Which of the following is not analyzed in post-modernist research ?
Continuity
Post-modernist research (Lyotard, Derrida, Foucault, Baudrillard) rejects 'grand narratives' and the modernist search for order, progress and unbroken historical continuity. Lyotard defined the postmodern as 'incredulity toward metanarratives'.
It therefore focuses on chaos and disorder, fragmentation of identities and social life, and the gaps and silences in texts and discourses — what is left out or suppressed (Derrida's deconstruction, Foucault's discontinuities).
Continuity, the idea of a coherent, linear and unified story, is exactly what post-modernism deconstructs, so it is not an object of its analysis.
Hence, the answer is Continuity.
