Abstract

In philosophy, art, design, film, and other areas of human endeavor, there is a new movement emerging, which is called metamodernism. In a wide range of ways, metamodernism is conveyed in several ways. The Modernist and Postmodernist movements came before it. They started in the late 18th century and the early 19th century, respectively. Modifications and oscillations in form and way of thought and conduct constitute metamodernism. This dissertation looks at the main ideas of three literary movements—modernism, postmodernism, and metamodernism—and how they relate to each other. Together, these three topics show how critical thinking has changed during important times in the 20th and 21st centuries. The thesis talks about this fairly new term and how it might help usher in a new time in this digital world. This paper aims to explain metamodernism and how it differs from postmodernism, and modernism and show the progression from pre-modern to metamodern thinking and the emergence of metamodernismwith the help of technological inventions, which include virtual reality and non-fungible tokens.
