Wouldn't this be considered a combination of both postmodernism and remodernism?

• Not as Virilio speaks of it. Perhaps an interesting model would be the computer: as the personal computer is to Postmodernism - the supercomputer is to Hypermodernism (its links with an intensified rationality and the Military Industrial Complex. This all changes when you start to think of the supercomputer in the context of distributed computing projects (BOINC et al.) --Damonzucconi (talk) 20:24, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Postmodernity is meant to describe a condition of total emergence from Modernity and its faith in progress and improvement in empowering the individual.' None of the best known theorists of postmodernity (Lyotard, Derrida, Baudrillard, Jameson etc.) have described it as a break with modernity, but rather as a critical supplement to it. Far from describing an emergence (with its association of shedding something), postmodernity is inextricably bound up with the conditions of modernity.81.144.199.142 (talk) 14:01, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be an idea to provide a section detailing criticisms of this theory? I'm not knowledgeable enough about the subject to do it myself, but was hoping to find one as they commonly appear in similar articles. (139.222.202.198 (talk) 10:31, 6 April 2012 (UTC))[reply]

will someone who knows what they're talking about add a one-sentence gloss on the word "attribute" to the entry in the specific structural definition as it's to be understood here? thx — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eetthhaann (talk • contribs) 08:07, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article is opaque and almost ridiculous. Should we translate the French one? 2804:D59:89DB:3B00:61CD:906A:979A:9A9D (talk) 23:15, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I disagree, it’s not almost ridiculous, it’s completely ridiculous. One question is whether it’s a candidate for deletion due to being complete gibberish. It’s probably worth an entry though since the term “hypermodern” is used for chess and has been used by a French writer, Gilles Lipovetsky I think, in some effort to define whatever comes after post-postmodernism.

Here's a proposal for a simple introduction to this topic. The text was written by ChatGPT.

I don't actively contribute to Wikipedia and I don't think it would be right to directly post this on the page without having someone more knowledageble on the subject review it first, so please, if you can, review and update the article using this if it seems adequate.

Prompt: "Are you familiar with the termins "hypermodernity" or "supermodernity"?"

Reply: "Yes, I am familiar with the terms "hypermodernity" and "supermodernity." These terms are often used to refer to different aspects of the same phenomenon, which is the accelerating pace of change and development in contemporary society.

Hypermodernity is a term that is often used to refer to the rapid pace of technological change and innovation in contemporary society. It is characterized by the increasing interconnectedness and interdependence of different social, economic, and political systems, as well as the growing influence of technology on everyday life.

Supermodernity, on the other hand, is a term that is used to describe the increasing complexity and fragmentation of contemporary society. It is characterized by the proliferation of different cultural, social, and political identities, and the emergence of new forms of social and cultural organization.

Both hypermodernity and supermodernity are seen as responses to the challenges and opportunities of living in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world. They are often studied and discussed in academic and cultural circles, and they are seen as key factors shaping the evolution of contemporary society."

Prompt: "What are some texts that explore these subjects?"

Reply: "There are many texts that explore the subjects of hypermodernity and supermodernity. Some notable examples include:

- The Condition of Postmodernity by David Harvey: This book is a classic study of the postmodern condition, and it explores the impact of globalization, consumer culture, and new technologies on contemporary society.

- The Modern Condition by Jean-François Lyotard: This book is a seminal work of postmodern thought, and it explores the implications of the decline of grand narratives and the rise of pluralism and diversity in contemporary society.

- The Globalized City by Saskia Sassen: This book examines the impact of globalization on urban environments, and it explores the ways in which global processes are transforming the social, economic, and political structures of cities.

- The Network Society by Manuel Castells: This book is a comprehensive study of the rise of the network society, and it examines the ways in which technology and globalization are transforming the social, economic, and political structures of contemporary society.

These texts are just a few examples of the many works that explore the subjects of hypermodernity and supermodernity. There is a rich and diverse body of literature on these subjects, and they continue to be a topic of intense interest and debate in academic and cultural circles."

As an aside: Wouldn't it be appropriate for this article about hypermodernity to be finally rewritten by an AI? It feels hypermodern to me.
