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.
