In What Is Postmodern Biblical Criticism?, A.K.M. Adam lays out some very helpful (and readable) content on postmodern hermeneutics. For instance, in Chapter One, he uses a three-part typology from Cornel West to explain postmodernism:
Antifoundational: PM “resolutely refuses to posit any one premise as the privileged and unassailable starting point for establishing claims to truth.”
Antitotalizing: PM “suspects that any theory that claims to account for everything is suppressing counterexamples, or is applying warped criteria so that it can include recalcitrant cases.
Demystifying: PM “attends to claims that certain assumptions are ‘natural’ and tries to show that these are in fact ideological projections.”
I am most interested in the new “Disseminary” that he promotes on his blog. Do you think they give tenure?
