More specifically what do you think are the most important insights of
post-modernism?
Doyle;
Critique of reading. More or less rendering reading as fuzzy and open
to various interpretations. See Derrida, his early book
'grammatology' set the tone long before the 'post' era came into
being. I still see a lot of people in the art world (visual art,
painting, etc.) who refer to Post Modernist thinking. They have a
definite sense modernism ended about 1980. And the arts have been the
same since then. In other words still 'Post' the long modern period.
Carrol Cox writes,
And no one has the slightest fucking idea of what "postmodernism" is or
who 'believes' in it, or if it is something one believes in or like the
rain something that falls on one.
Doyle;
It was during it's heyday influential in Academic English
environments, philosophy, and high culture arts. It died roughly
2000. It died because of it's famously difficult process A lot of
work but not very interesting to read. It was influential in that it
rubbed everyone the wrong way, right and left. It failed not so much
because of 'reason' but because it went nowhere.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
