What is Post-postmodernism?
'''Post-postmodernism''' is a general term used to describe new developments emerging from [[postmodernism]]. A similar term is metamodernism. These terms are not always accepted: for example, they are not in the Tate Guide to modern art terms.<ref>Wilson S. & Lack J. 2008. ''The Tate guide to modern art terms''. London: Tate Publishing. ISBN 978-1-85437-750-0</ref> ==History== [[Modernism]] began around 1900. It was a rejection of tradition and an attempt to see the world differently. Events such as [[World War II|World War 2]] and the [[Great Depression]] made many feel [[modernism]] had failed. This led to postmodernism, which is cold and skeptical of the grand narrative of Western Society. This grand narrative is explained by Jean-François Lyotard as something.<ref>Lyotard, Jean-François. 1984. ''The postmodern condition: a report on knowledge''. Minneapolis: U of Minnesota Press.</ref> Postmodernism is a very broad term that cannot be defined by specific themes. It is an all-encompassing way of thinking. Postmodernism is seen as a theory for explaining 20th Century culture. With the 20th Century now behind us and a new century beginning, many have suggested that Postmodernism is outdated in our current world. Advances such as the internet have changed the way we live, making the world a smaller place but also making communication and interaction with things around us less intimate. Post-Postmodernism takes this as a key reason why a return to sincerity and authentic expression is the way forward for the 21st Century. ==Definitions== Post-postmodernism is a very new idea that is still forming. There are many different ideas about how post-postmodernism could evolve and shape culture. They look to where [[faith]], [[trust]], [[dialogue]], [[performance]], and [[wikt:sincerity|sincerity]] can work to overcome postmodern [[irony]]. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Art movements]] [[Category:Philosophical movements and positions]]
