Evidence

At the very origin of the term, as we have seen, there was a bifurcation. When De Onis first coined postmodernismo, he contrasted it with ultramodernismo, as two opposite reactions to Hispanic modernism, succeeding each other within a brief space of time. Fifty years later postmodernism has become a general term, whose primary connotations remain close to those indicated by De Onis, but which also visibly exceeds them towards the other pole of his construction. — Perry Anderson, The Origins of Postmodernity, 254
