Terms of the Day for November 3

• Postmodern Art - a movement in Western art, spanning from the late 1970s until the present, which rejects the key ideas of modernism. 
• Pluralism - a Postmodern movement in art that assumes the cultural context of art should be all-encompassing in its respect for the art of the world's wide variety of cultures and artistic styles, and that diverse cultural and stylistic influences can coexist in a work of art.
• Appropriation - an artistic concept in which an artist uses an image already in existence and places it in a new context in order to give it new meanings.
• Conceptual Art - art in which the concept(s) or idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns.
• Double-consciousness – a term coined by W. E. B. Du Bois used to describe an individual whose identity is divided into several facets. Du Bois saw double consciousness as a useful theoretical model for understanding the psycho-social divisions existing within African American society.
• Jezebel Archetype – a term with roots in the biblical character Jezebel often used to describe the stereotypical primitive, sexually promiscuous and sometimes controlling black woman.
