- Authors
Karthauser, Kyle
- Abstract
The article discusses the awkwardness of being earnest as well as the implications and generation of awkwardness. It states that earnestness and awkwardness are contingencies of postmodernism in the context of sociocultural moment and that they are identified by performatism and generative anthropology. It also states that earnestness is a mild expression and that it may turn awkward as it creates intensity and social breakdown.
