ABSTRACT
Postmodernism isn’t dead. It has been captured, trained, and, quite frightfully, made useful in the hands of politicians, entertainers, and those cavorting at the intersection of politics and entertainment. In reference to ‘climate change,’ Latour warned that ‘dangerous extremists are using the very same argument of social construction to destroy hard won evidence that could save our lives’ (Latour, 2004, p. 227). But now, postmodernism is a breed of political talk employed constantly and copiously; even the most thoroughly evidenced and argued positions are batted aside as ‘fake news’ or ‘hoaxes’ produced by ‘failing’ and self-interested ‘losers.’
