>>23349240>unbiasedlol
Literally just read postmodernists. They're not that hard.
>>23349240Derrida
>>23349240>unbiased>postmodernismPostmodernism considers "unbias" impossible, if they even consider the word to have any sense. This include any meta narrative or internal critique of biases, whether in general or your own or those of any specific other person.
>>23349423Suggest some
>>23349240>driving forceswell for this my friend you will always, regardless of which historical era, need our good friend Karl Marx.
>>23349440I thought post modernism was just another way of saying "I'm a cigarette blowing homo who thinks believing in anything is for retards *blows smoke* death, everything is death and oppression. We live and we die. *blows more smoke* eating pop tarts? Bourgeoisie. Pop tarts are made to subjugate our souls. *blows smoke again* society is fucking disgusting. Humans are disgusting. *lights another cigarette* I will never get a real job. *more smoke* suicide is the coolest thing ever. Nah, I'm not gonna kill myself. Would be cool as fucking shit if I did though. You wouldn't understand. Words are slave devices. *gets lung cancer* welfare check should be coming in soon. Children are disgusting. Freedom means destroying the entire world."Something like that

>>23349460>read all of Foucault and DerridaTime to get a job, you beret wearing clown
>>23349455This is what happened when Jews, Americans and the excess humanities student population from the constant expansion of university tried to ape postmodernists.
>>23349463>the jews did itIf I pull the string on your back enough times will your battery eventually run out
>>23349462yeah it seems fitting that "reading too much" is an insult to youlook everyones welcome im not going to tell you to go back but please lurk more, keep it on the low for a bit
>>23349468Notice how you only sperg out about one of the three categories listed above.
>>23349473No i meant that I read all of those and you insinuated my take was based on consumption of daily wire and jordan peterson instead of familiarity with the material because you're a fucking insufferable beret wearing snob shitgoblin>doesn't see the value in a philosophy of nihilism with a cheap technique applied to everything indiscriminately >he must have never read any of it!!!Time to get a job>>23349476It was to demonstrate contempt

You could call this thread postmodern as it doesn't actually answer the question and goes on a pointless tangent about random shit. Bravo /lit/, bravo.Anyways OP you could try ChatGPT that should give you answer at least.
>>23349240the "frontispiece" states that two thirds of the one hundred literary fairy tales that appeared in France between 1690 and 1715 were authored by womenthat's what I call "Lovecraftian horror taking part in reality"

>>23349240>unbiased understanding of the driving forces and sociocultural context of (post)modernismthe driving force is biasmodern and postmodern currents see everything from the perspective of politics: whomever is not my bitch is my enemy; this can be extrapolated in all kinds of ways, for example class war which is dogs barking "they are BAD! EVIL!" and come up with a whole list of arguments... in reality they just want to take their peace, food, and gadgets... and when they do, they quickly set up a brutal dictatorship (e.g. "socialism," "communism," "democracy" etc.) in order to make sure that if anybody comes up with the same idea -- and why wouldn't they? it must be the BEST idea in the world because THEY came up with it in the first place and NOW they have ALL the gadgets and food -- will be neutralized as soon as possiblethis is of course doomed to fail because 1. people on the top will never take responsibility 2. nobody is motivated to do sustainable things, as you can't force people to be motivated (unless they have an IQ under 100, in which case they will do more damage than good anyway)... perception management is VERY expensive so you'll at most steal technology from real countries where people do other stuff beside surviving (those FOOLS! WE'LL TAKE THEIR GADGETS TOO!)tl;dr read pic related (maybe get the 2018 edition? and try to find the assumptions the authors started from and --if any-- fractures in the logic of their rhetoric. that's yer homework for which the Emperor will reward you greatly :3
>>23349240we'll have time for that once the number of people desecrating the planet drops to a teeny-tiny percent of what it is now
>>23349240wow, I can't believe no one has said The Oxford Very Shot Introduction to Post-Modernism. the VSI series is often the best place to start on any theory, I love the one for Post-Structuralism (which also explains post-modernism by necessity). not every VSI is good but the majority are. you can find most of them online for download too. there are so many random ones that are fun to read for autistic amounts of knowledge on random topics. like the VSI to Egyptian mythology or even Egyptian Art, (both different books IIRC)
>>23357798>not every VSI is good but the majority arethe good ones are always written by the leaders of the field... but considering the extent of the series, who has time to classify them by the author's qualifications? the one about prehistory is also good
