Resumen
In 1992, Omar Calabresse identified a list of common features of what he called the Neo-Baroque, which he described as the shared perspective of cultural phenomena signaling the taste and spirit of an age. At that time, however, the aesthetic and critical landscape was about to change into the new aesthetic and critical trends and shapes that mark the taste and spirit of the early twentieth century. While the ontological expression of this historical period is dominated by posthumanism, its aesthetic proposal has been tentatively labelled as post-postmodernism. In this chapter, I outline an intimation of Phenomenalogy, or quantum criticism as a critical posthumanist approach to literary analysis that is methodologically characterized by ideological and discursive situatedness and accountability, and which can serve as an alternative to postfactual antiscientism. Within this critical frame, I also sketch the main features of Neo-Apollonian aesthetics as a response to and development of the humanist model of the Neo-Baroque in the twenty-first century.
