Neofuturism
|
|
Unable to find an adequate lens through which to analyze dense alazon and eiron motifs in post-apocalyptic genre, Neofuturism began as an intellectual movement that embraced the non-Freudian elements of Jungian analysis. This approach was primarily useful in conceptualizing the literary aspects of technocracy, technoscience, cyberculture, cybernonculture, and the cyborg paradox. Neofuturism was able to provide greatly needed neologisms and paleologisms to the impoverished field of future studies. An important intellectual divide that occurs within Neofuturists is split between the scholars who wish to discuss capital "F" F/futures versus small "f" futures. The scholars who perceive their discipline to cover capital "F" F/futures are focused primarily on the cultures and cultural issues surrounding the cyborg paradox and cyber/noncyberculture. Small "futures" are preoccupied mainly with the possibility of cypercultural analysis divorced from culture entirely. Naturally, the tautology which ensues as a result of small "f" futures renders adequate deconstruction impossible. As a result, many scholars which began down the path of small "f" futures had to resort to an absurdist revival and began to splinter into fringe groups such as the Neo-postfuturists.
