Lyotardian thought  

Définition

  • In the late 1970s, Jean-François Lyotard (19241998) was commissioned by the government of Quebec, Canada, to analyze changes in Western knowledge since World War II. In his report, The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge, published in 1979, Lyotard describes the erasure of culture and aesthetics with the incoming technological age, (mis)shaping advanced, industrialized societies, computerizing them and their concept of knowledge. Reality becomes bytes of information, and performativity becomes the legitimation of that reality. [Source: Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies; Lyotardian Thought]
