Posmodernism studies
One of the main traditional characteristics of Hernández asumption of posmodernism and positioning is defined by contraining posmodernism to a theory on how an author compose his work including of course his own compositions as author and how the author solves or deliver throught his ways of composing the relation between language, subjectivity and culture.
However more recently as a continuation of his angle Hernández is sostaining that at the end it is a matter of method and that a posmodern work might be identify too not only by how the author compose it but how the research methodology or a research methodology is being conducted under it and in that sense Hernández conceived and composed his book the world correlate proposing a whole approach from disciplinary semiótic theory (developing his own theory on the posibilities of the interpretants from peirce theory of signs, to methodology of research/ Charles Sanders peirce sciences of semiotic), encresing the potencial of semiosis, retheorizing structure as well as a theoretical lingüístic classical análysis to reconsider the chaings of language in between inside and outside language, a classical philosophy phenomenology on that relation and thus an asumption to the exgesis of the texts of culture in a posmodern sense
Doing a certain historicity on the evolutión of how Hernández have approached posmodernism in several periods of his intelectual trajectory.
during 1985 Hernández defined as posmodern his choice to do a deeper research from his perspective in very high culture on the lógic, styles and procedures of non high aesthetics spetially deeperly studing the visual culture of the socalled popular, folk, naive even by somes considered primitive art
during 1989 Hernández lectured his conference posmodernism at the great teather of havana, during 1994 he lectured a seminar of one year at the ateneo of Caracas on posmodernism, conceptualist and abstraction in xx century, such same year hernandez written his essay the posmodern work later discussed as conference at the fondren library at rice university, Houston, texas 1996
a few months after the writing of such essay he discussed a six months seminar on interdisciplinary issues of museum theory, Curatorial practice, art criticism and anthropology understanding anthropology in his own posmodern sense which Hernández have declared as positioned similarly or even as the same position regarding posmodernism than the one discussed by Stephen a Tyler in his paper posmodern ethnography.
During 1997 within a philosophical dialogue letter exchange between Hernández and Tyler at rice university anthropology abdel declared Stephen posmodern ethnography as an unexplored island or archipielago of an epistemologically diferrentiated way to understand it far and diferent to another often anthropologists asumptions, meanings and implications of naming posmodern, Hernández positioned himself with Stephen and proposed ways to develop it.
