What does lit think of postmodernism?

Extremely interesting and copiously stimulating. My favorite genre thus far.

It's a joke that never ends.

I'm finally starting to "get" it, and that is a good feeling. I think its good... Not much better or worse than anything else...

It's a hole we must either eternally fall into or ignore.

I am one of the anons who used to shit on pomo every chance he got

I finally started reading them and while they're still kind of kooky and not all that practical, guys like Derrida, Foucault, and Deleuze/Guattari are extremely fascinating thinkers

it must be so cool living life just deciding what people meant without having read them

time for bed junior

it was a mistake and the result of WW2. modernism is poised to make a comeback though.

k. I'm sure dorritos is just a misunderstood genius and not at all a psueodointellectual pedant.

It's fascinating, tedious, intellectually stimulating, stupidly pseudo-philosophical, earth-shattering and entirely redundant

engage with it or don't engage, it literally does not fucking matter because either position is still a perfectly valid approach in post-modernism

>I don't get someone, I refuse to read them, and I have presuppositions about them. Trust me when I talk about them though. :)
>>
>>7429400
Postmodernism is based on a simple premise. The rest is just bullshit piled on top of bullshit written to fill faculty seats at universities.
>>
>>7429396
Are you trying to tell us that you're a retard and an emotional reactionary?

You'll really feel like you belong there. :)
>>
>>7429408
No. Nice reading comprehension.

>>7429412
Unfortunately your feelings don't correspond to reality. This is a hard lesson you'll have to learn after you stop poisoning your mind with postmodernist philosophy like dorritos.

It's shit. Modernism was the only true age of literature. Remodernism is the way to go.
>>
>>7431223
unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Can't go back now, thats why new sincerity and metamodernism are such jokes. The only way out is forward
>>
>>7431263
How can you say that when Modernism never got to finish its styles because WWII started? What we need is a new spirituality in art. Art needs to be art again.
>>
>>7431282
Isn't the disheartening consequences perpetuated by the Second World War a characteristic of modernism?
>>
>>7431534
"Modern" literature goes from 1890 to about 1930/40, anon.

>>7431539
I mixed it up with the First World War. But how did the oncoming of the Second World War bring an end to the movements?
>>
>>7431568
There was a lot of radicalization and censorship going on in Europe in the 30s. It was not a great environment for experimental or critical literature.
>>
It's the only thing that makes sense.

The industrial revolution was a false flag operation, and there is no post-modernism.

Is the cultural appropriation of low brow nigspeak also low brow postmodernism? Or can it transcend that status? Idk 2bh family.
