Postmopolitan Mag + the end of capitalist postmodernism

Being advertising the official art of late capitalism, Art has found its location in the academic arena. Which makes the academia a sort of museum of non capitalist art. The process of exploring different social dynamics than capitalism has not yet stopped therefore outside of it there is still the chance for art to produce new meanings that can define postmodernity. The collage can serve different objectives than to sell commodities. This being said while taking collage as a postmodern mechanism of composition. Collage and Montage replace painting and cinema while music finds its way through modernism and postmodernism due to a mysterious quality that will not be discussed here. Hidden inside of the musical market of the last 30 years, poetry arises and can be used to make a list of the "stations" a train of postmodernity travels through in an imaginary route that is proposed below. This is an exercise of freedom:

-Posmodernism within class domination
-Posmodernity as a time period
-Posmodernity and the tower of Babel
-The body
-Poetry
-Language
-Knowledge
-Institutions
-Determinism
-Polytheist
-Materialism
-Otherness
-Feminism
-Peace
-Moral
-Heterotopia (Foucault)
-Character
-The New
-Construction of meaning
-Medium and Message
-Solidarity vs. Competitiveness
-Collage – Derrida – Montage
-Unstable
-Cultural artefacts
-Happening
-Raw
-Author
-“the authors of posmodernity”
-Picasso
-We should not even try to engage in some global project
-Action
-Decision
-Justice
-Relativism
-Psychological
-System
-The bomb and madness after that schizophrenia Lacan
-Pragmatism
-Our society produces schizos
-Motif
-Canon
-television
-late capitalism
-car
-inflation
-diversity
-indifference
-cultural logic of late capitalism

End

PD: there is a particular interest in the chance of "naming" these "stations" as the particular method of this exercise to avoid the modernist production of "un-namable" mass produced copies.
