What is the difference between modernity and postmodernity?

>>9294116
Mostly, modernity was a project towards creating a metropolitan account of reality.
Post-modernity is what became when people lost faith in such an account being possible

By account you mean...perception?

In a way, more so a narrative.
Like when two people come together and explain how they view the world and its problems.
Modernity was an attempt where writers and intellectuals attempted to abstract from the particular traditions and backgrounds through reconciling their contradictions and fallacies towards a more alienated and rational understanding of the world.

Pomo began to distrust 'big narratives' and other structural axioms. narrators became unreliable. meaning shifted from author to reader. etc.

Pomo didn't do anything, its a description of the times not an ideology

pedantic cryboy alert

If you can't stand the risk of being pedantic when trying to define post-modern for someone I don't know why you're in this thread.
Its important a retard doesn't leave thinking there's some people called Post-Modernists whose aim was to destroy modernity rather than it just being a result of a failure of Modernity itself
