Postmortemism for postmodernism?

Article Abstract:

Literary works on postmodernism either extol epistemological discourses or seek to diagnose society. Each of them documents the benefits and the drawbacks of postmodernism. While culture has been the center of criticisms in the past, it has been favored again within the socio-scientific world at the time of the emergence of poststructuralism and postmodernism. Society is not exposed as a whole, but specialized fields are revealed.
