"Radical modernism"

Bernstein's "radical modernism"
 
"can be characterized by the discovery of the entity status of language--not just verbal language but signification systems/processes; thus the working hypothesis about the autonomy of the medium, of the compositional space; the flattening of the Euclidian space of representing and its implicit metaphysics of displacement and reification of objects" (200)
