Abstract

ostmodernism and multiculturalism, seldom discussed as if they belong together, might remind us of bickering partners. Each of these contested terms serves as a center of attraction, collects friends, makes enemies, coordinates allies, sets up networks of information. These networks seldom cross. The camps that identify themselves with these positions offer each other only the most cursory nod of recognition. This despite the fact that postmodernism and the multicultural share many affinities: a valuation of marginality, a suspicion of master discourses, a resistance to empty conventions. Maybe part of the problem is that these polysyllabic termspostmodernism and multiculturalism-seem to engender more questions and tensions than answers and resolutions.
