High modernism (also known as "high modernity") is a form of modernity, characterized by an unfaltering confidence in science and technology as means to reorder the social and natural world.〔James C. Scott, ''Seeing Like a State: How Certain Scemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed'' (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1999), p. 4.〕 The high modernist movement was particularly prevalent during the Cold War, especially in the late-1950s and 1960s. ==High modernity defined== High modernity is distinguished by the following characteristics:〔Scott, pp. 4-5; Peter J. Taylor, ''Modernities: A Geohistorical Interpretation'' (Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota Press, 1999), pp. 18, 32.〕 *Strong confidence in the potential for scientific and technological progress, including a reliance on the expertise of scientists, engineers, bureaucrats and other intellectuals. *Attempts to master nature (including human nature) to meet human needs. *An emphasis on rendering complex environments or concepts (such as old cities or social dynamics) legible, most often through spatial ordering (for example, city planning on a grid). *Disregard for historical, geographical and social context in development. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High modernism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
