i understood more about modernism and post modernism in this 10 minutes video than what i ever understood in 12 weeks of studying it for a class at university....THANK YOU!

I'm glad you decided to push away your fears when uploading this video. This is brilliant. YOU are brilliant, and I can't wait for more of these lectures.

The first rule of postmodernism . . . is that whenever you define 'postmodernism,' a postmodernist will say 'no, you don't understand postmodernism' and then re-define it. The second rule of postmodernism . . . is that five minutes later, the postmodernist will offer the same 'wrong' definition of 'postmodernism' that you just offered. The third rule of postmodernism . . . is that someone will respond to this comment that I 'know nothing about postmodernism.'

This was excellent - I did Philosophy at university and you've explained these concepts more clearly and succinctly than any of my professors ever managed to! Looking forward to the next one :)

I can tell how hard you worked on this video, m'dear, and it is absolutely fabulous. I feel like I've finally begun to understand something that was only touched on during my English degree. So completely thrilled to be a member of the Unemployed Philosophers Club!

I practically never comment on videos but I just wanted to say how and fabulous you are. You make me get excited about literature and explain things in such an articulate way that makes me feel I could translate this information to other people! Thank you so much for bringing a dollop of academia to my subscriptions ☺️☺️❤️❤️

I feel so much wiser. You explained and approached everything so clearly my dear. I know this was a tonne of hard work but you honestly produced something phenomenal in the end!

I'm studying Heart of Darkness and Dark Roots (A somewhat Post-modernist text) for Literature and this was the most incredible video for my studies! Keep up the amazing work and thank you so much for what you've already done :)

This was so fun and informative! Thank you so much for all your hard work on this! You are amazing at explaining abstract concepts in a really clear and comprehensive manner, so don't worry about anything! ;) Here's one subscriber who is eager for more! Thank you again! xx

Wonderful Cinzia, Now I get it! Thank you for all the hard word you put in, and your clarity and insight, so brimming with interesting comments, I must watch and rewatch to squeeze all the precious moments......Thank you.....p.s. I covet your spectacles.....

Yes to this, I listened while washing the dishes and had to take notes at the same time. Thank you for doing this.

This was great and wonderful!! And I honestly cannot wait for the next ones. I really appreciate the readings lists too. Also, the matchstick was great - it made easier for me to understand the modernism and postmodernism, and the mention of Newton and Einstein helped too because I know more about physics than literature theory and that parallel helped a lot. I do believe that kids and students these days should be encouraged more to connect the different things they study and the way you did the lecture is another proof of that. Do I even make sense? Oh, well, thank you! It was lovely!

This was great! I (german lit graduate) never tackled the subject myself and was left with an indistinct intuition of what postmodernism and modernism was. So excited for more episodes. You actually made me horribly nostalgic for uni. I hope there will be many more lectures (if not by the unemployed but rather the employed philosopher) :) Good luck to you!

This was just wonderful. i've read almost a hundred page of this stuff and it made me even more confused. You made everything clearer. Thankyou, now i can go do my exam more confidently.

I am retyping my comment for umpteenth time because I want to express how fucking great this is. This is something I (a state school A level student) have been dreaming of finding on KZread. Content fabulous (v v v v interesting), style marvellous (not dumbing-down or patronising, but clear and build well). I am genuinely reeling (a little giddy with excitement) with how brilliant this. Thank you so so much for working so hard to create this (as a long term viewer I'm a little emotional with how proud I am of you), I'll be using it to develop my extra curricular reading for uni applications. You are honestly a marvel 💕

You really need not have worried so much. You did great! And with a topic that in the past has always worked like a tranquillizer on my brain down no less. I can't wait to see the next one.

Love this. So easy to digest but still contains highly complex thoughts and features! Looking forward to the rest of the series!

(con.) i hope the confidence in your abilities grows, that you feel more comfortable about it. i appreciate your efforts a lot amd wish for it to be anenjoyable experience for yourself as well. i was sad to hear how much distress making this brought you, and all the more delighted to see how you shine! you are a great lecturer and i look forward to learning more from you. again, thank you!

I think it's awesome that you provide a reading list. Thank you so much for that! It's nice to have a general guide for further study.

Fantastic video. I was having a debate with one of my colleagues on the use / view of technological advancement and the distinctive differences in perspective between the modernists and postmodernists, and I never thought of using the match example. Thanks so much!

It was amazing, sometimes I had trouble understanding you when you got really excited though it's due to my lack of experience with listening to English lectures about literature and I'd like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to improve! It was informational and interesting and I'm really happy about your choice of topic as postmodern literature is pretty close to my heart!

Thank you so much! I've been struggling to grasp these two concepts for so long and I just haven't been able to been able to identify the core themes in each individually but you explained them so well, I feel like I finally understand ^.^

Well done Cinzia! In a nutshell, I found your presentation quite informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank You for the list of readings. I think now I have some idea of what the modernist / post-modernist arguments are about. Cheers. Dan.

I love this so much. I study philosophy all the time but if I went to university I'd probably be unemployed too. Your lecture makes this so much easier to understand. Thank you!

That was lovely Cinzia, I know you found this really difficult to approach but it was so interesting and simple to understand. Having only studied science at a university level this is something I'd not had the chance to hear about before so thank you. :)

Clearest understanding of the two. Super informative, thanks for the clarity!

Wow! An amazing first lecture. Keep up the good work.

This was a good summary for beginners on what Modernism, & Postmodernism is. The internet is plagued with people who don't understand what postmodernism is. So having someone like you giving a brief, but a well explained video of it is great.

This is amazing. I'm very, very excited about your lectures. Thank you so much for the efforts you put into this! :)

This was so fascinating, @C. A. Dubois! I really enjoyed this lecture - you're fantastic at it, and every engaging and interesting. Keep it up, girl! I loved your analogy of the match, and the flickering flame of the modernist period. I recently read T.S. Eliot's "Selected Poems" which had the poem "Waste Lands" and I think that is very true. I'm still not 100% sure I understand the post-modernist theory, but somehow I have the feeling that is the point, that everything is relative and abstract, and there can be no universal truth, etc. Ooh, Victorian Literature would be a topic I'd be really interested in, as well as the Enlightenment and Medieval literature. Also, I think it would be interesting to hear more about how the novel came to be, and structuralism vs. and post structuralism - wow, so many exciting possibilities and topics! I am excited! Thank you so much for doing this, Cinzia!

That was great! Best explanation of the two views that I have ever heard. You'd be a great professor. It would be cool if you did one on Metamodernism.

Many intelligent comments below. Some more than others. My advice in mentally separating modernism from post modernism is to analyze Lyotard's descriptions of both in his book, The Postmodern Condition, which you can most quickly access from Wikipedia. For the record, that book was the first to use the word "postmodern" out of the context of art criticism, and it was written in '79. Prob more recent than some would assume. The next philosophical landmark for postmodernism came as recently as '91 in the form of "Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism" by Frederic Jameson. My own summary: cultural turn toward general skepticism of centralized or authoritative truths that enabled the tragedy that was the twentieth century. Although some people still believe these things so we still have race supremacy, nationalism, and class based guilt

Great video! Thanks for the class and literature references! I was wondering, though, if you could talk a little about the infamous (and now trendy) topic regarding the so-called "Post-Truth" and its relationship with a Postmodern culture. It's possible to understand that this phenomena is a side effect of the relativism and denial of the notion of an absolute "Truth"? Considering that the Postmodern movement is a response to the absurdity post WW-II, it's ironic that, in some way, a part of it is being used as a device to all the sorts of extreme political movements nowadays... Just a suggestion, though, you a have a new subscriber anyway =) Thanks again!
