What came after postmodernism?
gpt
Some social theorist argue we've never actually left modernism--I find Giddens arguments for radicalized modernity (rather than postmodernism) to be particularly compelling. What was true for early modernity is true now (time-space distanciation, enhanced reflexivity, increased ontological insecurity) just...more so. There wasn't really been a break with the past in a significant way as there was with pre-modernity and modernity.
