Militant Modernism is a defence against Modernism's many detractors.
It looks at design, film and architecture - especially architecture
— and pursues the notion of an evolved modernism that simply refuses
to stop being necessary. Owen Hatherley gives us new ways to look at
what we thought was familiar — Bertolt Brecht, Le Corbusier, even
Vladimir Mayakovsky. Through Hatherley's eyes we see all of the
quotidian modernists of the 20th century - lesser lights, too —
perhaps understanding them for the first time. Whether we are looking
at Britain's brutalist aesthetics, Russian Constructivism, or the
Sexpol of Wilhelm Reich, the message is clear. There is no alternative
to Modernism.
