According to Nigerian art historian Moyo Okediji, the metamodern is an extension of and challenge to modernism and postmodernism.

Building on this premise, Jason A. Josephson Storm's recent work, Metemodernism. The Future of Theory (2021), proposes a new systemic model to think about the future of theory in the Humanities and Social Sciences. According to Storm's work, the metamodern should not be conceived as a new periodization, or as a new cultural episteme, but as a new academic model or paradigm that extends and challenges the modern-postmodern paradigm.

The purpose of this seminar is to discuss in depth the recent work of Jason A. Josephson Storm and to explore the possibilities of this new paradigm in the Literary Studies in particular, but also in the Humanities and Social Sciences in general.

Scholars interested in this new model would reflect during three seminar sessions, and from an interdisciplinary perspective, on possible paths in their respective academic fields.
