This document discusses theories of modernism and postmodernism and how they relate to media production. It provides context on modernism as a rejection of realism from the 1890s-1960s, noting modern art was self-reflexive. Postmodernism emerged in the 1970s, characterized by blurred genres, fiction/reality, and hyperreality where mediated reality is preferred over real reality. Jean Baudrillard's theory of simulacra and hyperreality is explained, where the real is replaced by simulations until the distinction collapses. Characteristics of postmodern music videos are identified, including bricolage, pastiche, intertextuality, breaking the fourth wall, parody, and homage.

Postmoderninsm Powerpoint
Modernism emerged between the 1890s-1960s as an artistic and social movement that rejected realism in favor of experimental styles. Postmodernism began in the 1970s as a rejection of the distinctions and boundaries that defined modernism, embracing styles like parody, pastiche, and bricolage that blended genres and mixed fiction with reality. Key aspects of postmodernism include intertextuality, questioning binary divides, and emphasizing style over content through techniques like sampling to create a hyperreal version of mediated reality.
Postmodernism
This document discusses modernism and postmodernism in art and culture. It examines how postmodernism emerged in the 1970s as a rejection of modernism's emphasis on realism. Some key characteristics of postmodernism include the breakdown of genres, blurring of fiction and reality, and mixing of high and low cultural references. The document then analyzes Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" music video as an example of postmodern pastiche and intertextuality through its references to classic films like Sunset Boulevard and Vertigo.
Define postmodern media
Postmodern media rejects the conventions and utopian ideals of modernism. It subverts expectations through techniques like pastiche, parody, and manipulating time and narrative. Quentin Tarantino's film Inglorious Basterds exemplifies this through its nonlinear narrative, references to fairy tales, and self-aware deconstruction of genre. Similarly, Drive challenges the morality and endings of fairy tales and Family Guy parodies Star Wars in a self-reflexive way. Postmodern media is defined by its blurring of boundaries, referential style, and emphasis on constructed fiction over reality.
Postmodernism lesson 1
The document provides an overview of a lesson on postmodernism that introduces some of the basic ideas and concepts of postmodernism, including its origins and wider effects. It addresses examining postmodern themes through considering examples from media and pop culture and assessing how postmodernism challenges traditional views of art, culture, and society. The lesson also discusses preparing for an exam on postmodernism by reviewing key terms and previous exam questions.
Postmodern theory and the media
This is a presentation i've done based on postmodern theory and the media. It includes elements which are postmodern and examples of different genres. I've also analysed some film trailers and a timeline.
Post-Modernism Session1
This document discusses postmodernism from three approaches: historical, theoretical, and stylistic. Historically, postmodernism reacted against modernism and its ideas of progress, objectivity, and certainty. Theoretically, key theorists like Lyotard, Baudrillard, and Jameson analyzed postmodernism's rejection of grand narratives, hyperreality, and lack of depth. Stylistically, postmodern texts are characterized by concepts like generic blurring, intertextuality, playfulness, and uncertainty. To determine if a text is postmodern, the document proposes combining all three approaches, focusing on stylistic elements informed by historical and theoretical perspectives.
Modern vs post modern
Modernism dominated art theory as a reaction to changes in Western society from the 1890s to 1945, relating to logical thinking and analyzing texts in depth. Post-modernism began after World War II as a reaction against modernism, denying logical thinking and focusing on subjective experience and hyperreality. It refers broadly to the period following modernity as well as artistic movements that questioned absolute truth, believing the past should not define the present.
Post modernism and TV
This document discusses post-modernism and its relationship with television. It outlines some key aspects of post-modernism, including the rejection of grand narratives, hyperreality, and a focus on surface level meanings over depth. It then examines how television has embraced post-modern concepts by blurring reality and fiction, prioritizing constant entertainment over substance, and promoting pastiche and spectacle. The document also notes that Pakistani television is increasingly demonstrating post-modern influences but could potentially apply its concepts in a healthier manner that does not undermine societal values.

Introduction to postmodernism
Postmodernism emerged in the second half of the 20th century as a rejection of modernism and authority. It is characterized by pastiche, parody, quotation, and self-referentiality, playing with images and ideas rather than adhering to traditional forms. Postmodern works reference and copy other texts to subvert mainstream ideas and question what is considered appropriate or fashionable. They are ironic, playful, and nostalgic, chopping up and rearranging styles and genres to comment on their construction.
High art & low art hybrids
This document discusses high art and low art hybrids in postmodern culture. It defines high art as more cultivated forms like classical music and ballet that are appreciated by small audiences, while low art like comics and films aims to be widely accessible. Postmodern works experiment with blending high and low art forms to create something new. Two examples given are the films Black Swan and Romeo & Juliet, which combine elements of ballet/theater and Shakespeare with popular cinema. The objective is to comment on these hybrids and what they say about contemporary culture.
Introduction to post modernism
Postmodernism is difficult to define but can be understood through three approaches: historical, stylistic, and theoretical. Historically, it emerged as a reaction against modernism and its ideals of progress, reason, and objective truth. Theoretically, thinkers like Lyotard, Baudrillard, and Jameson analyzed postmodernism's rejection of "grand narratives" and emphasis on surface and pastiche over depth. Stylistically, postmodern texts play with conventions, embrace uncertainty, and reference other works through parody and pastiche.
Postmodernism
Postmodernism emerged in the late 20th century as a departure from modernism. It is characterized by skepticism of culture and history and a rejection of the idea that any media or text has greater value than another. Postmodernism reflects society's feelings of alienation and uncertainty about identity. Theorists argue that economic and technological changes, like television and the internet, have led to a "three minute culture" and a society dominated by images and spectacle. Postmodern art is hybrid and samples different styles and levels of culture to blur hierarchies of taste.
Modernism vs post modernism
Modernism began as a rejection of past ideas and cultural norms in the 19th century, driven by new ideas from evolution, psychology, and socialism. Modernism in art covered 1863-1960s and focused on new ideas and using techniques as subject matter over representing subjects. Postmodernism emerged in the 1970s from scrutiny of modernism, questioning its lack of diversity and utopian ideals. Postmodernism embraces irony, appropriation, juxtaposition, and examining bias through deconstruction.
Postmodernism lesson 1
Postmodernism lesson 1 introduces some of the basic ideas and concepts of postmodernism. It begins with defining the roots of the term - post meaning after, modern relating to contemporary styles, and ism denoting a theory or practice. The document then provides some key characteristics of postmodernism, such as its skepticism of culture and emphasis on individual experimentation over traditional forms. Examples are given of postmodern elements in media like references and blurring of genres in Family Guy. Various techniques associated with postmodernism are also outlined, such as pastiche, intertextuality, parody and satire.
Postmodernism
Postmodernism rejects universal truths and values cultural production as constructed through bricolage of available materials. Key postmodern concepts discussed in the document include bricolage, parody, pastiche, intertextuality, hyperreality, and the merging of high and popular culture. Postmodern texts are characterized by mixing genres and styles without concern for hidden meanings, privileging aesthetics over substance. Critics argue that postmodernism lacks analytical rigor and promotes a pessimistic worldview where distinctions between reality and simulation break down.
Postmodernism and Intertextuality
Postmodernism in music videos involves combining elements from different genres and cultures to subvert audience expectations. It emphasizes parody, irony, and fragmentation by bringing together disparate conventions. Intertextuality, a key aspect of postmodernism, refers to references across texts, such as when a music video references or slightly modifies elements from another original work, like Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance.
Postmodernism
The document discusses key concepts and characteristics of postmodernism including:
- Fragmented and shifting identities defined by consumption rather than background.
- Borrowing of images and elements from different cultures through increased globalization and media.
- Simulacra and hyperreality where the representation or simulation of reality becomes indistinguishable from reality itself.
- Intertextuality and pastiche where new works reference and combine elements from other works and genres.
Postmodernism
Postmodernism emerged in the late 20th century as a departure from modernism in the arts, characterized by the mixing of different styles and genres, self-referentiality, and skepticism of absolute truths. Postmodern works blur fiction and reality, use appropriation and pastiche, and bring together high and low cultural forms. In film, postmodernism subverts narrative conventions and challenges notions of genre, time, and social divisions through works like Pulp Fiction that combine styles from different eras.
Postmodern theory
Postmodern films disrupt traditional narrative structures and character development in order to undermine the audience's suspension of disbelief. They do not pretend to be wholly real and may include characters that break the fourth wall. Postmodern films often use circular rather than linear narratives with ambiguous endings. They frequently feature disconnected characters who distrust authority figures. Some examples of postmodern genres discussed include pastiche, narratives involving flattened affect, hyperreality, time bending, altered states, and narratives questioning humanity. The film Fight Club is analyzed as an example of a postmodern film featuring a disconnected protagonist and circular narrative that subverts expectations.
Post modernism
The document provides an overview of post-modernism, describing its characteristics, influences in various media such as architecture, art, music, television and movies. Some key aspects of post-modernism discussed are a questioning of truth and reality, mixing of styles and genres, and self-referential works that examine and play with conventions of media. Specific examples across different artistic domains are given to illustrate post-modernist trends and techniques.
Postmodernism & fc
The document discusses postmodernism as a critical approach to film. It defines postmodernism as a response to modernism that rejects realism and incorporates elements from the past in new forms. In film, postmodernism disrupts narrative structure and character conventions. Some key features of postmodern films include acknowledging they are fictional works, using nonlinear narratives, and featuring alienated characters. Genres like pastiche, depictions of flattened affect, and altered states are common. Fight Club is analyzed as an example of a postmodern film through its characterization of the protagonist and circular narrative structure. The Matrix is also discussed as a postmodern case study through its references to philosophical works and challenging of filmmaking conventions.
Parody in Art
Parody is a work created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work through humorous or satirical imitation. Parodies can be found in art and culture, including literature, music, and film. In visual art, parodies often employ recognizable works that are modified. Ron English is an American artist known for exploring popular imagery and advertising through parody, using techniques like mashups of cultural references and trompe l'oeil to create political and social commentary.

Pomo: Parody and Pastiche
This document discusses parody and pastiche as examples of intertextuality, which is defined as understanding a work's meaning through references to other texts. Parody aims to imitate another style or work for comic or ridiculing effect, while pastiche borrows elements as a form of flattery without intent to deceive. Linda Hutcheon sees value in postmodern uses of parody and pastiche as offering political critique and historical awareness, while Frederic Jameson views pastiche in particular as "blank parody" without political meaning. The document provides examples of intertextuality and asks questions about parody versus pastiche and their popularity and dependence on audience understanding.
Postmodernism
Postmodernism is a term applied to various artistic and intellectual disciplines that departed from modernism's utopian visions of clarity and simplicity. Postmodernism rejected modernism's passion for all things new and was associated with philosophical movements like deconstruction that questioned objective notions of truth. As a movement in architecture, postmodernism rejected the avant-garde ideals of modernism. Postmodern art and literature employed techniques like parody, pastiche, and intertextuality that referenced and commented on previous works through self-reflexive means.
Powerpoint(post modernism)
The Post-Modernism era came after World War II and the end of the Modern era, though there is no definitive start or end date. Post-Modernism rejected the idea of absolute truth and objectivity that defined Modernism. Post-Modern art, architecture, painting, and photography emphasized diversity, hidden meanings, and rejecting norms rather than focusing on one objective perspective or meaning. Key aspects included questioning assumptions, emphasizing personal journeys over logic, and avoiding strict adherence to rules or traditions.
Week 10 in jeopardy idealism, authenticity, universality and the avant-garde
The document discusses the legacy of modernism and modernity in art and architecture. It explores how modernist ideals of universality and utopian visions failed or were co-opted by commercial interests. Contemporary artists are now revisiting and critically reflecting on modernism in an attempt to both reanimate its radical possibilities and mourn what was lost. Examples are given of artists investigating themes of consensus, collapse, and the ruins left behind by once utopian modernist projects. The influence of modernist aesthetics and ideology are also examined in relation to how they still shape our world today.

Postmodernism
Postmodernism questions whether previous ways of understanding the world like realism and modernism still apply. It challenges the distinction between high and low culture by elevating everyday items to art. Postmodernism also questions the idea of grand narratives and universal truths in areas like politics, religion, and science. Postmodern thinkers like Baudrillard argue we now live in a world of simulations and hyperreality where the real is obscured and all that is left is pastiche imitation of styles from the past.
Postmodernism.pptx
As with structuralism and post-structuralism, there is a great deal of debate about how exactly modernism and postmodernism differ. The two concepts are of different vintage, 'Modernism' being a long-standing category which is of crucial importance in the understanding of twentieth-century culture, whereas the term 'postmodernism', as is well known, has only become current since the 1980s. 'Modernism' is the name given to the movement which dominated the arts and culture of the first half of the twentieth century.

Postmodernism and Music vids
This document discusses postmodernism in music videos. It explores several postmodern factors that are common in music videos, including irony, intertextuality, pastiche, different perspectives, and cultural flattening. It examines theories of postmodernism from Baudrillard on hyperreality, Lyotard on rejecting grand narratives, and Kramer on postmodern music challenging boundaries. As an example, the video for Fat Boy Slim's "Praise You" is discussed as embracing contradictions and eclecticism through its sampling, covert filming style, and mixing of electronic sounds and lyrics from different styles.
Postmodern Theory
Postmodernism allows creators to challenge conventions and interpret their art in innovative ways. It encourages non-linear narratives and drawing from various sources and genres through techniques like intertextuality, pastiche, and bricolage. Theorists like Lyotard, Jameson, and Baudrillard analyzed different aspects of postmodernism, with Lyotard focusing on metanarratives, Jameson on intertextuality and pastiche, and Baudrillard on the concept of hyperreality.
Postmodernism
Postmodernism emerged in the late 20th century as a departure from modernism in the arts, characterized by mixing styles and genres, self-referentiality, and skepticism of absolute truths. Postmodern works blur fiction and reality, value subjective taste over objective quality, and mediate reality through interpretation rather than direct experience. Postmodern art uses techniques like appropriation, juxtaposition, and deconstruction to combine high and low cultural forms and subvert conventions. For example, the film Pulp Fiction employs nonlinear storytelling and mixes genres to bring together elements from different eras.
Postmodernism
Before the 1960s, an era of realism was rejected in favor of reinventing outdated culture in films, novels, and art to better reflect society, represented by movements like avant-garde and surrealism. Starting in the 1970s, postmodernism emerged and blurred genre, style, and binary divides, mixing narrative styles and emphasizing style over content. Postmodernism also blurred fiction and reality, making mediated reality more familiar than reality itself. Key aspects of postmodernism include intertextuality, parody, pastiche, bricollage, and homage.
Post Modernism
Postmodernism is difficult to define as it appears across many disciplines like art, music, literature, and more. Jean Baudrillard's concept of hyperreality suggests that in a postmodern world, the distinction between simulations and reality is blurred, as simulations become indistinguishable from what they are simulating. Key postmodern art movements from the 1960s onward include Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and later Neo-Conceptualism. Postmodern artists often play with styles, aesthetics, and pastiche from different eras while questioning notions of originality and reality in a digital age.

Postmodernism emerged in the late 20th century as a departure from modernism in various art forms and fields of criticism. It rejects totalizing theories and master narratives, and is characterized by self-conscious use of earlier styles and conventions. Key concepts of postmodernism include intertextuality, metafiction, pastiche, irony, and hyperreality. Postmodern works feature narrative fragmentation, playfulness with form, and a blurring of the line between high and popular culture.

Here is a short paragraph explaining synergy:
Synergy refers to the way that different elements of a media company work together to promote related products across multiple platforms. When a film is released, the studio aims to capitalize on synergy by promoting things like the soundtrack, video game, theme park experiences, and merchandise that are tied to the film franchise. Each distinct product is meant to promote the others through cross-promotion, creating an interconnected web. This allows the media company to maximize profits from a successful property by expanding it across different business divisions and media.
