Abstract
ABSTRACT Participants at the 2010 Edinburgh Missionary Conference were asked to study and discuss postmodernity. In their discussion, three points found wide agreement: the difficulty in defining postmodernity, a view of postmodernity as a Western issue, and a sense that those who hold postmodern views have little hope. The present study suggests that postmodernity is best understood as an epistemological shift. Using the Kony 2012 campaign as a case study, we argue that epistemology is the best way in which to understand postmodernity, that this shift in epistemology is influencing a variety of contexts globally, and that hope can be found in the postmodern paradigm, especially if conceptualized as an epistemology.
