Sadly this is probably true

ghostmodernism is one of the greatest things /lit/ has produced, all i know is that i wish to know more

>>11780738
postmodernism will never die
it will lie at the dark underbelly of the world, waiting for the time to strike

where does one start with ghostmodernism?

>>11781778
By killing yourself and becoming a disembodied soul

>>11781778
Celine, Calvino, and Kerouac

>>11781778
Deleuze

>>11781778
By presenting the ethos of the modern age IN TERRIFYING 3D!

Become body without organs

Is Max Stirner a good starting point for ghostmodernism?

>>11781778

With the HORROR OF PHILOSOPHY

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH

>>11781778
Read Plato's Phaedo, on death and the immortality of the soul, which is quite spooky i'd say

>>11782503
if you not horrified by philosophy you goofed

WHAT IS CURRENTLY CALLED BY THE TRANSITORY TERM "METAMODERNISM" IS SOLIDATING GRADUALLY, AND EVENTUALLY WILL EARN ITS PROPER NAME.

SOME TRAITS OF THE NEW PERIOD:

OPTIMISM, RADICALISM, MILLENNIALISM, SINCERITY, UNIVERSALISM, IDEALISM, CIVICALISM, RACIALISM, PERSONALISM.

>>11783356
Expand on this please.

>>11783363

BE MORE SPECIFIC.

>>11780738
How do we define the general aspects of ghostmodernism in regards to past movements? I guess it's a reaction/evolution of postmodernism but what would the base ideas of ghostmodernism be?

>>11783403
How do you think this new zeitgeist is coming about? Could you indicate examples of each of the words you have indicated? How does this differ from previous (failed) attempts at the same thing e.g. New Sincerity? Do you view this as solely literary or philosophical, or does this thought extended to other fields as well (bear in mind that the meaning of postmodern is completely different in each academic subdiscipline). Really I'm asking you to add any substance whatsoever to your post beyond listing a set of adjectives.

>>11782506
Sounds lit. What’s the best edition, my dude?

MY POST IS SUBSTANTIAL AS A RESPONSE TO THE ORIGINAL POST; I DO NOT NEED YOUR QUESTIONS.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING SPECIFIC REGARDING WHAT I MENTIONED, YOU SHOULD MAKE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

>>11783446
Anon, I'd like to remind you that you're talking to a tripfag writing in caps.

>>11783417
maybe it would be something like, what does it mean to be a ghost? ghosts can haunt things, but they don't really change much. they're incorporeal.

it might mean, you can't be other than ironic or prophetic, and no matter what life is going to go on anyways and you're probably going to be misunderstood.

>>11783469
Thank you for reminding me, but I have a habit of trying to bleed any rock dry if I can. You can find good content in unexpected places if you do this, but on the flipside, sometimes you got trash like this: >>11783467

>>11781371
Kek, so does that mean we can call /pol/tards who unironically believe in conspiracy theories “possessed?”

>>11783473
So all people are really just... ghosts

>>11784869
can't have a ghostmodernism thread without derrida

>>11783467

Alright Anonymous you're on the horn, what's your opinion of modern culture

>>11783473
Ghosts are probably not people who are sticking around. Poltergeists and the like are spirits who just fuck around but most ghosts claiming to be people are probably just demons trying to trick you

>>11782193
seems like an odd crowd

>>11781295
>>11781315
>they weren't in the thread

>>11786445
so does ghostmodernism mean an unironic belief in ghosts? if postmodernism is dead and postmodernism = irony, does this mean that we have to unironically believe everything is possible? it sounds like a recipe for drooling stupefaction and i like drooling stupefaction

i need to know these things

>>11786521
so far ghostmodernism sounds like the kind of Higher Stupidity i can really make time for. a total and sincere faith in things so profoundly naive there's no distinction between it and absolute stupidity. a truly stupid modality for living, stupider than you could possibly imagine. the more you know, the stupider you become. and in which the only real philsophical advances are by things being even more massively and spectacularly stupid than the last guy, to the point of a stupidity so breathtaking you have to take a moment to think about it

and if any of this is true than so far there is literally nothing about ghostmodernism i do not like

>>11786548
You're tilting at windmills of your own imagination. Ghostmodernism is not a "thing".

>>11786598
okay, that's good to know

better if it remains a mystery

>>11786602
It's just a cute pun.

>>11786615
ok

>i still want to believe

still going to lurk the thread but i will refrain from speculating

>>11786632
Don't listen to that guy, he's trying to obfuscate the truth. If you go look into a mirror at midnight and chant the phrase "Ghostmodernism" 3 times in slow succession, each repetition louder than the previous, the tortured spirits of frumpy childless jewesses will descend upon you. Hide your wallet and don't eat any pork on the day you attempt the ritual.

is there a manifesto for ghostmodernism? asking for a friend
