Resumen
A comienzos del milenio, muchos teóricos cuestionaron la supervivencia del posmodernismo y, aunque es cierto que dichas afirmaciones no estaban respaldadas por un consenso general, el nuevo siglo trajo consigo un intenso debate sobre el tema. Con esto en mente, el objetivo de este artículo es trazar la taxonomía de las alternativas al posmodernismo propuestas por varios teóricos durante la primera década del siglo XXI para comprender su naturaleza. Este artículo analiza un extenso corpus de teorías y llega a la conclusión de que este periodo fue un momento intersticial de cambio cuya dirección parecía estar encaminada hacia una muy matizada recuperación del proyecto inacabado de la modernidad, preconizado por Jürgen Habermas. Este intento de deshacerse del relativismo posmoderno se vio frustrado por la insatisfacción social generada por el rescate bancario de 2008 y la ulterior intensificación del neoliberalismo. Después de esos eventos, los intentos de definir el espíritu de la fase cultural que seguiría al posmodernismo comenzaron a disminuir. La deseada recuperación del proyecto inacabado responde a una necesidad de univocidad que lleva durante la década de 2010 a un hiper-neoliberalismo auspiciado por el populismo y construido sobre una especie de posverdad reaccionaria.
