“Everything is beautiful. Pop is everything.”- One of Any Warhol’s famous quotes rightly explains the rage with which Pop Art had taken over the world. The pop art movement, started in the mid-1950s has redefined the visuals of art and given it a whole new dimension. Following the abstract art popularity, pop art emerged as a complete contrast to the former.

Nature Religion
Characteristics > national styles in this century.
Breakdown of tradition in relief.
Important: discontinuity. Example (Wasteland)
Estrangement (or alienation)
Permitivism (lots of painters/musicians thought humanities could be recreated/rejuvenated/refreshed by going back to primitive, psychological instincts) Freud.
Unconscious (World of surrealism) example (Dali, De Chirico)
Anxiety & Paranoia is experienced Juxtaposition.
Movies are like a unify of art. Made possible by science & technology. A lot of people don’t read novels or watch art exhibits, but do go to movies. Film is an important of popular form of humanities.
So much of the groundwork was laid for the humanities, literature and painting. Most creative time in history. 1914-1918 WWl. Killing was made possible in WW1 thanks to science and technology. A big shock. A big impact that the world was falling apart that convinced people to disbelief in traditional religion values. In the 1920 was all into experimentation. “Shocking” people. Things became more realistic, facing crisis such as starvation and unemployment. Writers became more socially conscious about economic and social events (1900-1930s), even painters but in paints. Famous writers (Stravinsky) and painters came to America after WWll to avoid the fragile europe. This became a shift in humanities from Europe to America. European literature, composition, painters has always been dominant and uncomparable with America.
Abstract Expressionism. (1950-1960) Jackson Pollock. Pollock made Americana pictures are pictures looking alike. Another famous artist named Norman Rockwell represented Americana (Typical American Lifestyle… city council meeting…baseball…family gathering) His pictures would be posted in magazine covers called Saturday Evening Post. The other side of the American experience was not so brightening. Unwelcoming African American people, one particular example is throwing rotten tomatoes and writing “nigger” on walls at the school kids. A conservative man with a hat (if you look at pics, everyone wore hat) only in the 1960 men stopped wearing hats. This picture represents a contrast between an old and a new. One of the most important pics in American art history (The Connociour) “Overall painting” is.. “Blue Poles” is represents a contrast between chaos and the way the blue poles paced off one after another acrossed the plane of the picture. Beatniks “rejected American culture etc” very communist, smoking dope etc, and Pollock eventually hanged out with them. Monetization “attach money to anything” and his pictures were very monetized and gained tension.
1960-1970 Pop Art Andy Warhol is the next big figure after Jackson Pollock. Pop Art consisted of painting what was “important”. Consumerism and materialism what.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. POSTMODERNISM
Is the fashionable term used to describe
CONTEMPORARY culture, or the very recent
CULTURE which we live amongst. We are
inhabiting a POSTMODERN WORLD.
The term is a lose one , hard to define
because of vagueness about the MODERN
era, there is no definite start or point of
change when society suddenly became
postmodern,
The term gradually ‘crept in during the 1980s!
Articles and books on postmodernism started to
be published from the early 1980s.
4. It started with postmodern
architecture Philip Johnston’s tower
has a classical greek
pediment shape on the
top taken from furniture
design
They started to
make reference to
older styles of
architecture and
develop playful
Architects and their grew bored forms
with the restrictive rules of
modernism which dictated that
form follow function and allowed
for no decoration.
6. Postmodern fashion
Fashion can also be
inspired by other cultures
and by the past
If the feisty antics of Grace
Jones or the controversial
designs displayed by Vivienne
Westwood at the beginning of
her career mean anything to
you, then you will agree that a
Postmodernism exhibition has
been a long time coming. The
V&A has put together its first
in-depth assessment of the
1970s - 1990s, entitled
Postmodernism: Style and
Subversion at the V&A from
24 September 2011 to 15
January 2012.
7. Postmodern fashion
The V&A has put together its first in-depth assessment of the 1970s -
1990s, entitled Postmodernism: Style and Subversion. To help identify the
key areas of the era, the curators have devised three parts to the exhibition,
in chronological order. The first will look at architecture - where the genre
first emerged, the second at club culture - this enormous section
encompasses all of fashion, design, art and music; and lastly, what most
people affiliate with postmodernism: money, excess and boom. After
Modernism, the world made a remarkable change from all that was
simplistic and plain to something more expressive. Being bold and being
'seen' to experiment with shapes and humour rapidly spread and became a
new wave. The exhibition provides a great window into a time when
confidence and wit was everything and even goes on to highlight forgotten
developments like hip-hop pioneers Grandmaster Flash, along with the
lights, track and extravagance of Las Vegas.
Some would argue that we haven't really moved on from the
Postmodernism of the last 30 years - we only have to look at
artists like Lady Gaga to realise that we cannot claim a definitive
departure from similar performers of the 80s. The current vintage
revival - whereby any period is up for grabs - has also positioned
us in a spot of constant review and attachment to major shifts of
the past - thus making it difficult to make a distinction between
then and now.
But whether or not we've all been there, done that - and possibly still living a
Postmodern existence, the exhibition brings home the radical ideas that
moved us into a world of colour, freedom and good fun.
8. Postmodern DANCE, ART ,
even MAGIC !

Swan lake cast males in the 2 main
parts and the corps de ballet,
presenting a representation of a gay
relationship.
Exploring gender has become a post-
modern feature.
9. SO WHAT IS IT?
Postmodernism is a concept that emerged as an area
of academic study around mid 1980s. It is a wide variety of
concepts which includes architecture, music, literature, fashion,
technology, film etc.
In 1980s the political climate in changed. During this period,
Postmodernism involves a radical re-estimate of modern
assumptions about culture, identity ,history and language.
It attacks the meaning of classifications like black or white,
straight or gay, male or female etc.
Postmodernism started with architecture. It focused on ideal
perfection, harmony of form and function and return of
ornaments, The functional and formalized shapes of modernist
movements are replaced by aesthetic, playfulness, unusual
surfaces, or kitsch style.
10. Key characteristics
Postmodern style is often characterized by
eclecticism,
digression,
collage,
pastiche,
and irony.
Postmodern theorists see postmodern art as a
conflation or reversal of well-established
modernist systems, such as the roles of
artist versus audience,
seriousness versus play,
or high culture versus kitsch
11. NOW what about Media?
Post Modern Media presumes that the audience is media
literate and familiar with a wide range of media references
and needs a high level of stimulation. Media started to make
INTERTEXTUAL REFERENCES to other
media texts to entertain and amuse the audience and involve
them through their familiarity.
ON TV
THE
SIMPSONS
DOES IT ALL
THE TIME . .
14. What FILM examples of
INTERTEXTUALITY
can you think of ?
Shrek is one of my favourites, it makes textual
reference to the Matrix bullet time effects and
pokes fun at rival production company Disney‟s
Snow White.
Po-Mo Horror! In the horror movie
Scream, when the characters reference other
horror movies, it is postmodern. “Pomo” tends
to be self-referential and ironic.
Baz Luhrman‟s Moulin Rouge, a
contemporary musical references many
popular songs in the soundtrack.
15. Another feature is HYBRIDITY
Popular genres are combined to increase the
entertainment value of films, some have got it all!
Sci-Fi narrative. (parody also of the Western)
Epic Action sequences and SFX.
Romance too.
AVATAR
16. • The films of Quentin Tarantino are often
postmodern, In Inglourious Basterds there are
verious postmodern elements which is typical of
Quentin Tarantino’work as an auteur.
• Firstly, the music; in a war film you would expect to
find old fashioned music from the era it is set or
modern music conducted to sound old. however, in
I.B tarantino uses modern music. for example, in
one scene he plays a David Bowey song. The
song works for the scene of Shosanna doing her
hair and makeup, yet clearly wasnt released in that
time era.(BREAKS THE VERISIMILITUDE)
• Also, the way Tarantino uses music from spaghetti
westerns is is odd as you wouldn’t expect cowboy
music in a war film because it is completely mixing
two genres, yet in the woods scene it does work.
Furthermore, the way the film starts with 'once
upon a time' and is split into chapters is post
modern. In a war film you would maybe expect it to
be split up into dates/years, yet not chapters with
that opening line, this implies it is a fairy tale and
all made up. which in the most it is, yet the idea is
that you believe this happened during WW2.
17. The Music Industry
In music for example, “pomo” popular music
contains similar characteristics to postmodern art—
• eclecticism in musical form and musical genre,
• combining characteristics from different genres,
• employs jump-cut sectionalization (such as
blocks). For example . . .
The Scissor Sisters „Comfortably numb‟ contains
blocks of the original ‟Comfortably numb‟ by Pink
Floyd from1979
Currently Alyssa Reid
has released „ Alone‟
Which contains blocks of the original „Alone‟ by
Heart again from the 1970s
18. Marylin:Madonna:Lady GaGa
The way in which Artists are presented can
use postmodern ideas, Marylin Monroe’s style
being an influence on contemporary artists
Madonna, Gwen Stefania and La GaGa.
Lady Gaga’s referencing of Madonna’s style in
her track, lead to a feud, if you believe the
press n gossip mags.
19. AUDIENCES
The advent of a highly MEDIA LITERATE audience has
made post modern media possible
Since the 80s audiences have become more and more
MEDIA SATURATED or bombarded by the media on a daily
basis.
Audiences are familiar with many texts, both current and from
the past, making
INTERTEXTUAL REFERENCES
entertaining and engaging for them.
Audiences are also more and more
demanding, HYBRID GENRES
satisfy their more complex and varied demand for
entertainment.
20. Both are artistic movements in culture,
new ways of viewing culture;
Mo v PoMo
MODERNISM is characterized by the shift from
agricultural to industrial society. Modernist view of
culture: was rooted in the idea that "traditional"
forms of art, literature, social organization and daily
life had become outdated, and that it was therefore
essential to sweep them aside and reinvent culture.
Modernism encouraged the idea of re-examination of
every aspect of existence, and replacing it with new,
and therefore better, ways of reaching the same end.
Stylistically it advocated industrial rather than
decorative forms and an absence of decoration.
POST MODERNISM is cultural movement that came after
modernism, also it follows our shift from being a industrial
society to that of an information society, through
globalization of capital. Markers of the postmodern culture
include opposing hierarchy, diversifying and recycling
culture, questioning scientific reasoning, and embracing
paradox. Postmodernism is a term applied to a wide-ranging
set of developments in critical theory, philosophy,
architecture, art, literature, and culture, which are generally
characterized as either emerging from, in reaction to, or
superseding modernism.
21. So . . . .what is Post Modernism?
Produce a presentation of not more than 3 slides to
summarise what Postmoden media is. If you can, use
examples which you have noticed yourself.
On the 3rd slide . . .does your own work have any postmodern
features?
A discussion of POSTMODERN
FEATURES in your own text
would fit comfortably into your
Q1b exam answer for
Genre, Language
or Audience.
