Description
Supplanting the Postmodern: An Anthology of Writings on the Arts and Culture of the Early 21st Century brings together key writings from the debates surrounding the demise of postmodernism. This collection presents a range of positions on the subject, including new terms such as 'remodernism', 'performativism', and 'metamodernism'. The book is divided into two parts: the first explores the sense of an ending for postmodernism, while the second examines the possibilities of what comes next. Each entry in the anthology is prefaced by a brief introduction from the editors, who outline its central ideas, highlight similarities and differences with other positions, and discuss potential strengths and limitations. This allows readers to engage with the debates and ideas in a nuanced and informed way. By collecting these key writings in one place, Supplanting the Postmodern provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the current state of artistic and cultural production.
