“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism's high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.” Has BeensMomentsMightLastsPastValuesSocialPrinciplesEconomicStrangeFunctionDefinitionsReplacedIdeologicalModernismPreoccupationBatteriesPostmodernismMillenniumHybridAcknowledgmentSuspensionPostmodernCusp Author:Gilbert Adair
