- 2009, James Der Derian, Critical Practices in International Theory: Selected Essays, →ISBN, page 250:
  As the realities of international politics increasingly are generated, mediated, simulated by new digital means of reproduction, as the globalization of new media further confuses actual and virtual forms; as there is not so much a distancing from some original, power-emitting, truth-bearing source as there is an implosion; as meaning is set adrift and then disappears into media black-holes of insignificance, a little po-mo can go a long way.

- 2014, Gemma Files, We Will All Go Down Together, →ISBN:
  Josh got sidetracked somehow onto whether or not “Delia's Gone” is too po-mo to be misogynist, and I went home early.
