Please watch this delightful conversation we had with author Tope Folarin about his novel, A Particular Kind of Black Man, and his interest in metamodernism and the arguably MM works of Miranda July and other creators! youtu.be/GxqRCU0X7Ws

People often mistakenly think metamodernism equals whatever ideology they support. Left can be MM, Right can be MM. Moderate, apolitical, anti-political can all be MM. Multi-perspectival can be MM, but MM is not at all inherently multi-perspectival.

This looks like a significant update to Raoul Ehshelman's original Performatism book, which itself was an important neighbor to metamodernism! www.routledge.com/Transcending...

For new Bluesky friends, here's a little self-promo, for my new book. It explores the metamodern sensibility as it's been occurring in the arts and pop culture since 2000-ish. Nicely, I've been hearing that it is both accessible for regular readers and meaningful to academics. amzn.to/4eeuHLN
