post-modern isnt a particular aesthetic or culture, its just a description of the period of time we're now in. if you're writing about it, just write about the world around you, because that is the post-modern world. you don't have to do it as hamfisted as ferraro does (although i guess you could say that this whole forced aesthetic is part of his point about culture etc.), just note interesting things about the way society is in the post-modern age - dont just think it has to be about the internet/baudillardian waffle etc.

but writing about nature isn't post-modern

>>9309745
Only pseuds use the term "post-modern", drop that dogturd for a start

>>9309909
do the words hurt you m'friend?

>>9309914
They hurt you if you want to be taken seriously. "Post-modern" as a term has no real descriptive or analytic value and thinking in terms of it is a detriment to any good understanding of the world today

>>9309920
whatever you write, it will get categorized anyways.
i donmt particularily like the term myself (not op btw), but why get hung up on it?

>>9309929
Because perpetuating a term that is not useful promotes it further currency.
Its especially annoying because its obnoxiously unspecific and leads to sentences that are borderline incomprehensible without knowing what if any definition of the term the author had in mind.
Which then leads to pseuds to project whatever their particular intellectual fetish onto it ending up at the usual ideological shitflinging that comes about with most discussions of contemporary culture

>>9309950
isn't that the cause with any word?

What are some books that are like Ferraro and Spencer's lofi stuff?

>>9309954
No obviously not, some words have very clear and defined propositional content and others do not from one extreme to another.

>>9309979
i was just messing with you.
so, then the right thing to do would be clearly define post-modern. you first

>>9309984
I would define it as the discursive landscape following the collapse of the modernist project. That is the project to unite the disparate accounts of reality from the pre-modern world into a single metropolitan perspective.
