Postmodernism Definition

Postmodernism

 

Postmodern media rejects the idea that any media product or text is of any greater value than another. All judgements of value are merely taste.

Anything can be art, anything can deserve to reach an audience, and culture as there is no longer anything new to produce or distribute.

The distinction between media and reality has collapsed, and we now live in a ‘reality’ defined by images and representations.

All ideas of the ‘truth’ are just competing claims or discourses and what we believe to be the truth at any point is merely the ‘winning’ discourse.

Postmodernism is said to reflect modern society’s feelings of alienation, insecurity and uncertainties concerning identity, history, progress and truth, and the break-up of those tradition like religion, the family or the lesser extent, class, which helped identify and shape who we are and our place in the world
