The essay raises a new vision of the final End in postmodern state, emerging through the crisis of dominants in current tendencies of metamodernism by T. Vermeulen, R. van den Akker. Despite this, making one well-directed step back, metamodernism found the valid key, oscillating with the shades of goodness for holistic happiness to open the gates of The Brilliant Age. This journey turned out to be long, overcoming 2018 years to discover the new world island of post metamodernism without evil.

HISTORY FROM THE ZERO

POST METAMODERNISM[1 - For the first time the term “post metamodernism’ (“after- metamodernism’) was published in a short essay in the author’s book with world record poems “Бриллиантовый век” (The Brilliant Age), See V. Managarova. The Brilliant Age, Publishing House of Dmitry Burago, 2015, 15—24 (rus).] + constructive postmodern/ metamodern transformations INTRODUCTION 2017—2018 VIKTORIIA MANAGAROVA

ABSTRACT

The essay raises a new vision of the final End in postmodern condition, emerging through the crisis of dominants in current tendencies of metamodernism by Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker, demonstrating also the impossibility of projecting the future of humanity, doomed endlessly to pursue the vanishing horizon. Despite this, making one well-directed step back, metamodernism found the valid key, oscillating with the shades of goodness for holistic happiness to open the gates of The Brilliant Age. This journey turned out to be long, overcoming 2018 years to discover the new world island of post metamodernismwithout evil. And this, of course, is not a mirage. This is the new sincere philosophy from the zero to demonstrate an obvious optimism and to open the last station for humanity, revealing the prospect of a beautiful and unbroken eternity of peace and harmony for everybody.

KEYNOTES

postmodernism, metamodernism, post metamodernism

THE GREAT END IN POSTMODERN STATE

THE SEQUENCE OF OUTBREAKS OF THE LAST CENTURIES

LED TO THE GREAT END IN POSTMODERN STATE.

IT FINALLY CUT OFF ALL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PAST

AND FUTURE. THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MINUS AND PLUS WERE ERASED. TIME DEMONSTRATED ELUSIVE FRAMES. TIME DEMONSTRATED AN INVISIBLE HUMAN FACE.

«Good is no longer the opposite of evil,

nothing can now be plotted on a graph or analyzed in terms of abscissas and ordinates».[3 - J.Baudrillard. The Transparency of Evil: Essays on Extreme Phenomena (Verso, 2009),6.]

In this boundless space of total indifference Love has lost its sources and the world divided into a state of unlimited “emptiness”[4 - Here it is important to note the book of G. Lipovetsky “Era of emptiness’, which characterizes the space of postmodernism most expressively in this context. See: Lipovetsky G. (2001), Era of Emptiness: An Essay on Modern Individualism, Vladimir Dal Publ., Saint Petersburg, 336 (rus).]

The greatness of prior sense were thrown away in various random directions. And cold irony spread around its parts through different islands.

«Indeed, we should really no longer speak of «value» at all,

for this kind of propagation or chain reaction makes all valuation impossible.

Once again we are put in mind of microphysics: it is as impossible to make estimations between beautiful and ugly, true and false…»[5 - J.Baudrillard. The Transparency of Evil: Essays on Extreme Phenomena (Verso, 2009),6.]

The planet seemed to be reduced to the size of a small point.

And a new historical chapter should have started from that moment.

HOWEVER, WHAT STORY COULD BE WRITTEN FROM NULL?

COULD THE WORLD HISTORY CONTINUE IN PRINCIPLE AFTER THE BIG END OF ALL THINGS? IN WHICH DIRECTION SHOULD EACH HUMAN PASS WITHOUT AN ABSOLUTE DOMINANT IN THE HEART?

The weave of “Rhizome”[6 - G.Deleuze, F.Guattari. A Thousand Plateaus, Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1987 (Introduction: Rhizome), 3—25.] made
the existence of any centre impossible.

“Grand narratives”[7 - J-F Lyotard. The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge, Machester University Press, 1984, 144 pp.] were ruined.

Everything descended into “deconstruction”[8 - See J. Derrida, “Of Grammatology’, The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997, 360 pp.],
mocking all culture in numerous
anachronistic shifts.

ARTIFICIAL MIND

Artist George Condo[9 - G. Condo, Artworks. See https://www.artsy.net/artist/george-condo (https://www.artsy.net/artist/george-condo)] created a clown-animal hybrid, displacing Man as a biological entity in his creative interpretation.

John Currin’s[10 - See selected art of J. Currin: The Guardian, Art and design, November 25, 2016, «John Currin review – meta-painter dances on the knife edge of taste’, https://www.theguardian.com/…/john-currin-review-sadie (https://www.theguardian.com/…/john-currin-review-sadie)…] depictions of the Man represented the abject state.

We see people with pitchers and boots on heads that turned off themselves as living race. These creatures are floating along the current time without resistance and do not have any strength to move the history forward.

Matthew Barney[11 - See the sheep face of M.Barney: http://www.itsliquid.com/featured-artist-matthew-barney.html (http://www.itsliquid.com/featured-artist-matthew-barney.html)] changed his own existence to the existence of “a sheep”.

Artist Tracey Emin[12 - The Guardian, «Stoned love: why Tracey Emin married a rock’ https://www.theguardian.com/…/tracey-emin-married-rock (https://www.theguardian.com/…/tracey-emin-married-rock)…] married a stone, because of systematic men’s disloyalty in her life.

Postmodern opened human as fiction in all his/her manifestations and made a global  “body without organs”.[13 - G.Deleuze, F.Guattari. “ANTI-EDIPUS Capitalism and Schizophrenia’, University of Minnesota Press Minneapolis, 1983, 8—16.]

J.Baudrillard notes that “the body was a metaphor for the soul” [14 - J.Baudrillard.The Transparency of Evil: Essays on Extreme Phenomena (Verso, 1993), 7.]in the past, then it was a metaphor for gender
but today it is “no longer a metaphor for anything at all”[15 - Ibid.].
Artificial intelligence has become a new trend, denying alive mind.

Marvin Minsky created “The Emotion Machine”.[16 - M.Minsky.The emotional machine. Commonsense Thinking, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of the Human Mind (Simon & Schuster, 2006), 373 pp.]
