Answer to Question #141214 in English for Hera Agonin

Question

how do you understand post-modernism?

Answer 1

I best understand post-modernism as the interrogation of values and ideas linked to a form of modernism, which believes in innovation and progress. Modernism emphasizes on a clear cut between popular culture and art. Unlike modernism, post-modernism does not specify any one style of culture or art. It largely embodies pluralism while abandoning conventional notions of authorship and originality in preference for a pastiche styles.
