The minute I hit "send" I knew I would regret it. I hoped I could get to bed before people started beating on me, but I forgot about Australia. I retire from the field of battle in confusion and dishonor: Ok. I didn't read it all carefully, and I didn't understand the half of it. I just liked the idea of getting beyond Irony. ===> Consensus on what makes up an epoch can hardly be achieved while that epoch is still in its early stages. However, a common positive theme of current attempts to define post-postmodernism is that faith, trust, dialogue, performance and sincerity can work to transcend postmodern irony. <==== In Academia, some people seem to regard irony as a creative act ... as I it could stop a flood, bridge a river, or feed a multitude. It can't do any of these things, but it certainly can stop a bunch of academics from getting anything done, I can vouch for that! But the rest of the stuff in that article was opaque to me.
