The \u201cpost\u201d solution has long prevailed, obscuring the fact that \u201cpost-ness\u201d can itself have an \u201cafterward\u201d. But is the present still postmodern?<\/p>\n<p>I am going to propose in this talk that we get over post-ness in the company of another prefix: <em>epi<\/em>\u2014 a prefix of remarkable richness and complexity. <em>Epimodernism<\/em> would thus set up six different relations to the heritage of modernism, by reworking its postmodern critique and rebooting, with all due post-irony, its ambition of new forms of engagement. I will be taking the example, with the Bosnian-French writer Velibor \u010coli\u0107, of what I have called \u201ca Princip Principle\u201d for Literature Today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u2015Emmanuel Bouju<\/p>\n<h5>Program<\/h5>\n<p>14:00-14:10\u3000Introduction (Dr. Risa Matsuo)<\/p>\n<p>14:10-15:40\u3000Lecture (Prof. Emmanuel Bouju)<\/p>\n<p>15:40-15:50\u3000Break<\/p>\n<p>15:50-16:20\u3000Q&amp;A<\/p>\n<p>16:20-16:30\u3000Summary<\/p>\n<h5>Speakers<\/h5>\n<p><strong>Speaker<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sorbonne-nouvelle.fr\/m-bouju-emmanuel-587727.kjsp?RH=1373384997194\">Emmanuel BOUJU<\/a>:\u00a0Professor of Comparative Literature at the Universit\u00e9 Sorbonne Nouvelle, director of the CERC and honorary Senior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France.
