Our vision

POSTMODERN PROMETHEUS, the name of our magazine, is a harmonious blend of the ageless myth of Prometheus and contemporary influences from literature and cinema. Consider Mary Shelley’s enduring classic, “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus,” published in 1818, where science and the enigma of creation intertwine in a timeless tale. Likewise, ponder “The Post-Modern Prometheus” episode in the iconic “The X-Files” series from 1997, which pays homage to Shelley’s work by skillfully merging science fiction with today’s urban world, highlighting the importance of embracing the other.

Our magazine embodies this fusion, offering insightful movie reviews, dissecting urban culture, and more, all in the spirit of postmodern thinking.

Drawing inspiration from our beloved Jean Baudrillard‘s concept of simulacra, our magazine embraces the idea where reality becomes a copy of a copy, much like what’s explored in Palahniuk’s “Fight Club.” Our mission is to unravel the complex threads that compose the postmodern world, inviting readers to explore this diverse landscape with us.
