Postmodernity: Are the Baltics There Yet?

How postmodern are the Baltics in general and Lithuania in particular?

What are the evidences that we are actually in postmodernity?

How has being a part of the Soviet Union affected postmodernity in the Baltics and Lithuania? I heard someone say once that the 20th century's experiment with Communism was the pinnacle of the modernity. I would particularly like to hear from those of you who are native to the Baltics on this point.

Are the Baltics going postmodern faster than the US?

Is postmodernity different here than in western Europe or the US? How so?

Can someone tell me what postmodernity looks like in our context?

On a side note, what would you think of getting together on Saturday, February 10th for our first "conversation?" I am flexible on the date. Let me know.
