:02//11//11: Culture Quake Redux

an introduction to key concepts
in Postmodernism
"Death of the Author" - "Birth of the Reader"
  • No longer is the artist in charge
  • A mix of high and low art, such as in graphic novels (among other post-modern things)
  • Egotistical artists & celebrity artists become common
  • Postmodernism is about the consumer, youth culture and capitalism
  • Irony & parody - "pastiche" - and the lack of 'realities' (see Baudrillard)
