Some modernisms are explicitly antimodern, protesting the very modernization they parallel

Evidence

It should also be obvious that it is the fact of the relationship itself that counts and not its content. The various modernisms have just as often constituted violent reactions against modernization as they have replicated its values and tendencies by their own formal insistence on novelty, innovation, the transformation of older forms, therapeutic iconoclasm and the processing of new (aesthetic) wonder-working technologies. If, for example, modernization has something to do with industrial progress, rationalization, reorganization of production and administration along more efficient lines, electricity, the assembly line, parliamentary democracy, and cheap newspapers — then we will have to conclude that at least one strand of artistic modernism is antimodern and comes into being in violent or muffled protest against modernization, now grasped as technological progress in the largest sense. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 664

• QUESTION: If the relationship itself counts rather than its content, this bears on whether ‘cultural dominant’ conditions are falsifiable — is affirmation vs. rejection of modernization still an index of the same underlying economic arrangement?
