TLDR
In this article, the authors look at one of the most recurring mechanisms, both formally and conceptually, in Severo Sarduy's poetics: the act of folding, drawing mainly on Gilles Deleuze's The Fold, and find that the Cuban author's predilection for this figure aims to bridge the belligerent dichotomy between modernity and postmodernity that, to a great extend, seems to mediate the perception of contemporary ontoepistemology.

The Anti-Aesthetic : Essays on Postmodern Culture

TL;DR: It is now common knowledge to say that in these eclectic post-modern times it is getting increasingly difficult to tell a radical from a conservative as discussed by the authors, and that the illusion of a single unifying vision of progressive culture has been shattered and in the wake of this cultural fragmentation the nature of authority (and audience) becomes an issue.
