Postmodernism is giving way to its last breath and critical theory has several alternatives to delve into.

The study aimed to give a brief introduction about metamodernism in terms of beginnings and its relation to other movements of the same period.

I then check the group chat I have with my friends for making plans. I’m normally the one now that urges to make plans. This summer I’ve lived a carefree life that’s out …
