MetaModernism

Metamodernism has announced itself with a ....BANG!!

We can call it post-postmodernism, or post-Americanism.
Whatever you call it it introduces us to a cultural shift.

Harold Jarche wrote:

To an older culture, a newer one often looks amoral, as morality guides older cultures. To a newer culture, older cultures appear to be primitive, lacking complexity. But each culture has its pros and cons. The challenge in developing what Lene Rachel Andersen calls ‘metamodernity‘ is in taking the positive aspects of previous human cultures in order to create a global culture that can deal with the complexity of technology, climate emergency, and evolving political situations.

Metamodernism refers to a broad range of developments in culture and society that appear after and gesture beyond postmodernism, and at the same time attempts to characterize post-postmodernism. One definition characterizes metamodernism as an oscillation between aspects of both modernism and postmodernism; others see it as an integration of these as well as premodern (indigenous and traditional) cultural codes.

We can call it the China Century...though China will be a lard but not a monopolizing part of it.

Russia is the harbinger as Russia is the bridge between west and east, representing this shift.

METAMODERNIST // MANIFESTO

1.We recognise oscillation to be the natural order of the world.

2.We must liberate ourselves from the inertia resulting from a century of modernist ideological naivety and the cynical insincerity of its antonymous bastard child.

3.Movement shall henceforth be enabled by way of an oscillation between positions, with diametrically opposed ideas operating like the pulsating polarities of a colossal electric machine, propelling the world into action.

4.We acknowledge the limitations inherent to all movement and experience, and the futility of any attempt to transcend the boundaries set forth therein. The essential incompleteness of a system should necessitate an adherence, not in order to achieve a given end or be slaves to its course, but rather perchance to glimpse by proxy some hidden exteriority. Existence is enriched if we set about our task as if those limits might be exceeded, for such action unfolds the world.

5.All things are caught within the irrevocable slide towards a state of maximum entropic dissemblance. Artistic creation is contingent upon the origination or revelation of difference therein. Affect at its zenith is the unmediated experience of difference in itself. It must be art’s role to explore the promise of its own paradoxical ambition by coaxing excess towards presence.

6.The present is a symptom of the twin birth of immediacy and obsolescence. Today, we are nostalgists as much as we are futurists. The new technology enables the simultaneous experience and enactment of events from a multiplicity of positions. Far from signalling its demise, these emergent networks facilitate the democratisation of history, illuminating the forking paths along which its grand narratives may navigate the here and now.

7.Just as science strives for poetic elegance, artists might assume a quest for truth. All information is grounds for knowledge, whether empirical or aphoristic, no matter its truth-value. We should embrace the scientific-poetic synthesis and informed naivety of a magical realism. Error breeds sense.

8.We propose a pragmatic romanticism unhindered by ideological anchorage. Thus, metamodernism shall be defined as the mercurial condition between and beyond irony and sincerity, naivety and knowingness, relativism and truth, optimism and doubt, in pursuit of a plurality of disparate and elusive horizons. We must go forth and oscillate!

1. All is Flux. All is interactivity; 2. Empires built on lies must fall; 3. Order/Chaos, where even in order there are conflicts, disharmonies, patterns of order that cannot be synthesized and must remain separate, distinct, different; 4. Absent Absolutes. Certainty, completeness, wholeness is not the goal because these concepts negate existence which is void of wholes, of completion, of absoluteness; 5. Existence is a state of constant interactivity – agon, war – conflict, attraction/repulsion; there can never be peace, a static state of inertia for this is a description and a definition of non-existence; 6. Past is made present as presence, and the present is in flux – changing. The determined appears as determining what is to come; 7. Mind/Body must coexist and participate in what is willed. Both lucid consciousness and impulsive unconsciousness participate in becoming. The body is not the enemy, the evil that must be transcended, but the primal, the organic, the human that must be controlled. The feminine must not be hated nor feared but dominated; 8. All is uncertain. Omniscience/Omnipotence are impossible.
