The document provides an overview of key characteristics and examples of Post-Modernism. It discusses how Post-Modernism questions objective truth and reality, features experimental and fragmented styles that blend genres, and lacks overarching narratives. Examples are given of Post-Modern architecture by Frank Gehry, as well as Post-Modern music artists like Beck and Kanye West. Post-Modern television is said to include pastiche, spectacle, self-referential "faux TV", and mysteries exploring the unknown.

- 1. Post-Modernism A Limited Introduction
- 2. Defining Post-Modernism Post-Modernism labels art, literature, music, and architecture. Attempting to describe P-M is a difficult task. More than any other period, the definition of P-M is often determined by a comparison/contrast to another period.
- 3. Characteristics of P-M A blending and questioning of the real vs. the fictional Fragmentary and chaotic experimentation mingled characteristics; mixed genres No overarching truth; truth does not exist. External versus internal temporal disorder Look to non-west religion, social habitation, self-actualization No overarching narrative or explanation
- 4. Post-Modern Statements The quest for truth is a lost cause. A persons sense of identity is a composite constructed by the forces of the surrounding culture. The languages of our culture literally construct what we think of as real in our everyday existence. Reality is created by those who have power.
