In your context, postmodernism is equivalent to post-structuralism. From p185 of "Beginning Theory" by Peter Barry: The rise of post-structuralism, problematises knowledge, language, truth, etc. . . . The . . . defence against this charge would be that being aware of the in-built uncertainty of all knowledge doesn't mean that we give up trying to establish truths, it simply means that we do so conscious of the dangers and limitations involved, thus giving [our] own intellectual enquiries a special authority. This is rather like sailing into dangerous water knowingly, with all lights blazing. . . . Thus, when [people] claim . . . that [post- structuralism] gives them entry into "a non-truth-oriented form of . . . study of texts" [(Widowson, qtd. in Dollimore 161)] . . . this doesn't mean that they do not believe that what they say is true, but rather that they know the risks and dangers involved in claiming to establish truths. Dollimore, Jonathan and Alan Sinfield, eds. "Political Shakespeare: New Essays in Cultural Materialism," 2nd ed. Manchester: Manchester UP, 1994.
