Postmodernism

Postmodernism is a complicated term, or set of ideas, one that has only emerged as an area of academic study fairly recently, or at least post 1968. Postmodernism is hard to define, because it is a concept that appears in a wide variety of disciplines or areas of study, including art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, communications, fashion, and technology. The first movement in Postmodernism was in architecture.

In my opinion, postmodernism is a form of rejection. As far as I understand, it is a rejected passion for the new. Artists, authors, architects etc… strive to create something different, something new, perhaps to create a market niche. I believe that postmodernism is a paradox of what is old and what is new, juxtaposed together to create a new concept.

“For every feature you select for examination, another one bearing on the question can be offered with equal aplomb, even though it may point in an entirely different and even contrary direction. Earnest examinations of the fit between theory and reality are met with an ironic smile. Contradiction and circularity, far from being regarded as faults in logic, are in some versions of post-modern theory a


“A person’s life consists of a collection of events, the last of which could also change the meaning of the whole, not because it counts more than the previous ones but because once they are included in a life, events are arranged in an order that is not chronological but, rather, corresponds to an inner architecture”

“William Weaver”
