He argues that the displacement, since the 1990s, of grand narratives by ego-based narratives and small narratives has proven inadequate, and that selective adherence, pluralist adaptation, and humanism are more worthy replacements. Relying on evolutionary psychology as much as on Charles Taylor, Kramer argues that no single answer is possible to the book title's question, but that the term "postmodernity"-referring to the era, not to postmodernism- still usefully describes major currents within the contemporary world. 606 $aPostmodernism 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aEthnology 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aPost-Modern Philosophy 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aCultural Studies 615 0$aPostmodernism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aPost-Modern Philosophy. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 676 $a303.4 676 $a303.372 700 $aKramer$b Reinhold$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0961524 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910357851603321 996 $aAre We Postmodern Yet$92179908 997 $aUNINA
