Postmodernisme

>what is google

postmodernism is not for /lit/ to define, degenerate

Google says it's an architectural movement. What I want to know is the deformed, memed-the-shit-out, specific definition by /lit/

terminally retarded. please kill yourself.

You reek of insecurity and instant coffee.

This discursion may serve to enwinden your sails.

It tastes bad. But its idea is not inherently unpretty. Do you drink instant coffee?

>>8695435
It's disgusting. I have a box full of instant coffee sticks that I can't get rid of because I have never been able to drink an entire cup.

All artforms have modern/postmodern movement.

Modernism is the "establishing" of the general theory behind a new thing.
Postmodernism is a response/critique/examination to the established theory.
Metamodernism is using the techniques of postmodernism to create something new again.

In literature, the modernists established classic literature as we see it today. Melville and Woolf and Proust and the like.
Then postmodernists took what we already know about literature, what we "think" literature "should be", and used that pretext as a canvas by subverting modern techniques, fourth-wall breaks, poking fun at clichés, and of course new-sincerity. Stuff like Wallace, Murakami, Vonnegut, Pynchon. this genre was a fucking mistake.
metamodernism takes those contemporary postmodern technique to hearken back to modernism and create something new. Bolaño, Joyce(retroactively), Calvino, Borges.

With any other artistic medium the modern/pomo/metamo dynamics are easier to understand. Literature is kind of a mess.

Film for example;
modern: Spielberg
pomo: Scorsese
metamo: Tarantino

A highly cynical and Ironic zeitgeist that came after modernism. A reaction to the naivety of modernism.

for the sake of variety, where would you argue Julian Barnes fits into the timeline? Flaubert's Parrot and Sense of an Ending seemed postmodern to me...

>>8695396
The literary movement significantly predates the architectural and I think any other subject area's postmodernism. Even if you don't count Don Quixote as postmodern, like there are some from the 19th Century.

>>8695387
postmodernism is kino
