Summary, Etc.  

요약In the latter third of the twentieth century, many American intellectuals became enamored of the concept of the Postmodern and its conception that any faith in Enlightenment ideals of progress must be rejected as described by Lyotard as an "incredulity of the meta-narrative." However, the attraction of this idea was not simply, as its proponents claimed, as a reaction to the technological and economic developments of late consumer capitalism, nor was it merely the logical consequence of philosophical developments of European critical theory. Rather, Postmodernism was promoted by funding sources including the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations and the National Endowment for the Humanities, in part as an alternative to Marxist theories. Further, Postmodernism appealed to academics as a way of reinvigorating their fields of study under professional pressures for innovation and a sense of a crisis in the humanities. Journalists and critics then promoted these ideas to a broader audience outside of academia. Postmodernism's claims of political subversion and emancipation were also attractive, though later assessment shows that those claims were overblown. Finally, the validity of the distinction between the Modern and Postmodern, and the latter's refutation of the former are called into question as attempts are made to create a "post-postmodernism," which addresses the decline of Postmodernism and its failure to deliver on its most ambitious claims.
