Postmodernism views the self as multifaceted, context-dependent, and socially constructed. It rejects the idea of a fixed or essential self, seeing people as having multiple, often contradictory identities that can change over time and depend on context. Postmodernism also emphasizes that the self is shaped by language, discourse, power structures in society, and is a product of social forces and historical context rather than something inherent. It challenges binary oppositions and encourages critical reflection on one's own identities and the narratives that shape them.
