The open and the global: Postmodernism and its legacy

2018
Publication's URL:
If Jean-Francois Lyotard was right that postmodernism did not refer to a time after modernism, but rather to what was inherent in modernism from its beginning, then the only way to find out what follows upon postmodernism may be to ask what went on in it in the first place. In The Postmodern Condition Lyotard claimed that postmodernism was characterized by “incredulity toward metanarratives”, which was putting it mildly considering the work that Jacques Derrida had been carrying out since the 60s. Not only did the center as a conceptual and narrative reference point not hold anymore, if it ever had, Derrida fueled postmodernism with a radical incredulity toward any discourse based on clear-cut delimitations.
