ABSTRACT

The question as to what comes after post-modernity presumes that one is dealing with a temporal category that has a clearly demarcated before and after. However, if, like Michel Foucault (1984), we understand that postmodernity, as well as modernity, have more to do with attitudes than a period in history, the matter takes a different turn. The question then becomes one of what attitudes these categories represent, and in what sense there is something after them.
