I'm sorry but I just see this as nothing more than crazy. Postmodernism has nothing. NOTHING to do with the surge to the right. Civil rights and de-platforming is NOT postmodernism. Trump supporters know NOTHING about postmodernist academia.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/935406634490388480 …

Then the "wave" you're talking about decides to call themselves postmodern but isn't ACTUALLY classical postmodern.
-
No, its an evolution of it. They may or may not call themselves postmodern. Its those key ideas abt knowledge, language, identity, structures of power etc that remain consistent.
-
Then I guess I'm not in disagreement as to what is defined as being post modern and rather just thinking postmodernism isn't inherently a bad thing then.
-
You don't think so? We'd have to lose objective knowledge and individual agency to a considerable extent? See language as the constructing force & interpretations as valid as intentions?

No. Second wave is feminism prior to intersectional post-modernism. One way to describe the distinction between the two is equality of opportunity vs. equality of outcome. The latter gives a moral justification for use of force to feed envy, resentment and jealousy.
-
Yes, but here I was referring to the second wave of postmodernists. 1st wave - Foucault, Derrida, Lyotard 2nd wave - Butler, Crenshaw, Said
