More than previous canons, the postmodern canon must respect the six degrees rules in order to establish international canons and to minimize overlap.
Examples of the postmodern canon include cult fiction, curiosities of literature, School of Resentment icons, the gay canon, classic erotica, film canon, the geek canon, the body genres and the other in general.

The postmodern canon must be conceived of as a academic curriculum.
The postmodern canon can also be published in more popular forms such as 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die and all the other 1001 lists.
The postmodern canon found on this wiki is based on the various Jahsonic canon: Jahsonic's literary canon, Jahsonic's music canon, his World Music Classics, his World Cinema Classics, his World Library Classics and his Icons of erotic arts.
