Alan Kirby (writer)

Alan Kirby is the author of The Death of Postmodernism and Beyond and of Digimodernism: How New Technologies Dismantle the Postmodern and Reconfigure Our Culture, a book-length study of the same subject. Along with Nicolas Bourriaud, Gilles Lipovetsky and Raoul Eshelman, he is an analyst of culture in the aftermath of postmodernism. . Kirby believes that postmodernism began to retreat in the late 1990s, and has been superseded as a cultural dominant by what he calls "digimodernism" ("pseudomodernism" in the original article).

Kirby also published "Time for a New 'Ism'?" in the New Statesman on the death of Jean Baudrillard.

He lives and teaches in Oxford.
