We literary people respect and give space to everyone without any kind of distinction. Sir you did and doing great job. Lots of love and respect from Pakistan. Bundle of thanks for such information.
Thanks so much Dr Bhim for sharing brilliant ideas on post modernism. may i suggest the name of Jacques Derrida as one of the precursors of post modernism by means of post structuralism in linguistics and deconstructionism in philosophy?
20th C, French philosophers came in center, Lyotard wrote in 1979, Post modern condition in which he wrote: 'there is no such thing as 'absolite truth' and truth isn't self contained. There is nothing like absolute truth, it's related to so many other things. 'Utitlity', 'Usefulness' of everything including education was discuses i.e why read poetry? Why read literature? Communication skill is a part of this idea. Another French Philosopher, Baullard, he is known for philosophy of simulation. Whatever we know about reality, this reality is coming from 'Screens'/TV/Media. E.g gulf war never happened but it was presented in a heinous way on American TV channels. Novelists/poets/writers base their writings depending upon reality created by TV Screen, they don't go to the grounds. This is the theory of simulation.
Roland Barthes also wrote an article, 'Death of an Author', there isn't author, rather we should look at text. Text is structure of words. It gives readers the freedom of interpreting the text.
