“Metamodernism is a sensibility motivated primarily by a need to safeguard the individual’s interior, subjectivebfelt experience against the potential degradations of postmodern ironic relativism and modernist reductionism; and, also from the ontological inertia of pre-modern tradition. It is expressed through and is an influence upon cultural artifacts found in areas such as the visual arts, television, film, music, literature, design and even philosophy, religion, and politics. As an episteme, metamodernism is periodized historically, beginning around or a little before 2000, and also can be conceived of independent of chronology.” Metamodernism Book:Say Hello to Metamodernism!: Understanding Today's Culture of Ironesty, Felt Experience, and Empathic Reflexivity Source: Say Hello to Metamodernism!: Understanding Today's Culture of Ironesty, Felt Experience, and Empathic Reflexivity
