postmodern
adjective more postmodern · most postmodern · pomo · po-mo · post-modern
- Relating to what follows the modern era. The nearer is a fact to the temporary limits of knowledge, the more implicated becomes this regression and the more blurred ought to be statement of fact. [Percy W.] Bridgman of Harvard recently has emphasized this conclusion, but his postmodern position has as yet made small impression.
- Of, relating to, or having the characteristics of postmodernism, especially as represented in art, architecture, literature, science, or philosophy that reacts against an earlier modernism. What I am objecting to is that aspect of postmodern thought that rejects the idea of any objective reality.
noun postmoderns · pomo · po-mo · post-modern
- A postmodernist. Trajal Harrell frames his program notes for “Twenty Looks or Paris Is Burning at the Judson Church (S)” with the potentially academic question, “What would have happened in 1963 if someone from the ball scene in Harlem had come downtown to perform alongside the early postmoderns at Judson Church?”
