Postmodernism is interpellation across and outside discursive bounds fixed by Enlightenment Era thought.

A prank that went way too far.

>>8121707
isn't that what they called modernism?

>>8121691
postmodernism is the abandonment of the possibility of truth, of personal acheivement, and of practically all history due to its inherent unreliability

tough to define though, really. You just have to sortof study it. It's like defining art.

All I can say about post-modern literature is that it hasn't produced anything worth reading.

Put simply, postmodernism signals the end of meta-narrative. This is to say, there is no point of reference for truth. Look to Romanticism, emphasising what is natural is truth. Anyone who disagrees with Lyotard is either a pleb hipster fuckstick or doesn't understand it well enough.

Sounds like Hollywood to me.

postmodernism=globalization/unification of logic structures via mass media and the media that resulted from this implosion/explosion/rupture

Basically to qestion and attempt to go beyond standard forms in art, to give more credence towards lived realities, or the subjective experience of life, which means empiricism is inherently lacking a key component of the truth.

Not sure if this is totally accurate because it has a lot of overlap with phenomology,though it might have given rise to postmodernism. Feminism for example draw heavily from that tradition.

In many ways post modernism has given us a wealth of new artistic forms, and persoectived on life, while showing us that certain dogmas aren't as solid as we imagined in the past.
