Intermodernism

The term Intermodernism (abbr Intermo¹) was coined in the early 21st century, and May Be used to describe the current social, political and cultural state, and is seen as a direct critical opposition of postmodernity. Intermodernism does not have an absolute definition, but is, by its very nature, fluid and evolving. It is used by philosophers, social critics and great thinkers to refer to the aspects of society which, rather than fragmenting as the postmodernists would argue, are in fact moving back together into a more cohesive network.

Criticism

Intermodernism, as with any forward-thinking and intellectually-challenging concept, must contend with its fair share of critics. Perhaps the most alluring characteristic of intermodernism is its inherent ability to react against criticism in a unified and, of course, cohesive manner, resulting in a strengthening of common values amongst its most dedicated advocates. The inexorable result of this is that intermodernism consistently and unassailably demonstrates the anti-fragmentary evolution of society.
