"Names and catch phrases change; the schema remains the same. Since Swift's "Full and True Account of the Battle Between the Ancient and the Modern Books" (1710), this controversy has lost some of its originality and brilliance. […] The avant-garde has become its opposite: anachronism." --The Aporias of the Avant-Garde (1962) by Enzensberger
