I added the 'unreferenced' tag at the top of the article. I did this because the body of the article doesn't cite any sources.
I'm not sure if this was the best response, because the article does have an 'external links' section, which is good.
I followed the links in the 'external links' section because I was trying to understand where the views in the article came from. The thing that bothered me is that, of the links that worked, each author seemed to mean something quite different by the term 'transmodernism'. Since the article doesn't show where the different views in the body text come from directly, these differences are obscured, and the body text comes to read much more like a dictionary definition than an encyclopedia entry.

Fixed the link to the "Transmodernism, Marxism, and Social Change: Some Implications for Teacher Education" article in the 'external links' section. And forgot to describe the change, sorry. I'm new.

Wikified the word 'transmodernity' at the top of the 'features' section. The 'transmodernity' article is a stub. Spoonriver 08:02, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Added a link to the wikipedia article 'transmodernity' in the 'see also' section. Spoonriver 08:02, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Picture removed edit
This article formerly included a picture of 30 St Mary Axe ('The Gherkin'). It isn't mentioned at all in the article, and the caption didn't refer to it, so I've removed it, unless anyone has any citations describing it as an example of 'transmodernism'. Robofish (talk) 16:53, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
unverifiable, lack of citations, contradictory and circular information edit
The entry is unverifiable, suffering from lack of citations.
removed hotlink to "essays" in first paragraph. Needs citation.
Claim of transmodernism as a "movement" not cited. Violates neutral point of view.
On the Wikipedia page for Enrique Dussel, the term transmodernism is not used. The closest mention to transmodernism is a statement without citation that Dussel prefers the term "transmodernity" to postmodernity. On the Transmodernism page, however, where he is called the founder of the "movement" a different meaning of transmodern is suggested, where Transmodernism is described as “a development in thought following the periodisation of postmodernism; as a movement, it also develops from modernism, and, in turn, critiques modernity and postmodernity." This incogruity is compounded in a sense, when one goes to the Transmodernity page, where Dussel is mentioned secondarily, but again without citation or clear association. If the term transmodernism is in fact central to Dussel, evidence is not given. His involvement and the existence of any "movement" is therefore unclear at best.TopoiTroy (talk) 18:06, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
