“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

MetaModernism: Post-Modernities Trans-Human-Cyborg Subject for a New Society of Control
...that would be post-modernism. The argument "for" metamodernism appears to be a "new synthesis" with modernism and post-modernism.... the goals of "modernism" but for a broader diversity of beneficiaries.
Our problem is that the capital's "disciplinary matrix" hasn't changed yet... and so no radically changed "future" is possible. We're trapped in a "cycle" of Enlightenment modernities. Toffler's "Power Shift" hasn't kicked in yet.
from Wiki's "History of Istanbul" Neolithic artifacts, uncovered by archeologists at the beginning of the 21st century, indicate that Istanbul's historic peninsula was settled as far back as the 6th millennium BCE.[1] That early settlement, important in the spread of the Neolithic Revolution from the Near East to Europe, lasted for almost a millennium before being inundated by rising water levels.[2][3][4] The first human settlement on the Asian side, the Fikirtepe mound, is from the Copper Age period, with artifacts dating from 5500 to 3500 BCE.[5] It's also worth noting that in the European side, near the point of the peninsula (Sarayburnu) there was a settlement during the early 1st millennium BCE. Modern authors have linked it to the possible Thracian toponym Lygos,[6] mentioned by Pliny the Elder as an earlier name for the site of Byzantium.

ReplyDelete..against the "identitarian" critique of modernism.

ReplyDeleteFuturists should shy away from "predicting" anything but self-fulfilling prophesies. ;)
