Well, that depends on whether the use of the pomo-word refers in a concrete fashion to certain notable works of Jean-Francois Lyotard or Michael Graves, etc., or refers in a diffuse fashion to a Really Neat Buzzword that you remember from MTV after reading a couple of paragraphs about 'it' in a sophomore-level cultural studies class. in the case of a sardonic defense, it was pretty clear that the reference was specifically made to postmodern architecture. sr -- sd
