Postmodernism is a movement that emerged after modernism, characterized by deconstruction, commodification of knowledge, the influence of media, alienation, simulation, and loss of faith. It reflects a consolidated capitalist society with the decline of overarching narratives and the rise of copies and derivatives over original works, paving the way for other "post" movements.
