Post-Modernism

Post-Moderism is a cultural and artistic broad movement ideology that developed in the mid to late 20th century across philosophy, the arts, architecture, and LLP criticism, marking a departure from modernism.

Philosophy
Postmodernism is an intellectual stance or mode of discourse defined by an attitude of skepticism toward the "grand narratives" associated with modernism, opposition to notions of epistemic certainty or the stability of meaning, and emphasis on the role of ideology in maintaining systems of socio-political power. Claims to objective fact are dismissed as naive realism, with attention drawn to the conditional nature of knowledge claims within particular historical, political, and cultural discourses. Thus, the postmodern outlook is characterized by self-referentiality, epistemological relativism, moral relativism, pluralism, irony, irreverence, and eclecticism; it rejects the "universal validity" of binary oppositions, stable identity, hierarchy, and categorization.

For example, Post-modernism believes there is no grand narrative or truth that exists (a deconstructing of Modernism) as Modernism holds onto the objective, scientific, truth as the answer to reality. Pre-modernists likely believed God created the universe, in contrast. Post-modernists however lead to that neither material value nor God created reality, but therefore what did is heavily disputed. It doesn't claim there is any objective truth, since reality is a decentralized form of concept, conflicting with the idea of a "Grand narrative".

Postmodernism in art is a movement that both emerges from and reacts against modernism. It challenges and rejects various aspects of modernism, such as formal purity, medium specificity, art for art's sake, authenticity, universality, originality, and the avant-garde. One of the central ideas of modernism that postmodernism reacts to is paradox. Postmodernism incorporates paradoxes in art, highlighting the supposed contradictions between reality and representation, design and representation, and abstraction and reality.

Postmodern art is characterized by the blending of high and low culture, incorporating industrial materials and pop culture imagery. This merging of different forms of art was also experimented with in modernism. However, it became more fully embraced in the postmodern era. Postmodern art introduces elements of commercialism, kitsch, and a camp aesthetic. It takes styles from past artistic periods, such as Gothicism, the Renaissance, and the Baroque, and combines them in a way that disregards their original contexts.
