(Anna)stly: Post- modernism?
"You are so postmodernist," I overhear the intellectual guy sitting next to me say in a blasé tone as I am creeping on my friend's Facebook pictures. "What does that even mean?" I wonder. He probably doesn't even know what he is talking about and just wants to sound smart.
Another guy that likes to sound smart and obscure is Karl Lagerfeld. The Chanel clothing designer stated in a New York Times interview that "on the surface it can seem almost like nothing, but as the years go by you see the depth. That's what makes Karl an extraordinary postmodernist."
Yes, he is referring to himself in the third person. That is so postmodernist. It is an intellectual snobbery, some argue, especially when we don't know what it means.
Let's attempt to wrap our minds around this bizarre concept. Postmodernism in literal terms occurs after modernism. Modernism stems from the Latin term "modo" meaning ‘now' or ‘current.' So postmodernism is ‘after the just now.' There are many differences between the two to note. In a watered down version, modernism is a universal optimism, while postmodernism is a realism of limitations. Modernism is abstract, while postmodernism is concrete. In a postmodernist society, we question everything. The postmodernist is the ultimate skeptic, doubting explanations and preferring the truth.
