For more than a decade now, there has been a steadily growing chorus of voices announcing that the postmodern literature, art, thought, and culture of the late 20th century have come to an end. At the same time, and no doubt relatedly, the early years of the 21st century have simultaneously seen a prolific stream of critical formulations proclaiming a successor to postmodernism. Thus, in the years from 1999 to 2010, such neologisms as Remodernism, Performatism, Hypermodernism, Automodernism, Renewalism, Altermodernism, Digimodernism, and Metamodernism have been coined, proposed and debated as terms designating that which comes after the postmodern.
Supplanting the Postmodern is the first anthology to collect the key writings in these debates in one place. The anthology is divided into two parts- the first, The Sense of an Ending, presents an array of positions in the debate around the demise of the postmodern; the second, Coming to Terms with the New, presents representative writings from the new -isms mentioned above. Each of the entries is prefaced by a brief introduction by the editors, in which they outline its central ideas, point out the similarities and/or differences from other positions found in the anthology, and suggest possible strengths and limitations to the insights presented in each piece.
