The kidnapping of postmodernism

People complain about postmodernism, saying it gave us all the troubles we have today. I don’t believe so. These terrible water with us from the beginning. Or, at least, from the start of modernism.

After the death of Derrida postmodernism lost its voice. It was open to criticism. It was bullied into trauma. The anxiety of postmodernism is what we have. Given that it allowed itself to be open to criticism, it was betrayed. Like a cheating modernist husband it hide the fact of its duplicity from its trusting postmodernist wife. She is in shock. She is trying to recover from it. She will expose them once again for what they are — deceivers.

She has escaped from her kidnappers. She will tell her story.

  1. I was thinking of similar criticisms, that postmodernism is the source of destabilisation of culture and progress, and responsible for the mental chaos people nowadays have, where in fact postmodernism simply describes the postmodern phenomena… Surely one can go into the details of the interplay between the knowledge of social theory and social actions, but honestly I don’t see the point of blaming it for everything.
