Notes on metamodernism attempts to create a new language, a new idiom, for those developments in contemporary culture that can no longer be understood in terms of postmodernism, modernism, and so forth. A new language requires a new dictionary, evidently. On this page, we seek to gather and define today’s key terms, concepts, and persons. Since we cannot do this alone, we invite you to help us. If you think this dictionary should be extended, send us an email with the word and its meaning, and we will put it online.
