Jean-François Lyotard

“Simplifying to the extreme, I define postmodern as incredulity toward metanarratives.”

“The postmodern condition is the state of our culture following the transformations which, since the end of the nineteenth century, have altered the game rules for science, literature, and the arts.”

“Eclecticism is the degree zero of contemporary general culture: one listens to reggae, watches a western, eats McDonald's food for lunch and local cuisine for dinner, wears Paris perfume in Tokyo and 'retro' clothes in Hong Kong.”
