REBEL AGAINST POSTMODERNISM
When I wrote a poem 'post post post' concepting my personnel rebel against postmodernism I
didn't know that similar kind of movements are taking place all
over the world. The poem appeared in first issue of neolittlemagazine 'SAUSHTHAV'(feb 1993).
After an emergence of biosignoverse new changes were taking place in India. Telenets , Internet and other
semiodities starts displacing the importence of commodities. Computer and T V
which were commodities till 1985 got trosformed into semiodity after an
emergence and spread of internet and telenets.
Postmodernism was supporting all kind of fragmentations in
the name of REBEL AGAINST EUROPEON METANARRATIVES OR REBEL AGAINST ALL KIND OF
METANARRATIVES including nativism which was promoting desi fregmentalism
to establish independent identity ( like MARATHI IDENTITY ) and
rebelling against COLONIAL METANARRATIVES assuming that so called NATIVE
CULTURE WAS DOING PERFECT JUSTICE TO ALL MEMBERS OF NATIVE CULTURE. It was
false assumption based on many misreadings about native culture.
A new rebel was necessary at that time and I was waiting for
it . Unfortunately nobody did it and I wrote an article'' CHAUTHI PARAMPARA''
to express my discontent about
post-sixty literature in India . I had written 150 NONTHINGIST POEMS (nirwastuwadi
kavita) at that time against THINGISM IN GERMAN LITERATURE which was expressing
COMMODIFICATION OF GERMAN SOCIETY WITH GREAT ACCURACY. Hindi and marathi poets
were and are following thingism consciously
or unconsciously. So nonthingism was necessary and I was unintentionally
professing it in my nonthingist poems .
We had low budget so naturally smallsize poems became obvious choice. ''post-post-post''
was one of them. Now it's available in my collection of poems titled '' KA.VI.''
