orthodox post-modernism
Does "orthodox post-modernism" imply "initial and conventional post-modernism"?

Context:
Terry Smith has argued that our current vantage point is in many ways beyond orthodox post-modernism; certainly the global crisis precipitated by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 has distanced us in many ways from that earlier cultural moment.

Answer

I would say you could definitely use that interpretation. Usually "orthadox" refers to the traditional way, but a modern definition could be the "normal, or most commonly accepted" way. So I would definitely say that "orthodox post-modernism" would imply "initial and conventional post-modernism".
