LITTERATEUR

Editor's Notepad

Beyond!

Litterateur made its launch into a world disarrayed with disasters. True it
is, from the pages of history, every trivial change in the world will find its
replication in literature. Recall the advent of post modernism in the second
half of twentieth century. The World War II brought forward a new thought
about humanity along with a deep sense of pessimism. This marked the
advent of postmodernism when some tried to break away from the ideals
of modernism. But the conflict continued within postmodernism and it
also started to weaken as an intellectual and cultural system.
Postmodernism era characterized by dualist notions ended and a new era
with monist era commenced. Thinkers around the world called it as Meta
modernism. Metamodernism questioned the universality and truthfulness
.

of old modernism and the fragmentation and skepticism of
postmodernism. Meta modernism tried to recreate a sense of wholeness
that allows positive change both locally and globally.Going ahead with
Covid pandemic smash which reformed the borders and re-validated the
oneness of human race, we should foresee that it is time to go beyond
Meta modernism. Discrimination over languages, countries, race, creed,
color or gender has to diminish and borders in all segments of life
redefined.
Yes! A Beyond Meta Modernistic period is evolving!
Literature and Litterateurs have greater role in molding this new
intellectual and cultural environment.
