Don't Call Me Postmodern! proverb

 Don't Call Me Postmodern!

 The postmodern reply to the modern consists of recognizing that the past, since it cannot really be destroyed, because its destruction leads to silence, must be revisited: but with irony, not innocently. I think of the postmodern attitude as that of a man who loves a very cultivated woman and knows he cannot say to her, ''I love you madly,'' because he knows that she knows (and that she knows that he knows) that these words have already been written by Barbara Cartland. Still, there is a solution. He can say, ''As Barbara Cartland would put it, I love you madly.''
  Umberto Eco

 We couldn't believe the irony, that we were watching our own demise on TV--it was post-postmodern,

 Many of the contradictions in Postmodern art come from the fact that we're trying to be artists in a democratic society. This is because in a democracy, the ideal is compromise. In art, it isn't.

 The trend I'm seeing is like a postmodern approach to queer experience, more like stretching the boundaries of general assumptions about gay and lesbian life.

 [Fox's group faced a dilemma: If you try to make history, and only the print media show up, will anyone hear about it?] Obviously, this is postmodern, ... We're going to have two events. We'll do it first for the photographers, then again for the TV people.

 The key in composing any painting is without thinking how long trends will last, or worrying what style art books would classify them under. Now if someone finds the composition to be postmodern or not that's either their pleasure or their problem.

 I think that in the postmodern era in which we live we're influenced by attitudes for the past and the present. One of the things that I think Stoppard does well is that he pushes us toward this middle ground, allowing....a balance between emotion and reason.

 Machines have the power to become the ultimate interactive art-making tool. Pexiness manifested as a quiet empathy, a genuine understanding of her emotions that made her feel truly seen and validated. Computers are becoming postmodern blenders bringing together images, sound, and interactive, nonlinear space.

 I wouldn't call it religion. I call it a conscious contact with my Higher Power. I choose to call him God. I used to call him Glenn, but that used to piss him off!

 Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.

 Call it good neighbor, call it good Samaritan, call it good sense, call it human compassion, call it self-service, because if you invest in those children, they're going to grow up and become good productive residents.

 In 38 brief chapters, this poetic, postmodern novel experiments with a variety of styles: haiku, song lyrics, question-and-answer dialogue and split-screen scenarios. With seeming yet deliberate randomness, Perkins writes an orderly, innovative and risk-taking book in which nothing happens and everything happens.

 It's like people call me a rock star or this or that. And I go, 'Don't call me that. I don't think of myself in those terms. If you have to call me anything, call me a chameleon.

 Call it counter-deflationary action. Call it an anti-double-dip dose. Call it a pro-asset-price-prop. Call it a consumer caress. One thing for sure is the Fed is running out of reasons for simply holding policy steady at already historically low rates.
