Movement that emerged from and reacts to postmodernism / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metamodernism refers to a variety of related discourses that aim to describe cultural phenomena beyond the constraints of postmodernism. Both/and mediations between modernism and postmodernism are defining features of the topic; however, their applications can differ substantially. Some scholars view it predominately as a "cultural sensability" and way to understand specific qualities in contemporary artistic expression, while many others view metamodernism in relation to philosophy or their respective fields.[1][2]
Metamodernists believe that the optimism associated with modernism is still compatible with the frequently-dominant postmodern critiques of human limitations. It is one of a number of attempts to describe post-postmodernism.
