NOTE

Pageau: postmodernists took reduction to the limit, which helps in the end

Postmodernists, particularly leftist ones, in the 60s and 70s promoted a narrative of power which led to deep cynicism and disillusionment.

The skepticism and cynicism brought about by postmodernism have inadvertently paved the way for a resurgence in valuing and interpreting narratives in a more meaningful and conscious manner.
