If we take Postmodernism to be what we have been studing, that is to say the lack of narratives, lack of a center, and a realization that knowledge is infinite and by that token we will never know everything, then we might be entering a post post modern age.
Post-post modernism by that token would either result in people retreating into various fantastical stories, their own center in a way, as the writer of the passage argues, and something I have noticed in my own experience. To some including myself depending on the work will decry books, tv shows, and other media as lacking in redeeming social value. however true to postmodern ideas it is all relative. As for all the facts being sent out it iswhat has always been going on, but we have reached a time where we have more than most if not all of the generations previous.

Nice blog Ted!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog. It was simple, yet to the point. I think that it was quite genius to include to whole center concept into your blog, and the fact that you were able to point that out was amazing. I feel that if anyone were to have any doubts on post-postmodernism, here would be the place of clarification.
I too believe that "book, tv, shows, and other media [are] lacking in redeeming social value". I tried saying that in my own blog, but I didn't really seem to state that specifically. I gave examples of what I meant, but did not really define what I meant exactly. However, when I reached your blog, I was able to grasp that sort of "ah-ha" moment when I suddenly realized that what I was trying to say all along was detectably stated in your blog.
Keep up the hard work Ted!
