The article advocates a return to an explicitly epochal (binary) approach to literary history, in place of the dominant poststructuralist approach which focuses on the way a plurality of discourses interact in and around literature. In particular, the article attempts to provide specific criteria for delineating the epoch after post-postmodernism, which the author calls “performatism”. The distinguishing features of this new epoch are: 1) double framing (narrative closure); 2) semiotic monism (ostensivity); 3) a separate, dense subject, 4) a set towards transcendence; and 5) the stylization of authorial dominance over the text. The paper defines in detail how these criteria differ from postmodernism and then applies them to the short story Seno by Jan Balabán.
