initially embraced as the epitome of modernity, its unbridled destructive power meant it transformed from a useful servant into an aggressive master, and the early, almost cartoonish image of its capabilities gave way to a more apocalyptic vision.
Full details at the modernist.
That’s all for this week!
