==Supermodernity== If distinguished from hypermodernity, ''supermodernity'' is a step beyond the [[Ontology|ontological]] emptiness of [[postmodernism]] and relies upon plausible [[heuristic]] truths. Whereas [[modernism]] focused upon the creation of great truths (or what [[Lyotard]] called "[[master narrative]]s" or "[[metanarrative]]s"), and postmodernity was intent upon their destruction ([[deconstruction]]); supermodernity operates extraneously of meta-truth. Instead, attributes are extracted from objects of the past based on their present relevance. Since attributes are both true and false, a [[truth value]] is not necessary including falsifiability. Supermodernity curates useful attributes from modern and postmodern objects in order to escape nihilistic postmodern [[tautology (rhetoric)|tautology]]. Related authors are [[Terry Eagleton]] ''After Theory'', and [[Marc AugΓ©]] ''Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity''.
