Seminar One - Post Postmodernism


Post Postmodernism? Translit? Pseudo-modernism? Post-millennialism? Performatism? Metamodernism? If Postmodernism is dead, what has followed? Have we moved on, or are we still looking to the past? Is there room for postmodernism in a post 9/11 world?

These are all questions we will be asking and discussing when we met for our first seminar in the series. We will look at what has come after postmodernism, and what terminology we can use to accurately reflect that changes that have occurred since the start of the 21st century.

Our first reading, suggested by Dr Maria Beville, looks at all those questions, and is sure to help inform our discussion.

From After Postmodernism : An Introduction to Critical Realism, by Garry Potter and Jose Lopez, the introduction After Postmodernism: The Millennium p3 -17. The book is available on Google books with a full preview of the introduction.
