Abstract
As eloquently presented by Mike Featherstone, “to speak of Postmodernity is to suggest an epochal shift or break from Modernity involving the emergence of a new social totality with its own distinct organizing principles” (Featherstone, 1988). Nevertheless, defining Postmodernity without Modernity and vice versa insinuates a historical discontinuation and negates a connection that can be easily witnessed through Modernity’s reappearance via contemporary predicaments or via Modernity’s offspring in the Postmodern age (Raulet and Reinhart, 1984) as well as Postmodernity’s establishment as the mending process of Modernity’s cracks (Bauman, 1988).
