So what exactly are the generic conventions of "new sincerity"?

It's not a real thing. Even DFW rarely engaged in unguarded sincerity. I mean, even his most emotionally raw work has an awful lot of contrivance to remind you how much of a genius the sincerely tortured soul writing it is. For all his claims to disengage from the Postmodernists, he worked pretty strictly in their conventions.

Wes Anderson does sincerity better. I'm dead serious, the same types of wacky setups DFW used in his fiction come off much more sincerely in Wes Anderson's film.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 31 02:29:29 2015 No.7053189 How is "new sincerity" different from sincerity Being sincere is a one way thing. Duplicity in any way is not sincerity.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 31 02:49:20 2015 No.7053245 >>7053189 It's new because in the 90s there was no sincerety because people kept using irony. No one said anything about being duplicitous.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 31 03:48:02 2015 No.7053426 >>7053189 Its more of a call back to sincerity that evaporated during the 90s/00s

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 31 03:49:00 2015 No.7053431 >>7053189 it's based on some false, stupid idea that before mass media people ran around all day declaring their true feelings loudly to anyone who would listen and frolicking freely on the summer breeze
