The postmodern combination’s effect depends on radical register separation in our minds.

Evidence

Those are, however, the cultural and ideological effects of the structure, whose conditions of possibility lie very precisely in our sense that each of the elements involved, and thus incongruously combined, belong to radically distinct and different registers: architecture and socialism, romantic art and the history of technology, politics and the imitation of antiquity. Even if these registers do oddly and dialectically coincide, as in the matter of urbanism, in which “Schinkel” is fully as much an encyclopedia entry as Engels’s book on Manchester, our preconscious minds refuse to make or acknowledge the link, as those these cards came from different files. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 791
