The article "Post-Post-Black?" unfolds two aspects with which contemporary black artists and academics are confronted: the prevailing racism and stereotypes about the work by black artists and scholars, and the advanced scholarship and artistic practices that try to dispose discourses of identity in order to embrace more universal subjects. Two currently used terms that are applied to describe black artists—post-black and Afropolitan—are discussed from a perspective that questions their universal applicability and raises attention to the heterotemporal aspects of being black. Heterotemporal refers to the synchronicity of being black in the contemporary, which includes ideology, space, time, and history. This history is inescapable because, however advanced the scholarship may become, it has to connect to the context in which it is performed as well as embrace the fact that this paradox of prevailing racism and ignorance is one of the most challenging tasks for future black artists and academics.

This article is a critique of the notion of post-postmodernism. It analyzes the main characteristics of post-postmodernism in relation to postmodernism, from which the latter rises. Also, it establishes a connection among neoliberalism, globalization, and post-postmodernism, as a means to access to the economic and political context that justifies the emergence of such post-postmodern cultural logic. In the same way, it is criticized strongly the role of post-postmodernism as an instrument to reconceptualize humanities and the social sciences in order to intensify consumerism and convert humanities in a mere ideological approach, which legitimates the financial capitalism and the American neo-conservatism. ; Este artículo es una crítica al concepto de post-postmodernismo. En él se analiza las características fundamentales del post-postmodernismo con respecto al postmodernismo, en cuanto este último es el origen del primero. Asimismo, se establece la relación entre neoliberalismo, globalización y post-postmodernismo, como un medio para acceder al contexto económico y político que justifica la emergencia de la lógi- ca cultural post-postmoderna. De igual manera, se critica fuertemente el rol del post-postmodernismo como un instrumento para reconceptualizar las humanidades (y las ciencias sociales), en el marco de la necesidad de intensificar el consumismo y de convertir a las humanidades en una simple aproximación ideológica, que legitima el capitalismo financiero y el neoconservadurismo estadounidense.
