Did you speak about how the 2nd world war & the shoah has influenced postmodernists ambivalence towards modernity?

I don't, no. I talk a lot about their attitude to modernity but only mention WW2 in passing.

It seems interesting that many of the famous postmodern intellectuals (Foucault) came of age during WW2.

That had to influence their attitude to modernity & enlightenment. Certainly influenced Adorno in his work>

Dialectic of Enlightenment. Though Adorno himself didn't outright reject enligtenment universalism.

I think so much contributed to a zeitgeist that was receptive to it - post-war, post-Empire - negativity about world powers.
