Shah, Mohd Hazim. "Religion and Postmodernism." Journal of KATHA 18, no. 1 (December 31, 2022): 1–20. http://dx.doi.org/10.22452/katha.vol18no1.1.
Full textAbstract:
In this article, I discuss the implications of postmodernism on religious thought, with special reference to Islamic thought. Firstly, I discuss the nature and characteristics of postmodernist thinking, and the different schools of thought/’postmodernisms’ that fall under that rubric. My contention is that postmodernism is a response to modernism rather than religion, although it has implications on religious thought. Secondly, I examine and compare the points of contention between modernism and post-modernism. I then argue that the differences are largely due to the privileging of nature and reasoning of modernists and the privileging of human/social and psychology of postmodernists. These, in turn, have implications on their metaphysics and epistemology, respectively. Thirdly, I provide an Islamic perspective on the modernist-postmodernist discourse, showing that the Islamic perspective transcends the natural-social divide, and how the tripartite relationship between God, man and nature, informs the discourse. The philosophy of language is also brought up in the discussion, where I suggest that Islam accepts the dual role of languages, that is, conveying the meaning in its literal sense (aka modernist), as well as being a symbol and an indirect reference (aka postmodernist). Finally, a close comparison is made between postmodernism and Islam, where both their incompatibilities as well as possible points of convergence are discussed.

One of the most important elements of postmodernity is the growing awareness of the diversity and potential incommensurability of the various forms of cultural life that sustain groups and individuals and addresses the postmodernist denial that postmodernism is inherently apathetic or hostile to social or political action. Postmodernism is a reaction to the epistemological ideals of modernity. Postmodernism is based on a limited human point of view, and thus becomes a prisoner of its own subjectivity, resulting in two main characteristics, namely pluralism and relativism. This study analyzes the postmodern view that is implemented in Christian education in Indonesia. The method used in this article is a literature study by using philosophical biblical glasses to analyze postmodern views. The result is that postmodern moral education (such as transcendentalism and idealism) has some useful and some negative aspects that should be considered for planning moral education and curriculum development for Christian education in Indonesia.
Satu elemen paling penting dari postmodernitas adalah tumbuhnya kesadaran akan keragaman dan potensi ketidakterbandingan dari berbagai bentuk kehidupan budaya yang menopang kelompok dan individu dan membahas penolakan postmodernis bahwa postmodernisme secara inheren apatis atau bermusuhan dengan tindakan sosial atau politik. Postmodernisme merupakan reaksi terhadap cita-cita epistemologis modernitas. Postmodernisme didasarkan pada sudut pandang manusia yang terbatas, dan dengan demikian menjadi tawanan subyektivitasnya sendiri, menghasilkan dua karakteristik utama, yaitu pluralisme dan relativisme. Kajian ini menganalisis pandangan postmodern yang diimplementasikan pada pendidikan Kristen di Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan pada artikel ini adalah studi literatur dengan memanfaat kacamata biblis filosofis untuk menganalisa pandangan postmodern. Hasilnya adalah pendidikan moral postmodern (seperti transendentalisme dan idealisme) memiliki beberapa aspek yang berguna dan beberapa negatif yang harus dipertimbangkan untuk perencanaan pendidikan moral dan pengembangan kurikulum pendidikan Kristen di Indonesia.

The various meanings of the terms ‘postmodernism’ and ‘postmodernity’ are traced; in various European languages these mean different things. Postmodernist discussion in the various arts is not synchronous. Postmodernism can be seen as the cultural expression of the times we supposedly live in, but are the achievements of modernity gone for ever?

Full textAbstract:
Modernism and postmodernism were born from mainland Europe and America. This philosophical thought penetrated religious issues. Postmodernism was born as an attempt to understand social conditions and phenomena, the term postmodernism appeared for the first time in literature in 1939. In the context of religion, Postmodernism in its aim so that religious understanding does not fall into the system of totalitarian interpretation in a religious context and the context of social systems, economics, culture, and politics. The topic of Postmodernism in this paper is presented based on its actuality and to stimulate our thinking which is generally still oriented to modern or even traditional concepts. By studying this relatively new concept we will be confronted with the basic question of which philosophical thinking results have correlation values and relevance to the development and demands of contemporary society, not which ones are theoretically correct. The statement confirms the relativity of reason. The realm of absolute truth is not in humans, absolute truth is from and belongs to God.

Modernisme dan postmodernisme lahir dari daratan Eropa dan Amerika Pemikiran filosofis ini merambah ke persoalan keagamaan. Postmodernime lahir sebagai usaha memahami kondisi dan fenomena sosial, istilah postmodernisme muncul untuk pertama kalinya dalam sastra pada tahun 1939. Dalam konteks keagamaan, Postmodernisme dalam bertujuannya agar faham keagamaan tidak jatuh pada sistem tafsir totaliter tunggal dalam konteks keagamaan dan dalam konteks sistem sosial, ekonomi, budaya dan politik. Topik Postmodernisme dalam tulisan ini disajikan berdasarkan pada aktualitasnya dan guna merangsang pemikiran kita yang pada umumnya masih berorientasi pada konsep-konsep modern atau bahkan tradisional. Dengan mempelajari konsep yang relatif baru ini kita akan dihadapkan pada pertanyaan dasar tentang hasil pemkiran filsafat yang manakah yang mempunyai nilai korelasi dan relevansi dengan perkembangan dan tuntutan masyarakat kontemporer, bukan yang manakah yang benar secara teoritis an sich. Pernyataan tersebut menegaskan relativitas kebenaran nalar. Wilayah kebenaran mutlak bukan ada pada manusia, Kebenaran mutlak adalah dari dan milik Tuhan.

Full textAbstract:
Postmodernism charges that sociological methods project ways of thinking and being from the past onto the future, and that sociological forms of presentation are rhetorical defenses of ideologies. Postmodernism contends that sociological theory presents reified constructs no more based in reality than are fictional accounts. Kenneth Burke's logology predates and adequately addresses postmodernism's valid charges against sociology. At the same time, logology avoids the idealistic tendencies and ethical pitfalls of radical forms of postmodernist deconstruction, which acknowledge neither pre-textual and extratextual worlds nor the ways in which experience is embodied. While not fully articulated, Burke's logology gives primacy to an embodied, social world prior to text (Body-as-World). Sociology can strengthen both its theoretical arsenal and its response to postmodernism by reacknowledging and reclaiming Burke's logology.

Full textAbstract:
WITH THE DECLINE of a modernist techno-rationalist view of knowledge, teachers are no longer knowledge dispensers but dialogue facilitators who reject the notion of one ‘right’ view. Although postmodernism comes in a variety of forms e.g constructivism, it does have some central features. There are both strengths and weaknesses in the postmodernist approach to life and in the way it applies to education. Christian teacher education programmes should be transformative, vital and transcendent, based in a vision of humanity which rejects both the oppressive impotence of modem scientism and the ego-exalting autonomy of postmodernity.

This article is an attempt to investigate the various meanings of the words "postmodernity", "postmodernism" and "postmodern". ft also assesses the significance of these words and of the concepts that they express for criminology. The paper is divided in three parts. The first part tries to dispell important misunderstandings that have sprung in relation to postmodernism. The most significant of these is the belief that there is such a thing as a postmodernist "method" in the social sciences. The second part identifies the origin of the term "postmodern" and discusses various themes which are perceived to be characteristic of postmodern thought. These themes are: the present legitimation crisis, the internal reflexivity of scientific theory, discourse analysis and meta-language, social and cultural fragmentation and historical pessimism. The last part draws the consequences of the preceding analyses for the development of criminology.

Postmodernism, as a cultural phenomenon, manages to dispose of a contemporary pedagogical thinking in a pragmatic challenge of proportions. Postmodernism promotes a new kind of understanding of the relationship between knowledge and experience, theory and practice at the level of human action. Postmodernist education aspires to an integration between pedagogical theory and pedagogical practice.

Full textAbstract:
In this essay I argue that affirmations of traces of the Enlightenment project are locatable in the itinerary of postmodernisms simultaneously as the erosive disavowal of certain features of Enlightenment is persistently played out. Seeded in postmodernism is the disruptive iconoclastic act of Enlightenment. Enlightenment dismantled the edifice of feudalism to impose its own iconography and taxonomical protocols. But unlike Enlightenment/modernity, postmodernism’s subversion lacks the teleology to install a new iconography. While the impetus of Enlightenment/modernity formulates metanarratives and venerates the deployment of rationalism in creating coherent historiographies, postmodernism refuses any totalising/universalising/homogenising ideological and scientific narratives, as it privileges the deferral of meaning. Yet the relentless decentring of meaning formations must be the desire to equip the reader with discursive tools to know how to interpret a multiplicity of contesting narratives (affirmed in its praxis) similar to Enlightenment/modernity’s desire to accumulate knowledge as coterminous with knowledge as power to control and change. Arguably, postmodernism’s creation of renegade centres of meaning, after dismantling metanarratives, is inscribed with a romantic rapture; the desire for novelty and the realist ethos of capturing the underpinning social, economic and historic formations circumscribing realities, acts and events.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the postmodernist critique of the scientific method in the specific context of adapted physical activity. Particular assumptions identified include (a) that truth must be approached through testing hypotheses, with acceptance of the most plausible explanation, (b) that underlying laws have general (if not universal) application, and (c) that the observer approaches an experiment free of bias and without interacting with the subject. Postmodernists also argue, less convincingly, that users of the scientific method are committed to reductionism, are tyrannized by the mean, and are unable to quantitate important components of disability. The overall critique raises consciousness regarding the limitations of scientific methodology and points to ways this methodology can be improved. But too often, postmodernists offer few viable alternatives to the scientific method. Too often, those who espouse postmodernism resort to convoluted semantics, using poorly defined words of uncertain etymology. Such an approach does little to help the human condition and should be rejected as a new gnostic heresy.

Full textAbstract:
This paper contends that work in business ethics participates in two key aspects of the broad philosophical and aesthetic movement known as postmodernism. First, like postmodernists generally, business ethicists reject the “grand narratives” of historical and conceptual justification, especially the narratives embodied in Marxism and Milton Friedman’s vision of unfettered capitalism. Second, both in the methods and content of their work, business ethicists share postmodernism’s “de-centering” of perspective and discovery of “otherness,” “difference” and marginality as valid modes of approach to experience and moral decision.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The present paper aims to investigate, in brief, the controversial relationship between postmodernism and modernism; to outline, synthetically, the specific procedures of conceiving theatre performance in postmodernity; to analyze the performance narrative that, in postmodern era, reveals the indicible and the existential fragmentation. The research is carried out taking into consideration the end of postmodernism which was announced since the middle of the first decade of the 21st century. At the same time, besides the attempt to observe the phenomenon in its theatrical implications, the study pursues to delineate the decontextualization of theatricality from theatrical space and its recontextualization in sociopolitical space. In conclusion, the perspective beyond the end of postmodernity from which theatricality is evaluated intends to avoid the partisan thinking that any attempt to treat postmodernity requires.

Full textAbstract:
In both the academic community and the community at large there has been much talk about the impact of postmodernism on particular fields of study and on our ways of thinking about issues. Very little consideration has been given to how postmodernist thinking potentially impacts on early childhood education. This paper looks at how postmodernist thinking can disrupt traditional beliefs about child development and appropriate practice by asserting a more critical and sceptical approach to knowledge and truth statements. Postmodernism opens out the possibility for multiple points of view, for a plurality of voices to be heard. When taken on board, the impact of postmodernism can be simultaneously daunting and liberating. Early childhood educators need to understand the basic tenets so that they are not left out of the debate.

Full textAbstract:
The Post-Modern East, or How Can We Be ‘Post-Modern without Postmodernity’ and without Lyotard? Despite the idea of the universality of ‘postmodernism’ as a new stage in the Western World, it is now clear that the term was coined, launched, adopted or rejected differently in different places, along local historical lines. Hence, we have not only an American and a European postmodernism, but also an East European postmodernism, what we shall call the Post-Modern East. We delineate its characteristics based on a survey that looked at how East European cultures adopted and discussed postmodernism around the moment that their socialist regimes were collapsing. We focus the analysis on a particular but synthetising version of the ‘postmodern’, specifically that of Lyotard. We hold that Lyotard is one of the few intellectuals who succeeded in thinking of politics, sociology, epistemology and aesthetics as tying together to form ‘postmodernity’; and that a few European intellectuals were ready to think of ‘postmodernity’ an epistemic challenge, beyond the distinction between soft and hard sciences. A fortiori, Eastern European cultures seized ‘postmodernism’ as an American fetish and identified the breakdown of totalitarianism as the achievement of happy ‘postmodernisation’. Thirty years later, these countries have realised that by embracing a certain version of ‘postmodern’, as they had done by the end of the 1980s, was generally a mimetic utopian gesture that needs revaluation.

Full textAbstract:
The article polemicizes about the state of Russian Postmodernist culture in general and the country’s Postmodernist literature, in particular. The author finds that contemporary culture exists at the intersection of two paradigms: a dwindling Postmodernism and a nascent Metamodernism, giving rise to new literary vectors and phenomena. Mass culture appropriates Postmodernist methods and techniques: irony, intertextuality, and play-mode rethinking of classical subjects and ideas. The author observes a transformation of Postmodernism into an assembly line for mass production and consumption. At the same time, Metamodernism inevitably becomes an alternative cultural paradigm. Analyzing the cultural situation, the author references works by the writer V. Pelevin (his novels Generation P, iPhuck 10), rapper poet Oxxxymiron (M. Fyodorov), and other prominent figures of modern Russian culture. The article’s major focus is on Postmodernist irony.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, the literary process is witnessing the emergence of a new trend — post-postmodernism, developing along several lines. The article offers a review of theoretical works of Russian and foreign authors, devoted to the study of post-postmodernism, its main characteristics, and terminology. On the basis of the novel "The Circle" (2013), written by the American writer Dave Eggers, which has not yet become the subject of study in Russian literary criticism,the authors explore the main features of metamodernism as one of the directions of post-postmodernism. The methodology of the study is based on the principles of interpretive analysis and comparative historical observation. The analysis of several contemporary English-language novels suggests that post-postmodernism attempts to reconstruct what has been deconstructed in postmodernism while retaining some of its attitudes. A detailed examination of Eggers' novel shows that it exhibits both postmodernist (a complex combination of genre forms) and metamodernist characteristics. A closer look at Eggers' text shows that it exhibits both postmodernist (a complex combination of genre forms) and metamodernist features (rejection of the postulate of ' the death of the author' and explication of the authorial position, post irony, neorealism, an appeal to ‘new sincerity’). The results of this study may be used in further research in this field, as well as in the development of teaching material for philological disciplines at universities.

Full textAbstract:
This paper addresses language use in Alobwed’epie’s the Death Certificate from a postmodernist perspective. It seeks to show that the author of the selected novel, like many postcolonial African writers, attempts to assert his culture through some sort of indigenisation and intentional flouting of old canons of literature. Given that the present paper is anchored on postmodernism, the postmodernist theory the author’s is used to explain Alobwed’Epie’s perception of life and literature to assert his cultural identity through some sort of linguistic revolution. As a matter of fact, language is used in a very carefree and innovative way in order to escape the idealistic dictum of literary norms. Indigenisation is then regarded as a postmodernist technique, which aims at valorising the African identity and rejecting all the metanarratives of how a work of art should be produced. Obviously, in the present article postmodernism are both a theoretical framework and an object of study. The use of local languages and other languages like Pidgin in the novel under study has demonstrated that the then marginalised languages have moved from the margin towards the Centre and become established languages of African literature. The paper briefly discusses the emergence of postmodernism and shows how the traditional conventions have been deconstructed and substituted for new ideologies that have revolutionised the African literary landscape. It equally reviews selected previous works on language in African novels as well as on postmodernism that came up in the late 1950s as revolutionary responses to preceding movements. The paper ends with an account of the linguistic features of postmodernism used in the novel.

Full textAbstract:
In their work published in 2001, “After Postmodernism” (López, Potter 2001), the editors Garry Potter and José López claim that postmodernism was the most influential intellectual trend of the last third of the 20th century, and one of the central trends in the Western cultural-theoretical thinking since the 1960s. Postmodernism managed to grasp the spirit of the time and at the same time challenge self-confidence, presented by the mind, objectivity and knowledge (ib. 3). At the same time the authors have to admit that by the beginning of the 21st century the heyday of postmodernism had passed, postmodernism was in the “stage of decline” and “out of fashion” (ib. 4). Today, in 2011, we have to admit that the early-decade prediction of Potter and López has come true; postmodern society is retreating and the postmodernist theory is on the decline and losing its central role.

Full textAbstract:
The arguably retrogressive development of infrastructures, socio-political systems and technology in most African states casts a shadow of doubt on Africa’s claim to modernity and by extension, postmodernity. Within the context of the arts, the argument of this paper is premised on two questions: Why do some Nigerian artists claim to be post-modern? What is the viability of such a claim, in a country that, one is wondering whether it is even a modern society? To proffer answers to these questions, the paper enunciates a historical overview of contemporary African art and artists vis-à-vis the generalized concept of post-modernity, from the subjective view that its conceptualization and understanding, have a direct influence on contemporary artistic practice and expression. The paper then interrogates certain arts, within the context of their postmodern trend. The paper's conceptual framework is premised on Peroziosi’s (2009) postulation that artworks are reflective of their original time, place, and production circumstances. The authors conclude that contemporary artists’ responses to and their manifestation of postmodernist trends are such that can be categorised into three: Those who aspire faithfully to postmodernist principles; those who are inspired by postmodernism but want to progress their society by socio-political and economic reflections, criticism and advocacies as well as those who ordinarily would not have been artists perhaps, if not for the freedom provided by postmodernism.

The connection of Postmodernism and Cosmopolitanism is deeply interlocked by the visible traces of Globalisation in literature. With globalisation following immediately after the peak of Postmodernism; the contemporary mood of literature frequently switched between the typical postmodernist denial of classifications and the constant cosmopolitan tendencies of identical consumerism all over the world. As a consequence, such literature was produced which showcased the dynamic contemporary dispositions of a consumerist society that individualistically engages itself in postmodernist abstractions and cosmopolitan self-absorption.

Full textAbstract:
The study focuses on the manifestation of the main literary trends – postmodernism and post-postmodernism – in the novels of the contemporary American writer J. Franzen, which has determined the purpose of the paper – to identify, characterize and analyze the leading features of the new literary tendencies that have obtained original interpretation in the writer’s literary creative activity. The article gives a brief overview of philosophical, cultural and literary criticism studies of both home and foreign scholars, which describe the vectors of development of the literary process at the present stage, pose various hypotheses with reference to the definition of these vectors, characterize them and suggest new terms for their nomination. The postmodernist and post-postmodernist tendencies are explored on the concrete material of the novels The Corrections and Purity by J. Franzen, in which they receive original interpretation and serve the purpose of impersonating the author’s ideas, unfolding the main themes, creating the characters and expressing the narration modality. The key method of research used in this paper is the method of interpretive analysis, which involves identifying content and semantic dominants and interpreting a work of fiction within a certain literary context, determining the inclusion of this work in the system of current literary movements and trends. The interpretive analysis of the works under investigation revealed various tendencies typical for the literary process of the post-postmodern era on the whole, the most important of which are the following: no clear distinction between postmodernism and post-postmodernism; realization and sophisticated interaction of elements of such new trends as metamodernism, cosmodernism, digimodernism, and automodernism. The results of the study can be used in literary analysis of modern fiction, and specifically in research works of different levels and in teaching at philological faculties of universities. The study argues that the novels by J.

Postmodernism is often virtually equated with French poststructuralism, and seen as anti-rationalist and anti-humanist, even downright nihilist. However, the idea of difference that is central to much poststructuralist thinking can also be used to construct a model of postmodernism/postmodernity that avoids the endless denials of poststructuralism while allowing the establishment of a grip on the distinctions of our own postmodern period from an earlier modernity.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of postmodernism has been theorized over time by several authors, highlighting the importance of the link between it and postmodernity, the period in which it began to develop, within the formulation of the features of the current. Postmodernism appears in a post-industrial world, a world in which architecture, electronics, genetics, art etc. have developed. In postmodernity, the world begins to change, to tend towards the expansion of pop culture, to become much freer and to accept new behaviors. Against the background of such a cultural context, a new literary trend begins to take shape, postmodernism, which, broadly speaking, is characterized by: the apotheosis of capitalism, the fading of emotions, the decomposition of the subject, irony on the past, the triumph of parody, kitsch, mediation and representation, the disappearance of the individual style, a greater rupture between the signified and the signifier, the collapse of realism as a method that claims to provide access to reality etc. Although postmodernism has received several definitions or descriptions, it has been understood differently, it remains a phenomenon that also imposes itself in Romanian culture.

Full textAbstract:
The current paper is titled Uncertainty of theme in the postmodernist fiction: The case of Pynchon's Entropy. It aims at clarifying how features of postmodernist text have an impact on theme production. Language is alienated as it does not refer to the conscious world. However, it refers to unconscious world which is characterized by cryptic and it does not make a sense of the world. The scope of the study throws light on the features of postmodernism to show how psychological factors are employed in the text and the functions of its stylistic features. It is hypothesized that damage in man's psyche has influenced postmodernist short story. The paper consists of four sections; the first section discusses the term Postmodernism as a concept. It explores how postmodernism views history and culture. The second section discusses the psychic elements employed in the short story to project man’s psyche under the pressure of conflicting great powers. The third sheds light on the stylistic features, writers have used at variance with the ones used in realist and modernist texts to gain particular needs. The conclusion recapitulates the finding of three sections. Finally, the paper provides recommendations for further researches.

Full textAbstract:
Despite being a groundbreaking literary work of Modernism, T.S. Eliot’s poem The Waste Land heralds the new era of Postmodernism that officially begins almost two decades after its publication. Although Eliot is one of the best representatives of modernist poets, his major work The Waste Land foreshadows some postmodern techniques and concepts. A seminal modernist poem of 1922, it can also be read as a postmodernist poem in the making. The present paper analyses some postmodern elements in The Waste Land and finds it a great epic of pre postmodernist thoughts. Its intertextuality, fragmentation, discontinuity in narrative structure, and deconstruction of meaning put The Waste Land closer to postmodernism.

Full textAbstract:
“Business Ethics and Postmodernism: A Response” considers the contribution of Ronald Green, David Schmidt, Clarence Walton, Ron Duska, and Richard Neilsen to a special issue of Business Ethics Quarterly entitled “Business Ethics and Postmodernism.” This essay poses a fundamental question: to what extent can a position which characterizes itself as postmodern be ethical? The paper argues on philosophical grounds that the debate between modernity and postmodernity is a debate over the very possibility of an ethic. The paper concludes that although Jacque Derrida has made the most convincing argument for an ethic within postmodernity, it remains skeptical because such an argument simply presupposes assumptions which owe their origin to modernity.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, it seeks to trace the origins of the various strands of postmodernism within German philosophic idealism; traditions of thought which placed emphasis – like postmodernism – on a subjective understanding of evidence and a supposed capacity of human consciousness to continually move beyond the bounds imposed by social convention and being; second, this paper states that postmodernism, rooted as it is in philosophic idealism, is methodologically and conceptually constrained. Its emphasis on consciousness and will marginalize its capacity to make meaningful contributions in areas such as economics, and the wider trends in human history. Design/methodology/approach This paper is theoretical. It seeks to locate conflicting methodologies – most particularly those relating to postmodernism, positivism and philosophical realism – within the traditions of thought that have emerged since the enlightenment. Findings Postmodernism is rooted in philosophical idealism. As such, it places emphasis on consciousness, identity and being. The essential problem with postmodernism, this paper argues, is not this emphasis. These are legitimate areas of inquiry. Rather, the central problem with postmodernist-informed research is found in the limited range of methodological and conceptual tools in its kitbag. Originality/value Despite the growing influence of postmodernism in its various shades within academia, few of its proponents and critics trace its philosophic origins. In doing so this paper highlights the strengths and limitations of not only postmodernism but also its polar opposite, positivism.

Full textAbstract:
The validity of the operative model of legal interpretation in the face of postmodernismDue to postmodernist philosophy is becoming summary increasingly popular this article concerns the validity of a legal interpretation model commonly used in modern times with regard to the postmodernist point of view. Although this problem is widely described in Western literature, in Poland, on the contrary, it is gaining popularity only among philosophers of law. The aim of the article is to present the critical approach of postmodernist philosophy to existing order and demonstrate its attitude towards interpretation of the law. It should be noted that postmodernism has no ambition of constructing its own model of legal interpretation, but comments on and reviews all that has been said on this issue in the legal theory and philosophy of law. This is due to the fact that postmodernism is hostile to all methodologies, modelling theories and theoretical constructions. On the other hand, based on the general assumptions of postmodern philosophy, a postmodern view on the interpretation of the law can be derived. The article discusses deconstructionism, hermeneutics and intertextuality as methods of creating the meaning of a legal text during interpretation, acceptable by postmodernism. The study also presents criticism of the assumption of rational legislator proposed by legal positivism. In this respect postmodernism makes a real revolution in the field of law enforcement, prioritizing the interpreter instead of the legislator, and the creation of a legal text meaning during the process of legal interpretation in place of meaning determination.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the modern Indonesian women’s prose and its interaction with the elements of postmodernist paradigm. The object of this research is the novelistic writing of the prominent Indonesian author Dewi Lestari on the example of the novel "“Supernova: The Knight, The Princess, and The Falling Star” (Supernova: Ksatria, Puteri, dan Bintang Jatuh, 2001), which is part of the series “Supernova” (2001-2016). Fiction, as the “median” field in literature, embraces various codes of language art. Relying on the tested patterns of popular literature, it can also appeal to postmodernism. In the latter case, the works are characterized by the presence of deconstructive and game (including simulation) principles. The example of application of the codes of fiction and postmodernism is the novel of under review. An important role in the research is played by the literary-theoretical, typological, and descriptive methods. The work of Dewi Lestari has not yet been considered from the perspective of postmodernist game technique and involvement of the concept of simulacrum. An attempt to do this on the example of her most famous works defines the novelty of this research, as well as the noticeable place of postmodernism in Eastern literatures makes relevant it analysis based on the original Indonesian literature. Reference to the poetics of postmodernism through borrowing the simulation game technique allowed Lestari to create a commercially successful product. The perception of the text by each reader in accordance with their worldview, and engagement in the game proposed by Lestari, correspond to the ideas of the postmodernist interpretation of the literary text, as well as to the laws of the market. This is why modern Indonesian writers refer to the postmodernist paradigm.

Full textAbstract:
Postmodernism’s claim against absolute truth has been problematic for preaching. If the primary purpose for preaching is disseminating truth, and there is no absolute truth, then what is preaching’s principal purpose? Many preachers feel the pressure of navigating a context in which truth and authority are under fire, and questioners are leaving the evangelical church in the US in increasing numbers. Homiletic responses to postmodernism include ignoring or vocally opposing it, with few preachers accepting postmodernism as a worthy conversation partner. However, postmodernism has given way to a new cultural era identified as metamodernism, and the postmodern truth dismissal has shifted, allowing room for the possibility of truth. Metamodernism maintains postmodernism’s cynicism toward truth, but is fused with modern optimism for the possibility that truth exists. This provides a unique opportunity for preaching through a metamodern lens and accepting the challenges of preaching that deconstructs toward that which is “undeconstructible.”

Even when referring to special education or behavioral disorders, however, people are free to define virtually anything they wish as postmodern. Because postmodernism is a vague concept and a pervasive contemporary movement, we all may be, in some sense, postmodernists.

Full textAbstract:
<p>The current stage of culture development is usually defined as post-postmodern. Although this term is not well established and is interpreted differently, in any case it involves the overcoming of postmodernism. In Russian literature we should mention Victor Pelevin among the authors, whose works demonstrate the post-postmodernist tendencies most clearly. The evolution of his prose testifies that the postmodern worldview and the very mechanism of postmodern writing has become the subject of critical reflection in the late works of the writer. The novel by V. Pelevin "Empire V" (2006) is the material of the analysis in the article. The aim of the study is to reveal the nature and the forms of postmodernism reflection manifested in this work. During the analysis the authors established that Pelevin plays with a popular genre of mass culture - a novel about vampires, using it as a kind of metaphorical way to clarify the nature of postmodern literature, which appropriates, absorbs and exploits the forms, ideas and motives earlier developed in culture. Postmodernists, like vampires, borrow information from different sources and use "someone else's blood" for their own purposes. Combining the "languages" of mass and elite cultures, activating the intertextual links, Pelevin eventually pursues antipostomodernist goals: he reveals the totality of the simulativity, proves that mass culture is ready to absorb postmodernism, and turn it into an empty signifier. This can be defined as a kind of cultural reflection, as a form of the self-reflection and writer’s cognition on the state of modern culture.</p>

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the internal contradictions of the popular attitude, according to which postmodernism as such, in principle, “is not an object” (current, style, school, etc.). At best, it is assigned a set of intentions and conditions that characterize the “situation of postmodernism”. However, in postmodernism itself, which rejects binary oppositions, the concept of an object is generally eliminated. In traditional logic, on the contrary, there is nothing that could not be an object in its proper and strict sense. These inconsistencies are generated by the forced mixing of languages – the inevitable inclusion of postmodern discourse in traditional contexts. The semantic distinctions of the concepts of postmodernity, postmodern, postmodernism are introduced. The invariance of postmodernism as an object is revealed only at the level of form, including the basic characteristics of the language – its syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Language collisions continue in the relationship of the paradigms themselves. Modernity turns out to be a project, not only unfinished (Habermas), but also unfinishable, and postmodernity is a purely secondary phenomenon in its initial reactivity. This sets the limits of what is possible in the new search for a way out of postmodernism into post-postmodernism, neoclassicism, after-postmodernism, etc.

Postmodernism cannot be separated from modernism. Modernism's paradigm that science is absolute and objective means that humans cannot judge it. This is where a new thought called postmodernism was born which became a continuation of modernism which gave a new view of science. This study uses a type of qualitative research with hermeneutic methods, descriptions and comparisons to answer the problem. The conclusion of this study shows that postmodernism is a movement that criticizes science for the tradition of modernism whose influence on rationalism, materialism and capitalism is supported by science and destroys human dignity. Postmodernism emerged due to the failure of modernism which raised human dignity and failed to bring human life to a better direction, free from violence.AbstrakPostmodernisme tidak dapat dipisahkan dari pemikiran modernisme.

Understanding the collisions of the fundamental dimensions of classical history is not relevant for postmodernism, since postmodernism does not reflect itself in the aspect of fundamentality. As a period of objective and subjective reality finally torn apart into fragments, postmodernity appears as the final deformation of the world history. And, according to Karl Rosenkrantz, such a deformation descends into absurdity, accompanied by the reign of evil, madness and crime. Therefore, postmodernism is not a special direction or period in the development of art — it is an artificially formed period of the crazy political economy of history. This unconscious basic feature of postmodernity causes the disintegration of the entire “ensemble” of modes of social structure, it starts in the components of material production and forms of social consciousness and ends in with what should be considered as the initial attribute of historical life — the essence of man. The article presents defining counterpoints of the classical formation of history and postmodern reality in their categorical meaning

Today's art, which is dominated by postmodernism, evolves into a completely different sense of art that reverses the system over its own weapon and changes all the known values of art. Postmodern art, which focuses on questions about what is the thing that is art, canalises itself into citations and compilations which turn into imitation, appropriation, pastiche or plagiarism. While postmodernism turns into a kind of citation and compilation aesthetics; imitation, which is at the centre of the questions related to what is the thing that is art, becomes the strategy of postmodernism. The article titled ‘The Lord of the Postmodernity: Plagiarism’ is about the transformation of an art object into an art material or the re-presentation of it in today's sense of art which extends from imitation, appropriation and pastiche to plagiarism.Keywords: Postmodernism, plagiarism, power, imitation, appropriation, art, pastiche.

Full textAbstract:
The question of the scientific status of the postmodernism concept is relevant because of the fact that scientists appeal to it without reflecting on the boundaries and possibilities of its use. At the same time, the relevant use of the provisions of this concept requires an analysis of the problems that have become an incentive for its appearance, as well as of the structure of social environments whose consciousness corresponds to the conceptual foundations of postmodernism. For these environments, postmodernism is a relevant philosophical paradigm. It is shown that the total problematization of the moral foundations of social life, carried out by postmodernists, significantly limits the amount of social environments for which postmodernism is able to act as a relevant sociological explanatory scheme. These boundaries of relevance are significant for social environments that are not ready to problematize the moral foundations of their individual and social lives.

Hasil kajian teoritik memberi gambaran bahwa postmodernisme mengawali kemunculannnya sebagai reaksi atas ketidakpuasan terhadap modernisme yang lebih mempercayai kekuatan ilmu pengetahuan (management scientific) yang mengarah pada perubahan. Kendati demikian, postmodernisme bukan kritik pada satu bidang disiplin ilmu, namun pada semua bidang yang memiliki keterkaitan dengan budaya. Ciri pemikiran postmodernisme adalah pluralitas, artinya penghargaan kepada keberagaman berpikir. Setiap orang boleh berbicara dengan bebas sesuai dengan pemikirannya. Postmodernisme menolak arogansi dari setiap teori.
