ABSTRACT

The question of ‘what comes after postmodernism’ is rather modern at its heart and draws on a linear conceptualisation of time that postmodernism has tried to challenge within different disciplinary contexts. Postmodernism has indeed created conditions of possibility for making trouble in our habitual modes of seeing, understanding and knowing, but it has also created its own archive of knowledges, authors and concepts, its own ‘order of things’. My question therefore is not about ‘what after’, but ‘what now’?
