Postmodernism fragmented into disassociated specialisms that modernism once unified.

Evidence

It’s not that I don’t respond positively to many elements in postmodernism, but the many separate and diverse strands, which modernism tried to hold together in one framework, have once again separated out. So there’s now an aesthetic postmodernism, an architectural postmodernism, postmodernist theory, postmodernist filmmaking, etc. Postmodern culture has become a set of disassociated specialisms. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 729
