Postmodernity: the return of the Baroque?

Quoting from a very interesting paper by Martin Jay,
1988, Scopic regimes of modernity,
in "Visual and Visuality" (ed. Hal Foster),
Seattle, Bay Press, pp. 3-38.

" (... ) if one has to single out the scopic regime that has finally come into its own in our time, it would be the "madness of vision" Buci-Glucksmann* identifies with the baroque. (...) In the postmodern discourse that elevates the sublime to a position of superiority over the beautiful, it is surely the "palimpsest of the unseeable", as Buci-Glucksmann calls baroque vision, that seem most compelling."
(p.19)
