当《美国幽默研究》构思一个关于近期讽刺的特刊时，我们通过要求撰稿人测试后现代条件作为一个标题的有用性来确定这个主题。这一概念如何界定当代美国喜剧艺术形式的诗学，即利用嘲笑来进行批评并促进社会变革的可能性？无论人们对所谓的当代文化和艺术时代有什么样的区分，除了当代--现代主义、表演主义、超现代主义、自动现代主义、复兴主义、另类现代主义、数字现代主义或元现代主义--后现代状态的概念，让-弗朗索瓦·利奥塔在《后现代状态》中提出的最令人难忘的观点：Rapport Sur Le Savoir（1979）仍然可以作为一种分析策略，不仅可以考虑讽刺艺术的当代场景，但也可能是为了评价自1960年以来美国的讽刺作品，所谓的黑色幽默在20世纪60年代蓬勃发展。2基本术语的纠缠使如何命名被认为将后现代与社会关系和美学关注的当代新时代分开的时刻变得复杂。现代和后现代之间的区别就像任何声称取代后现代的东西一样模糊不清，因为现代主义在许多可能的取代者中仍然存在。
When Studies in American Humor conceived of a special issue on recent satire, we framed the topic by asking contributors to test the usefulness of the postmodern condition as a rubric. How might the concept demarcate a poetics of contemporary American comic art forms that use ridicule to enable critique and promote the possibility of social change? Whatever distinctions might be or are being made about what to call the contemporary cultural and artistic era, beyond simply the contemporary— remodernism, performatism, hypermodernism, automodernism, renewalism, altermodernism, digimodernism, or metamodernism—the idea of a postmodern condition, most memorably offered by Jean-François Lyotard in La Condition Postmoderne: Rapport Sur Le Savoir (1979), can still function as an analytical gambit not just for considering the contemporary scene for the art of satire, but perhaps also for evaluating satirical works produced in the United States since so-called black humor flourished in the 1960s.2 The entanglement of basic terms complicates how to name the moment supposedly separating the postmodern from a new contemporary era of social relations and aesthetic concerns. The distinction between modern and postmodern registers as ambiguously as anything claiming to supplant the postmodern, given the persistence of modernism in many of its would-be supplanters.3 The Quantum Paradox of Truthiness
