Postmodern religion dismantles modernist difference just as postmodern culture does.

Evidence

Still, the religious Postmodernisms constitute a rolling-back of the dearly bought and deeply felt modernist sense of social and cultural difference fully as considerable as the social and cultural ones; if “gender,” bourgeois distinction, and Western scientific reasoning are forms of difference which our First World forebears considered to be unique achievements, but which we have inherited with no little disgust and set about dismantling, so also a religious modernism offers the spectacle of a theological hermeneutic of great refinement, endowed with elaborate and supple casuistries, which can have no great appeal in an age that despises hermeneutics as such and has little need for casuistry. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 833

Categorization

• QUESTION: Jameson places gender and Western scientific reasoning on the same level as dismantled modernist ‘differences’ — a provocative lumping worth interrogating for the reader’s own cognitive map.
• XREF: Directly speaks to the reader’s goal of testing whether ‘cultural dominant’ is falsifiable — here religion is folded into the same periodizing frame as aesthetics and politics.
