"Given the current quite disunified state of the field..."
I would suggest considering that what you're looking at is not a single yet disunified field, but rather a set of various different fields with little in common, all claiming the same term as the name for their field. I can tell you at least, as an author within what you've called "aesthetic metamodernism," that our large network of authors and researchers do not largely see connections with the other areas that you've discussed in this article (with the exception of Jason Storm's work which does seem to have some important degree of meaningful overlap -- I wrote about this in my own book).
I appreciate that you attempted to map out the differences, but even in doing so, I feel you assumed more connection than there even is.
Thanks, very useful fo readers to have this perspective presented I think. It's basically impossible for a summary piece like this to be 'neutral' between all different perspectives, and for the moment I'm OK being aligned with the view (articulated by Dempsey and others in the non-aesthetic strand) that there are real connections here.
Thanks for laying all this out in a succinct and readable way.

This is a great and helpful summary and survey of the field -- thanks, Jonah.
