- what life is like now
- linked to media, film ,communication studies etc…
- memento – complicated and fragmentary set of inter-relationships
- momento – pastiche (detective story), postmodernism does this as a new version so it’s different to similar stories
- preoccupation with visual style
- loss of metanarrative (we don’t know the full story of leonard/momento)
- momento – leonard isn’t able to distinguish fiction form reality
