Postmodernism

INTRO

  • In pre-modernism it was not uncommon to have never encountered someone who had differing beliefs or looks
  • In postmodernism different is embraced
  • Everything now is sort of mixed together
  • artists--> not afraid to take a risk
  • Realism--> bourgeois, historical novel
  • Modernism--> dissatisfaction with the world
  • Postmodernism--> dislocation and fragmentation of language communities
    • blur of reality
JEAN BAUDRILLARD
  • Disney allows you to simulate life
  • Shows you what really draws people in
  • Disneyland conceals the real America
  • False reality
Frederic Jameson
  • changes in composition is more evident 
  • shoes--> status of the world
  • Symbolic or raw material
