Narrative writing mechanisms, by: Umberto Eco

Unfortunately, the word postmodernity applies to everything (and I see postmodernity as proposed by the Americans, that is, as a literary saying. Not the general statement brought by Leotard). I believe that this saying is used by everyone according to their preference. On the other hand, it seems that there is an attempt to apply it to the past; before that, this saying was only applicable to some writers or artists belonging to the last twenty years, but it gradually came to apply to writers from the beginning of the century, and its scope expanded more and more. It is not excluded that Homer could be described as postmodern. I believe that postmodernity is not a trend that can be chronologically defined, but rather a spiritual saying or a way of working. It can be said that each stage and postmodernity has its own, just as each stage has its own creation, even though I wonder if postmodernity is not a modern name for craftsmanship as a meta-historical saying.
