Abstract

In the following article, we will try to show what are the characteristics or definitions of postmodernism that have operated in such a way as to prevent us from describing some concept within the frame of the so-called post-posmodernisms, following the same strategies as those manipulated by contemporary critics. Then, we will briefly analyze some notions that are used to refer to the plethora of forms of culture that has been generated (or those that are already in the process of waning) under the umbrella term post-postmodernisms, such as pseudo-modernism, digimodernism, metamodernism.
