The text interrogates how “postmodern” relates to modernism, using sequences of concepts such as representation crisis, the end of originality, and the shifting role of the artist. It then traces theoretical tools including structuralism, poststructuralism, deconstruction, and power/knowledge, before extending into historical themes like simulated reality, hypermodernism, and the politics of media-visible conflict.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/postmodernism-part-one-the-genealogy-of-postmodern-art/329281/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/postmodernism-part-one-the-genealogy-of-postmodern-art/329281.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Skyler","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-03","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",16,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What does the book ask about the word “postmodern”?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"It examines how “postmodern” is defined by the meanings suggested by the “post-” prefix—such as the aftermath, denial, or rejection of modernism—while showing that the term mixes multiple senses.","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"How does the text structure its argument on postmodernism?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"It organizes the discussion into three parts: postmodern art, postmodern theory, and postmodern history, linking changes across art, theory, and economic/historical contexts.",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"Which theoretical areas are introduced in the section on postmodern theory?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"It covers structuralism and signs, poststructuralism and the “death of the author,” deconstruction (including “différance”), and power/knowledge, as well as related topics such as postmodern feminism and scientific legitimation.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":125,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":127,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":129,"site_id":62},329281,1790063485,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":132},{"doc_id":129,"user_id":133,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":140,"language":141,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":142,"faqs":143,"seo_title":144,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":145,"read_time":146},2336464648746,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_276721f389ce27ea32af1340a28f341c","Published by Icon Books Ltd, Omnibus Business Centre, 39–41 North Road, London N 7  \n9DP  \nemail: [info@iconbooks.com](info@iconbooks.com)  \n[www.introducingbooks.com](www.introducingbooks.com)  \n[ISBN: 978-184831-760-4](ISBN: 978-184831-760-4)[ ](ISBN: 978-184831-760-4)Text and illustrations copyright © 2013 Icon Books Ltd The author and artist have asserted their moral rights.  \nOriginating editor: Richard Appignanesi  \nNo part of this book may be reproduced in any form, or by any means, without prior  \npermission in writing from the publisher.  \nContents  \nCover Title Page Copyright  \nFirst, let’s consider the WORD    \nPART ONE: THE GENEALOGY OF POSTMODERN ART What’s Modern?
