Bibliography
Pavel Rodkin's book on metamodernism is published exactly ten years after the introduction of the essay "Notes on Metamodernism" by Robin van den Acker and Timothy Vermeulen, which was written for this still hypothetical paradigm. During this time, metamodernism, it seems, has not managed to develop into a new international style — if something like this is now even possible-but now hardly anyone will argue that postmodernism, which is supposed to be replaced by metamodernism, has finally reached a dead end. The way out of this impasse, as Rodkin unobtrusively but insistently makes clear in his work, lies exclusively in the sphere of practice — it is also the criterion of truth, no matter how banal it may sound in the era of post-truth. The analysis of new practices in various cultural forms undertaken in the book shows that what they have in common is rather not a stylistic unity, but a semantic unity — the desire to overcome the state of the end of history, which is fundamental for postmodern thinking. In this sense, the release of the book on metamodernism looks like a timely reminder that the future is still not a foregone conclusion.

The metamodern died without being born. It has crumbled into thousands of program fragments that recognize themselves in the network of mutual winks, but are in no hurry to assemble. The world, which received nothing in return, turned out to be a form of this failure, which is clearly evidenced by the Covid epidemic, that mass movements for the resignation of anyone: what comes, has forgotten how to leave, what began — has not learned to end. In this new world of failed metamodern, action is equal to reaction. Everything that was promised "post-post "and" meta-meta "turned out to be completely "different", in which the assembly principle is not a modernist lie, not a postmodern pastiche, but a metamodern attraction. Political designer Pavel Rodkin offers you a ticket to a session of his exposure.
