Sun. 8th August: Noël Tointon: A Current Controversy: 
Is There a Contemporary Sea-Change? Does the Last Wave of a
Postmodernist Signal Their Re-Arrival or Their Final Departure? 

Is there a current difference in how ‘cutting-edge’ texts are created and received? Or, is the past merely recycled? In this paper the role of reflexivity in a ‘text’ will be examined to establish that a sea-change in the nature of cutting-edge Contemporary texts has started to take place in a trend that goes beyond the Postmodern. In this exciting exploration of the current cutting-edge boundaries of Contemporary culture we will be collectively testing, through debate, the strength of those new insights as they arise in the reading/re-writing of this paper….
