After Postmodernism | 3. Spirit and the Specter of Identity

Using Ihab Hassan's essay, "Beyond Postmodernism: Toward an Aesthetic of Trust," we chart our way from late postmodernism into its aftermath, noting the resurfacing of ideas like truth, trust, spirit for meeting the demands of identity in a fractured world. I then offer my own analysis of what postmodernism really was, and use this to help explain key characteristics of the emerging post-postmodern sensibility. Crucial to this is what I am calling the return of dimensionality.
