Postmodernism terms (and some questions about postmodernism)
Postmodern: Something that comes after modern. Can be used to describe the state of society we currently live in
High Modernism: A form of modernity, confident in technology and science as a means of reordering the social and natural world
Capitalist: A system where trade and industry are privately owned, rather than being owned by the state (i.e communism)
Superabundance: a surplus of something, i.e food
Disconnected: Not having a connection to something, i.e reality
Pop: or Popular. Something that is liked by a group or all
Fragmentary: Consists of small disconnected or incomplete parts
Eclectic: Where you derive ideas, style or taste from a diverse range of sources
Nostalgia: The feeling of sentimentality to a time in the past, typically a happy moment
Simulacra: A representation of someone or something
Superficiality: Lack of thoroughness or serious thought
Flippant: Lack of respectful or serious attitude
Depthless: Something so deep it cannot be measured
Fabulation: .Novels that in the style of magical realism and do not follow the traditional sense of realism
Pastiche: Imitating a style of an artist or work
Bricolage: something constructed or created from a diverse range of sources
Aleatory: depending on the throw of a dice or on chance; random
Also I have a couple questions, What comes after postmodernism? Is postmodernism the final way of critiquing society and culture or will something else come along with a new way?
