Brendan Graham Dempsey | After Postmodernism | 2. The End of an Era @BrendanGrahamDempsey | Uploaded May 2019 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
First I assess three influential readings of Postmodernism—those of Jean-François Lyotard, David Harvey, and Fredric Jameson—for a fuller understanding of the paradigm that has passed. From there, I look at the important critiques that were emerging in the 90s and 00s. This includes David Foster Wallace's famous essay "E Unibus Pluram" as well as Linda Hutcheon's conclusion to The Politics of Postmodernism to find a new label for post-Postmodernism. Three proposals—remodernism, performatism, and metamodernism—will occupy us going forward.
