By insisting the Kammerspiele respond to contemporary issues, Mr. Lilienthal has been successful in attracting a younger audience, but the approach has appeared to alienate the theater's traditional base, who seem to want something less polemical — or at least more safe — from the stage.

And both are unmistakably polemical, suggesting that with this and other commissions — an earlier one, sculptures by the Kenyan-born artist Wangechi Mutu, is still in place on the museum's Fifth Avenue facade — certain winds of change could be blowing through the Met's art-temple precincts.

As he has done since day one in the Oval Office, Trump will continually blitz the nation with controversy, inanity, outrage and fierce polemical attacks so that in each minute of the day reporters, producers, editors, bloggers and tweeters can't resist offering some kind of response.
|
|
And if, at barely more than an hour, the movie initially seems slight, its inconsequentiality might be better viewed as polemical: "Fort Buchanan" takes place in a geopolitical alternative universe, where bucolic military outposts are the sites of huge love-ins, and the greatest danger comes from gardening spray.

Mr. Thorpe lets us see a bit of how Glen might come across as a rational, likable guy with whom we the audience (who are presumably of the same polemical stripe as Mr. Thorpe, this being Brooklyn and all) might have at least a few things in common.

|
Mr. Merz's article set off a long, polemical debate in which one side made accusations of racism and the other side answered with accusations of cultural relativism; by the end, the question hadn't been answered, but the fight was so vicious that the word was rendered unutterable in polite conversation.

Nonfiction THE DREAM UNIVERSE How Fundamental Physics Lost Its Way By David Lindley The title of David Lindley's new book, "The Dream Universe," may be unprepossessing, but his subtitle — "How Fundamental Physics Lost Its Way" — tells you what to expect: a polemical argument from a writer who won't be pulling his punches.

WASHINGTON — Milo Yiannopoulos, a polemical Breitbart editor and unapologetic defender of the alt-right, tested the limits of how far his provocations could go after the publication of a video in which he condones sexual relations with boys as young as 13 and laughs off the seriousness of pedophilia by Roman Catholic priests.

After a six-year hiatus, Michael Moore — the gleefully polemical documentarian from Flint, Michigan — is back on the silver screen with Where to Invade Next, a jovial European excursion that propels Moore into various countries with ingenious ideas for managing a variety of societal constructs, from prison and education systems to parenting.

Indeed, after visiting schools and coal mines filled with starving and illiterate children, Dickens had initially planned to write a polemical pamphlet, but changed his mind after deciding that a popular Christmas tale could be a "Sledge hammer" that would "come down with twenty times the force—twenty thousand times the force" of an essay.

While formally structured as a profile of Rhodes, his unusual career path, and his thoughts on the intersection of postmodern literary theory and the politics of foreign policy, the article in fact advances a polemical argument — that the American public was duped into accepting a nuclear deal with Iran by Rhodes's manipulation of the press.

I've noticed though, in interviews with comedians, they tend to downplay that aspect of it – they'll say, "I was just trying to be funny" or "we just wanted to make people laugh," without acknowledging -Well, yeah, because they don't want to seem like they're on a soapbox, they don't want to seem polemical or whatever.

I remember, as an MFA student at UC Irvine, listening to Daniel J. Martinez on one of his magnificently polemical diatribes, asking a group of seminar students why it was that, despite sustained critique by several generations of artists, the system for production of art seemed to nevertheless be increasingly shaped by a neoliberal worldview.

Eschewing her more polemical feminism for leotard-like body suits instead of her usual playsuits, Ms. Chiuri layered on Isadora Duncan dresses of draped jersey, macramé'd tulle tea frocks, combined it all with faded denim and folkloric work wear, and then brought on the unforced romance of tie-dyed over-embroidered florals and minutely layered feather appliqués.

In a new exhibition of appropriated protest signs colorfully reimagined as eight polemical light boxes—More Than ½ the World at Sadie Coles HQ gallery in London—the artist isolates the language of protest as a way to expand its punch, while simultaneously highlighting that there are a range of issues on which the public and art can speak truth to power.

Although a certain kind of politics can be discerned in his early work, his explicit politics were secondary to his acts of making: the fountain that he made for the Spanish Republican pavilion at the World's Fair in 1937 stood in front of Picasso's "Guernica," but no one could have detected in its beautiful patternings of mercury and water a polemical point.

Mr. Bell, who moved to the West Coast after his talk show was canceled and now hosts a documentary series on CNN "United Shades of America," deserves credit for recruiting these comedians as well as making a political talk show distinct from "The Daily Show" and "Late Night With Seth Meyers": Less wonky, more polemical and eager to engage in debate.

Now that Greenberg, who died in 21962, is safely confined to the precincts of art history (although he too, along with his critical and personal enemy, Harold Rosenberg, is being looked at afresh), and painting is no longer automatically disparaged, these artists can be evaluated on their own terms and not through the polemical lens of old art world arguments.

While Gellert's submission is not on view (a wall text describes it as "depict[ing] philanthropists and politicians consorting with gangsters"), the works included here — lithographs for a book called 'Capital' in Pictures (533), a visual companion to Das Kapital by Karl Marx, and silkscreened broadsheets illustrating Century of the Common Man (1943), a wartime speech by FDR's vice-president, Henry A. Wallace — retain their polemical power.

As a consequence, as Charlotte Allen put it in a polemical but perceptive column recently, to the extent that modern life has given us a Gileadan hierarchy of wealthy older women who have younger "handmaids" bearing children for them and domestic "Marthas" working as the help, it exists in the enlightened precincts of upper-class liberalism — as a support structure for lean-in feminism, not a form of patriarchal control.

That vocabulary keeps Ammons from too quickly laundering observed detail into symbol, as in a polemical poem about stubbornly nonsymbolic dice: My dice are crystal inlaid with gold and possess spatial symmetry about their centers and mechanical symmetry and are of uniform density and all surfaces have equal coefficients of friction for my dice are not loaded The dice issue the "hard directive" of a new, almost anti-poetical register of description, their essence the sum of their inherent qualities and not their instrumental outcomes.
