What is postmodernism?

A label used to sell bullshit

It's what came after modernism

All points of view are valid.

So if you say that you arrived at a different truth than science man via your hallucinatory drug trip, you're both on equal footing.

Check David Harley's "The Condition of Postmodernity" for some good introduction

i don't know but i hate it because it obscures the nipples, best part of swimwear.

Modernism was a movement in architecture that rejected Beaux Arts classicism in favor of un-ornamented buildings in steel, glass and concrete. Because Hitler and the Nazi's were classists, Modernism was a repudiation of their architecture. Unfortunately, modernist buildings are mostly boring and ugly. The post-modernists have once again begun to adapt some or the classical repertoire and even some ornamentation. They still look like shit, but are a lot better than the original modernist structures. See "From Bauhaus to Our House" by Tom Wolfe.

hmm not really, no
first point is wrong
postmodernity = global is wrong

also, when Marx was talking about Entfremdung, postmodernism would rather talk about a loss of identity/change in time-space relation

Modernity -> Enlightenment
Postmodernity mostly lost faith in Enlightenment (WWI and II etc.), but tbh postmodernity is made up of countless contradictions

umad?

It's what happened when we faced the fact that we can no longer change the world, so we instead began deconstructing our ways of understanding the world.

This user is correct. It has little to do with philosophy and lots to do with middle 20c architecture where the term was coined.

It may have been stolen by hipster faggots because it sounds tres-cool.. but whatever.

/thread
it's just kike bullshit

that girl is sexy af

>implying it needed to be xrayed at all

This seems off, since modernism was itself about a sense of rupture and fragmentation (see Eliot, The Waste Land, etc.).

wrong
Yes, it is an architectural term of art, but it is also a set of philosophical premises articulated by figures like Derrida, Foucault, DeMan, Butler, et al.

you are a bad meme.

Weird for the sake of weird

which was all well and good until it wasn't weird anymore because it had been done and then it was trite and now it is oppressive

It's the bit after modernism.

Seriously. 'Modernism' is the period between the Victorian era and WW2. That's it. Some people appropriated the term to represent 'avant-garde art', but the actual definition is just a time frame.

They were all late 20c. Modernism / post modern architecture came first

just stating accepted opinions on postmodernism

Lets just completely ignore modern and post modern art. ie the only art people know or care about

At least you acknowledge being dumb user!

The concept that everything is art and that it has value no matter how simple it is.

Living in the 21st century is ridicilously easy and terribly difficult for the same reason:
we live in a postmodern society. This means that history has ceased to excist, all of the "great stories" are permanently in the past and the world has all in all become impossible to control, but also to change the situation to anything different.
This is of course both a good and a bad thing. Thinking about the depressive state of our world can cause you anxiety but it can also sooth you with a feeling 'there's not a damn thing I can do about any of this, so why do I worry' - which leads you to enjoy your time here without a sense of guilt.

Boy, the way Glenn Miller played. Song that made the Hit Parade. Guys like us, we had it made.

Those were the days.
And you knew who you were then. Girls were girls and men were men. Mister, we could use a man like Hoibert Hoover again.

Didn't need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight. Gee, our old La Salle ran great!
