From Modernity to After-Modernity 


What follows was written on 2021-08-15.
 
This series was first published in the form of blog posts over the span of 4 consecutive winters (2013-2014 to 2016-2017). These were a first draft that I formatted into a book series about the transition “From Modernity to After-Modernity”. 
 
The core of my argument is that humanity is entering a transition toward a new societal era.  Once fully formatted I left the material simmering in my subconscious while immersing myself in digital variations of my “Grand Project” paintings. By October 2020 I had realized 10 collections of digital works and felt ready to edit the material of the first volume in this series.

Here follows :
--- a summary about how this series developed in 3 stages 
--- thereafter follows a more thorough presentation of each of these stages.

   Summary     

1. The 1st stage started with blog posts.  (2013-2017)

As mentioned here above I published blog posts over the span of 4 consecutive winters (2013-2014 to 2016-2017). These were a first draft that I formatted into a book series about the transition “From Modernity to After-Modernity” that totaled nearly 2,000 book pages. I was initially tackling a simple question : "What is art ?". But I rapidly found out that to answer that question I had to go back to the origins of art in the paleolithic. Once there I was confronted to the question of its emergence and I found out that this relates to the field of societal evolution. And so I have been engaged in an intellectual adventure of discovery that started in the winter of 2013 
 

2. The 2nd stage = first book customization. (2018)

I customized the whole thing in 3 books :
Book 1 : 2 Volumes
Book 2 : 5 Volumes
Book 3 : 1 Volume. 



3. The 3rd and final stage = final book customization (starting in 2020)

I finally settled on a customization of the material in 5 volumes of approximately 600 pages each with a 6th volume as a 100 page synthesis of the material  in those 5 volumes.

2nd stage = Book structuring



I formatted my series of blog posts "From Modernity to After-Modernity" in book form. After I terminate the editing of the first draft I'll make the books available. But as I mention elsewhere "I’m afraid that editing this massive first draft will take a few more years…"   The images of the book covers are thus only given as illustrations of the subjects they cover.




 Book 1.  Societal evolution 

2 Volumes





Book 2. Theoretical considerations
 
5 volumes










Book 3. Divination
 
1 volume

Blog posts 
Book1
__________

The collection of posts relating to Book 1 was published on the Weebly platform which was cancelled without warning by Weebly. 
I could thus not make it available on this Blogspot platform. The subject, of these posts, forms Volume 1 : The continuum of the Cultural Field.
