Global postmodernism presupposes far greater modernization worldwide than modernism did

Evidence

Nonetheless, even this description, which no longer involves any kind of Eurocentrism, posits and presupposes the absolute difference of capitalism itself. What one wants to observe, then, about a global Postmodernism in which differences of that sort are theoretically repudiated is that its own condition of possibility posits the far greater modernization of other segments of the globe than was the case in the modern (or classical imperialist) era. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 819

Categorization

• DEEPTHINKING: This is the theoretical hinge: postmodernism’s repudiation of radical difference is not a style choice but the condition of possibility requiring the whole globe to be more modernized — the perfect test case for the reader’s falsifiability question about the cultural-dominant thesis.
• XREF: Connects to the reader’s core project: style as the economy’s way of appearing. Postmodernism’s theoretical rejection of difference is itself indexical of global capital’s completion.
• QUESTION: If postmodernism’s condition of possibility is worldwide modernization, does that give a concrete test — a threshold of global modernization beyond which the cultural dominant must shift?
