Postmodernism
This one is a little harder to define simply, so i've collected a few pieces of information that i think best sum up the concept.
- It is used as a way of grouping and describing the styles of thought and culture attracting most critical attention during the final few decades of the twentieth century.
- Postmodernism offers a different way of both constructing and deconstructing ideas.
- Postmodern texts deliberately play with meaning.
- It resists and obscures the sense of modernism.
- It implies a complete knowledge of the modern which has been surpassed by a new age.
