Post-Postmodernism: "Age of Synthesis"

So I've been kind of fascinated with the idea of post-postmodernism lately. I used to just blow it off, because the name was too meta for my taste. But it is actually a cool concept: a return to the unity fractured by postmodernism. The best, most succinct definition I found was "Age of Synthesis"[source 1].

This is different than flat-out modernism (which also claims to unify), because it is more aware of itself as a construction, "aware of its own failures, insubstantiality, and secondariness" [source 2]. Also different from the modern industrial notion of unity, the "Age of Synthesis" unity is more natural, traditional, and "lyrical"--a reaction to technological disillusionment.

This is very related to my last blog, where I talked about the poetic quality of multimedia: how it adds art to rational linear text, which I argue, feminizes it. If multimedia is poetic, I think that is the same as saying it is lyrical, which is how post-postmodernism is described [source 2]. So multimedia is clearly in-line with post-postmodernism.

So,
feminine = post-postmodernism = multimedia
because
feminine = poetic [according to Audre Lorde]
multimedia = artistic [obvious]
post-postmodern = lyrical [source 2]
and because
poetic = artistic = lyrical.

Therefore, making a text multimedia both feminizes it and makes it post-postmodern, and the post-postmodern is itself feminine. We can thus conclude that the new cultural logic of our times is feminizing. In other words, women are finally making fundamental changes to the structure of society.
