How Did Science Technology Politics And Psychology Influence Art In The Late 1800s

Anthropology = cultural approach - Sociology = pscyhological approach?

Anthropology does take a historical approach, but sociology definately does not take a psychological approach. Sociology is never about the individual, which is all that psychology does. Both anthropology and sociology do focus on culture heavily.

How did the Industrial Revolution affect literature?

Hi all,This is a great question!  The Industrial Revolution was, essentially, the shift of most of humanity from an agrarian society, to an urban and industrialized one. This was made possible by many technological develops. This 'revolution' was the beginning of man's significant dominion over nature, and it affected all aspects of human society, including literature. As is always true of new ideas, people opposed the industrial revolution. Many were appalled at the conditions that factory workers endured, the low wages workers earned, and the use of children as near-slaves. Many books were penned by these protesters.The Industrial Revolution also led to the end of the luxurious lifestyles oft pictured in the context of pre-revolution life. The rich courts of kings and queens began to fade as the people took power in their countries. The influx of fineries from colonies ceased as they too gained their independence. People began to focus more on work and the practical side of the life rather than the 'liberal arts'. In fact, the distinction between 'practical skills and 'liberal arts' occurred as a result of the Industrial Revolution, as people shifted away from learning history, philosophizing, and the study of oneself, towards a society of work, toil, and reward. The drawing away from the liberal arts meant less people were reading books that are considered literature; the classics. More books were of the scientific kind. Thus, the Industrial Revolution created many feelings of distrust and disgust at the new conditions of life. The people who felt these feelings often published books and pamphlets denouncing the revolution. The Industrial Revolution also lead to the shifting away of society from the studies of the liberal arts as the majority of one education to the application of oneself to work and toil. The shift from the liberal arts  meant less people were reading the classics. I hope this helped!~Michael Foster

What are some characteristics of modernity?

Since the term "Modern" is used to describe a wide range of periods, any definition of modernity must account for the context in question. Modern can mean all of post-medieval European history, in the context of dividing history into three large epochs: Antiquity, Medieval, and Modern. Likewise, it is often used to describe the Euro-American culture that arises out of the Enlightenment and continues in some way into the present. The term "Modern" is also applied to the period beginning somewhere between 1870 and 1910, through the present, and even more specifically to the 1910-1960 period.

One common use of the term, "Early Modern" is to describe the condition of Western History either since the mid-1400's, or roughly the European discovery of moveable type and the printing press, or the early 1600's, the period associated with the rise of the Enlightenment project. These periods can be characterized by:

Rise of the nation state
Growth of tolerance as a political and social belief
Industrialization
Rise of mercantilism and capitalism
Emergence of socialist countries
Discovery and colonization of the Non-Western world
Rise of representative democracy
Increasing role of science and technology
Urbanization
Mass literacy
Proliferation of mass media
The Cartesian and Kantian distrust of tradition for autonomous reason

In addition, the 19th century can be said to add the following facets to modernity:

Emergence of social science and anthropology
Romanticism and Early Existentialism
Naturalist approaches to art and description
Evolutionary thinking in geology, biology, politics, and social sciences
Beginnings of modern psychology
Growing disenfranchisement of religion
Emancipation

How did the Renaissance affect and benefit European society?

It led to an increased interest in classical (Greek and Roman) culture, which influenced literature, art, and architecture. Many classical subjects were popular with Renaissance artists, though Biblical subjects continued to be popular too. The invention of then printing press led to books being more widely available, which encouraged an increase in literacy.

Politically, the period saw an increase in the power of individual monarchs and rulers. Henry VIII of England, for example, was a more powerful monarch than any of his predecessors. In Italy, the various princes and dukes who ruled the many states into which Italy was divided were very powerful. Machiavelli's book The Prince gave advice on how to be a successful and powerful ruler.

The concept of 'one man, one vote' did not arise from the Renaissance (as an answer above claims). The idea that everyone should have a vote did not arise until the 19th century, long after the Renaissance. The Renaissance was not an egalitarian era.
