Postmodernism

One would take it that "post" represents the "after of" And modern to be what we would say is of "the now" or up to date. But is that what postmodernism is? Is the end of an era the point in which we meet postmodern? Is modernism imposed upon us? Constantly thrusting us away from our origins and natural way of being? So how modern are we? Are we modern because we have internet access and can download unlimited mp3s and watch movies for free? Or are we postmodern by doing those very same things?

Whilst researching this wonderful gut-wrenching topic, I found a great video giving a basic idea of processing to the concept of postmodernism:



This theory can be brought into many forms such as Art, Film & Television, Religion & Politics even through well made marketing schemes. No thing is really what it is. What it is, is what we term it to be at the time ,so that you and I can establish a relationship, towards building something else that we have learnt from a modern world, in which we now live. Postmodernism will always eat itself in the way of contradition. It will constantly challenge the absolute and consistantly push the boundaries on fact.
