Metamodernism

>Metamodernism is an emerging movement that hopes to synthesize both postmodernist, modernist and premodern (romantic, enlightenment) ideas while moving our civilization and culture forward in a positive way. Metamodernism is the fight against the cultural effects that postmodern thought has had on our social interactions, artistic endeavours and thought processes. This includes dissolving the alienation from society that many of us suffer from on a daily basis as a result of these postmodern values. Yes, it is true that many foundational institutions in our society still operate on modernist standards or using modernist methods (mostly financial or economic institutions that are yet to be affected by the creeping nihilism we intend to combat) but the cultural postmodernism and nihilism that is eating our minds alive shows no signs slowing down.

Why do people think you can make up cultural movements by writing manifestos

Are they stupid

If the modern thus expresses itself by way of a
utopic syntaxis, and the postmodern expresses
itself by means of a dystopic parataxis, the
metamodern, it appears, exposes itself through
a-topic metaxis. The GreekEnglish lexicon translates
atopos (atopow), respectively, as strange,
extraordinary, and paradoxical. However, most
theorists and critics have insisted on its literal
meaning: a place (topos) that is no (a) place. We
could say thus that atopos is, impossibly, at once a
place and not a place, a territory without boundaries,
a position without parameters. We have
already described metaxis as being simultaneously
here, there, and nowhere. In addition, taxis
(ta?jiw) means ordering. Thus, if the modern
suggests a temporal ordering, and the postmodern
implies a spatial disordering, then the metamodern
should be understood as a spacetime that is
both*neither ordered and disordered. Metamodernism
displaces the parameters of the present
with those of a future presence that is futureless;
and it displaces the boundaries of our place with
those of a surreal place that is placeless. For
indeed, that is the ‘‘destiny’’ of the metamodern
wo/man: to pursue a horizon that is forever
receding.

Didn't Shia LeBouf just make this whole thing up because he got caught plagiarizing from books and movies?

The term Metamodernist appeared as early as 1975, where Mas'ud Zavarzadeh used it to describe a cluster of aesthetics or attitudes which had been emerging in American literature since the mid-1950s.[1]

They're just splitting hairs
The post modern mindset will exist until we see a radical reversal back to traditional thinking
And I mean radical as in women losing the right to vote

He turned to it for forgiveness but do so in a way that rationalises away his guilt

you claim your so smart just curious what the size of your head is?

Mine is 25 inches and according to this calculator http://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/geometry-solids/sphere.php that means I have a 263inch volume of brain size.

I'm asking you to measure around your head with a tape measure and tell me the length so I can calculate it.

If your not up to do that then I think that says everything we need to know.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. People kept discovering all sorts of stuff he stole from other writers and filmmakers, and instead of just apologizing and admitting it he tried to invent a mass philosophical movement that would justify his actions.
