This is not a Christian site. However, "Everything Postmodern" will put you in touch with exactly what the title implies. Try their online quiz to determine just how postmodern you are!

http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/pmc/

Postmodern Culture is a leading online magazine dealing with what the title implies. PMC's links will take you on an extended tour of the Web's postmodern neighborhoods.

Stanley Grenz's Primer on Postmodernism is still the gold standard for understanding the philosophical roots of our emerging culture. This is his home page.

http://www.pscw.uva.nl/sociosite/topics/culture.html#POSTMODERN

A mixture of pop and academic-type resources from a sociology database at the University of Amsterdam.

Postmodern Culture's "text based virtual reality facility" has not been updated by 1996, but it's a great window on the pomo influence and its ability to drag everything from heavy-duty scholarship to pop culture irony into the same dialog. "Velcro" indeed!

The University of Colorado at Denver makes this collection of links available. Heavy on postmodern theorists such as Rorty, Derrida, and the others. Looks lite, but check the links and it becomes massive.

The Panic Encyclopedia is a foundational online document for postmodernity. The Encylopedia begins with the "fateful discovery in contemporary physics that ninety percent of the natural universe is missing matter." You can take it form there. PE bills itself as "The Definitive Guide to the Postmodern Scene."

The University of California at Irvine offers this very helpful online "Critical Theory Resource." It includes philosophy, critical theory, and the humanities in general. Also has a feature that permits you to search the University of California Humanities Research Institute Bibliographies. Impressive.

http://www.uiowa.edu/~commstud/resources/culturalStudies.html

The University of Iowa Communication Studies Department makes a large compendium of resources available on issues relating to culture, theory, and postmodernity. Links to online journals. Personal favorite: The Journal of Mundane Behavior. Eclectic and very useful.

http://www.orlando.jp.org/CRB/modbook.html

An eclectic listing of books on postmodernity drawn up with the help of our friends at Amazon.

http://www.virginia.edu/iasc/home.html

Home of the Institute for Advanced Cultural Studies at the University of Virginia. Lots of scholarly material available. "Committed to analysis, not advocacy."

http://www.marist.edu/humanities/english/postmod.html

An outstanding collection of resources on postmodernism maintained by Marist University.

http://virgo.lib.virginia.edu/WebCat/250.prn

A nifty search of the U. of Virginia's library card catalog on "postmodernism."

http://www.orlando.jp.org/CRB/modbook.html

An extensive list of "Books on Modernism/Postmodernism" by the Common Readers Bookshop, with links to Amazon.

http://www.california.com/~rathbone/pmth.htm

Want to check out the influence of postmodernism in our culture? Take a look at this site devoted to "Postmodern Therapies." That's right, psychology without absolute truth.

http://www.postmodernvillage.com/

Postmodern Village is an electronic community devoted to film, poetry, and culture in general. It's "theoretical(ly) fun." Welcome to the land of irony.

http://www.raggedclaws.com/criticalrealism/

Critical Realism is an important epistemology with an international following. The philosophers among us will like this one.

http://www.elsewhere.org/cgi-bin/postmodern/

The Postmodernism Generator is something you need to try. It features faux documents that are as impenetrable as most real postmodern criticism. I wonder if some of the leading cultural journals would accept them for publication? It's all made possible by the Dada Engine an online system for generating random text from recursive grammars.
