Postmodernism is a movement that focuses on the reality of the individual, denies statements that claim to be true for all people and is often expressed in a pared-down style in arts, literature and culture. An example of a thought of postmodernismis the idea that not all people would see stealing as negative.
- Pastiche – a pastiche is work that imitates other works but in a positive way.
- Bricolage – collection of works from a diverse range of things.
- Intertextuality – the relationship/connection between different texts and the influence of some texts to other texts.
- Implosion – the sudden collapse of something inwards/ a sudden failure.
- cultural appropriation – the adoption of an element or elements of one culture by members of another culture. This can be controversial when members of a dominant culture appropriate from disadvantaged minority cultures.
Thanks Lucie, perhaps I should have asked everyone for a brief definition of Postmodernism very helpful. Hope all is going well.
