Post modernity and post-truth as threats to humanity's progressFernando Alcoforado
This article aims to address the postmodernity that emerged after the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989), the collapse of the Soviet Union (1991) and the crisis of ideologies in western societies in the late twentieth century in order to deconstruct Modernity and the Enlightenment that arose in the eighteenth century, as well as the post-truth that arose in the contemporary era for the purpose of reversing the meaning of things and making the lie true. Today's world is characterized by the threat to the critical rationality advocated by the Enlightenment and Modernity with the advent of postmodernity and post-truth that represent a setback for the progress of humanity. It is a huge challenge for humanity to defeat the ominous political and ideological influence of postmodernity and post-truth.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Postmodernism
Postmodernism - A literal definition is After
Modernism.
Postmodernism – noun
a late 20th-century style and concept in the arts,
architecture, and criticism that represents a
departure from modernism and has at its heart a
general distrust of grand theories and ideologies as
well as a problematical relationship with any notion of
“art.”
From – The Apple Dictionary!
A useful starting point.
7. Postmodernism
•
The Compact Oxford English Dictionary refers to
postmodernism as "a style and concept in the arts
characterized by distrust of theories and ideologies
and by the drawing of attention to conventions.”
Useful definition – part at the end about drawing
attention to conventions was not in the first definition
but is useful.
8. Postmodernism
•
•
Postmodernism was originally a reaction to
modernism. Largely influenced by the Western
European disillusionment induced by World War II,
postmodernism tends to refer to a cultural,
intellectual, or artistic state lacking a clear central
hierarchy or organising principle and embodying
extreme complexity, contradiction, ambiguity,
diversity, and interconnectedness or
interreferentiality.
From Wikipedia.
10. Postmodernism
•
Postmodernism as a reaction to twentieth-century aesthetic
modernism emerged soon after WW2. It still carried most of
the features of twentieth-century aesthetic modernism. So,
some have argued that it is essentially just an outgrowth of
modernism, and not a separate movement. But, there is a
fundamental difference. It is that while aesthetic modernism
had presented fragmentation, for example, as something
tragic to be lamented (as in Eliots' "The Waste Land"),
postmodernism no longer laments it but rather celebrates it.
Thus, postmodernism is inclined to stay with
meaninglessness, playing with nonsense. Dino Felluga sees
this difference and lists some of the things "that distinguish
postmodern aesthetic work from modernist work" as follows:
From www.newworldencyclopedia.org
11. Postmodernism
•
1.
Extreme self-reflexivity, more playful
and even irrelevant (as in pop artist Roy
Lichtenstein's "Masterpiece" or architect
Frank Gehry's Nationale-Nederlanden
Building in Prague)
•
2.
Irony and parody (many examples in
pop culture and media advertising. eg The
Simpsons).
•
3.
A breakdown between high and low
cultural forms in more immediately
understandable ways (as in Andy Warhol's
painting for Campbell's Tomato Soup cans).
12. Postmodernism
4. Retro. It is to use styles and fashions from the
past with fascination but completely out of their
original context (as in postmodern architecture
in which medieval, baroque, and modern
elements are often juxtaposed). Fredric
Jameson and Jean Baudrillard tend to regard it
as a symptom of our loss of connection to histor
y in which the history of aesthetic styles and
fashions displaces real history.
5.
A further questioning of grand narratives
(as in Madonna videos such as "Like a Prayer"
and "Material Girl," which question the grand
narratives of traditional Christianity, capitalism,
etc.).
13. Postmodernism
6.
Visuality and the simulacrum vs. temporality. The predominance of visual
media (tv, film, media advertising, the computer) has lead to the use of visual forms
(as in Art Spiegelman's graphic novel Maus: A Surviver's Tale through the medium of
comics). Visuality also explains some other related features of aesthetic
postmodernism: a more breakdown between high and low cultural forms, and a retro.
Baudrillard and others have argued that a retro involves copies ("simulacra") of the
past without any connection to real past history, blurring the distinction between
representation and temporal reality.
14. Post modernism
•
7.
Late capitalism whose dominance
is generally feared (as in the predominance
of paranoia narratives in movies such as
"Blade Runner" and "the Matrix"). This fear
is aided by advancements in technology,
especially surveillance technology, which
creates the sense that we are always being
watched.
•
8.
Disorientation (as in MTV or those
films that seek to disorient the viewer
completely through the revelation of a truth
that changes everything that came before).
•
9.
Return of orality (based on an influx of
oral media sources such as tv, film, and radio).
