“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.”

“Things are highly interdependent. The very concepts of “we” and “they” are becoming irrelevant. War is out of date because our neighbors are part of ourselves. We see this in economic, educational and environmental issues. Although we may have some ideological differences or other conflicts with our neighbor, economically and environmentally we share essentially the same country, and destroying our neighbor is destroying ourselves. It’s foolish.”

“Sai qual è il nostro problema, in quanto europei? Che vogliamo continuare a essere noi stessi senza smettere di essere il Tutto. Pretendiamo di globalizzare la nostra individualità. Ma il mondo ha sempre meno bisogno di individui, di razze, di nazioni, di lingue. Quello di cui ha bisogno è che tutti sappiamo l'inglese e, se possibile, che siamo moderatamente liberali. Che a Babele si parli inglese e avanti la Torre, dice il mondo.”

“But on the ground in modern day, the gap-toothed border wall on the U.S. side was in the advanced stages of decay. It was an unsightly, rusted monstrosity, thoughtlessly imposing itself through the cacti masses who, until a few decades ago, had been peacefully congregating for millions of years along what was now an arbitrary line begging to be taken seriously.”

“The well-worn track was as straight as Gadsden’s ruler when the nineteenth-century U.S. diplomat had negotiated yet another strong-armed acquisition of Mexican territory to give Arizona its geometrically pleasing southern boundary. Pleasing on paper, anyway.”
