> > what comes after postmodernism? > Answers. didn't postmodernism discover that answers were unreachable? or is postpostmodernism to cluster information into rigid templates which contain a part of 'the whole' but never it all, so that answers can be given in a certain context which is approximated from reality? my question was related to music mostly though (otherwise i'd have posted this to a philosophy list). what comes after the postmodern, i.e. hybrid, derivative, self-reflecting music we are increasingly witnessing from autechre to the wildest mego prankster or the loudest japanese noise freak? where is postmodernism going? 'up its own butt' might be a plausible answer, but what then? what happens after now? should we build shelters yet? -- david
