Om vi skulle återgå till
Lyotard så menar han vidare:
The postmodern would be that
which, in the modern, puts forward the unpresentable in presentation itself;
that which denies itself the solace of good forms ... A postmodern artist or
writer is in the position of a philosopher: the text he writes, the work he
produces are not in principle governed by preestablished rules, and they cannot
be judged according to a determining judgement, by applying familiar
categories to the text or to the work. --- The artist and the writer, then, are
working without rules in order to formulate the rules of what will have been
done. --- The nine-teenth and twentieth centuries have given us as much
terror as we can take. We have paid a high enough price for the nostalgia of
the whole and the one --- The answer is: Let us wage a war on totality; let us
be witnesses to the unpresentable; let us activate the differences and save the
honor of the name.1
