I'd love to put out a call to eliminate "post-" and "new" from our theoretical/whatever vocabulary - new aesthetics, post-digital come to mind - but these words, sometimes with "modernism" buried in there - appear over and over again and at least for me result in the commodification of thought, as well as a kind of linearity based on dichtomies such as new/old or post-X/X and so forth. Again, canons and genres raise their ugly heads; I'd argue for an anarchic approach to just about anything, but then there's be the "new anarchy" or "post-anarchic" or whatever...
