Post modernism is a difficult term to define, it is intended as a rejection of conventional reality and conventional forms.
It deliberately rejects;
-boundaries between high and low forms of art.
- rigid genre distinctions.
Post modern text favours;
- pastiche a work of art that borrows or imitates from the work or style of other artists.
- parady ( a humorous imitation of something serious.)
- reflexility and self-consciousness.
- fragmentation and discontinuity (especially in narrative structure)
- intertextibility -one text may make use of a different text in order to aid a different layer of meaning (referencially) show intertextuality.
- irony and playfullness.
- Bricolage ( a french term for putting together different articles as in punkfashion) takes intertextuality a stage further. Bricolage suggestsd that this referentiallity has been used in such a way that a new meaning is constructed e.g. fusion of documentry game shows and soap oreas become a reality show such a big brother.
