| | Decadence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Decadence, symbolist, and the fin de siècle: a notebook | | | In literature, Decadence was the name given, first by hostile critics, and then triumphantly adopted by some writers themselves, to a number of late nineteenth century fin de siècle writers who were associated with Symbolism or the Aesthetic movement and who relished artifice over the earlier Romantics' naive view of nature (see Rousseau). | | | Richard Gilman, Decadence: The Strange Life of an Epithet. |

| | For her part, the Decadent woman is a black widow, vampire or succubus that sucks the soul of the Decadent male: the archetypal example is the sadistic Englishwoman Clara, in Octave Mirbeau’s Les jardins des supplices (The Torture-Garden, 1911). | | | English Decadence was not nearly as defined a phenomenon as that across the Channel, mainly due to the absence of a coherent group of authors who accepted and fought for the title “Decadent”. | | | Alternatively, the Decadent woman becomes the neurotic, losing her self-control while remaining deadly to men, realising her neuroses in lesbianism, nymphomania, and sadomasochistic perversion. |

| | ipedia.com: Aestheticism Article |
| | The English decadent writers were deeply influenced by Walter Pater and his essays published in 1867-1868, in which he stated that life had to be lived intensely, following an ideal of beauty. | | | Decadent writers used the slogan, coined by the philosopher Victor Cousin and promoted by Théophile Gautier; in France, "Art for Art's Sake" (L'art pour l'art) and asserted that there was no connection between art and morality. | | | The Aesthetic movement is a loosely defined movement in art and literature in later nineteenth century Britain. |

| | English decadent and Symbolist artist Aubrey Beardsley made a lasting contribution to the art of illustration; a satirist with a gift for caricature and grotesquerie, Beardsley attacked Victorian sexual values. | | | Symbolism, while echoing Decadence both in style and in its association of art with the realm of the mind and the imagination, minimized the seemingly perverse and immoral characteristics of the earlier movement. | | | Decadence also had an influence in Russia in the early twentieth century, rising within the Russian Symbolist Movement and being influenced primarily by French writing and the works of Poe. |

| | FROM "DECADENCE" TO "STYLE OF DECADENCE" : CALINESCE |
| | The obsession with decadence and the growing circulation of words related to that notion account for a semantic occurrence un paralleled in the first half of the nineteenth century, namely, the formation, from the adjective, of the corresponding homonymous noun: "decadent" (one that is a decadent). | | | Interestingly, Nisard's arguments—and especially his view that a "decadent style" of art places such emphasis on detail that the normal relationship of a work's parts to its whole is destroyed, the work disintegrating into a multitude of overwrought fragments—have been quite influential, even though the name of their originator has sunk into oblivion. | | | A style of decadence is simply a style favorable to the unrestricted manifestation of aesthetic individualism, a style that has done away with traditional authoritarian requirements such as unity, hierarchy, objectivity, etc. Decadence thus understood and modernity coincide in their rejection of the tyranny of tradition. |

| | NIETZSCHE ON "DECADENCE" AND "MODERNITY": CALINESCE |
| | Nietzsche's theory of decadence reveals its entire philosophic and aesthetic significance only when, together with his admiration for what Goethe symbolized, the details of his critique of Schopenhauer and Wagner are considered. | | | The terms decadence and decadent offered Nietzsche the opportunity to synthesize and unify a great many related ideas (decline, degeneration, sickness, etc.) that had become constitutive elements of his dialectic of life against death. | | | Even within the overwhelmingly decadent context of modernity, Nietzsche recognizes the possibility of a music "that would no longer be of romantic origin, like German music—but Dionysian."76 The first section of The Case of Wagner offers an example: Bizet's Carmen, conceived as an absolute counterpart of Wagnerian decadence. |

| | Sakaguchi Ango and the Morality of Decadence |
| | The end of the war saw Japanese literary and critical writing flourish as writers were essentially free to fill in the void left by the long suppression of writing and ideas that until the end of the war had been demonized as inimical to public morality. | | | According to Ango they are the exemplars of a new morality subsumed in decadence. | | | As they were led side by side into the courtroom we discovered a magnificent blueprint for humanity that was made possible by the end of the war; Japan had lost and Bushido had crumbled, but humanity had been born for the first time in the true womb of decadence. |

| | It is named after the first theme--a tribute to decadent southern ladies, such as Blanche DuBois from the Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire. | | | The festival is highly sexual in nature, with overt advertising insinuating (though rarely outright stating) that public sex will be common and liquor flowing heavily. | | | A History of Southern Decadence indicates that the festival started in 1972 as a costume party to honor the departure of one of a group of friends in New Orleans. |
