Just think how often you've heard a movie or a book being described as \"so postmodern. \" From Andy Warhol's pop art, to authors like Chuck Palahniuk and Douglas Coupland, to ultra-popular movies like Moulin Rouge, Scream, and Pulp Fiction, there's no getting around it: postmodernism has become part of our lives and our entertainment.  \nBut…um…what is it?  \nLike any lit movement, postmodernism (or \"pomo,\" if you want tobe trendy) can't be pinned down to one thing—in fact, one of its big beefs is with the idea that things have to be tied up in a neat little package.  \nBut there are a bunch of features that often crop up in postmodern texts and give us an idea of what sort of criteria we're looking at. We'll get into the essentials later, but one of the major ideas behind postmodernism is that everything has already been done—every story has been told, and it's impossible to be 100% original anymore.  \nWomp womp.  \nThis attitude might seem gloomy at first, but postmodernism is far from Debbie Downerville. It takes this lack of originality as a starting point and says, what the hey?—let's just have fun experimenting and drawing inspiration from those texts that already exist. Sure, some critics may see this as a cop-out, but for postmodernists, it can be liberating. Think of it like a collage,  \n1  \nwhere you piece together stuff to create another text that takes on a life of its own. You've seen those Andy Warhol prints that reframe Marilyn Monroe using neon colors? Imagine that but applied to literary texts.  \nPostmodernism is known for its rebellious approach and willingness to test boundaries. We may take this for granted in literature today, but there was a time back in the 17th and 18th centuries (known as the Enlightenment) that was all about order, unity, reason…you get the idea . We're not saying that postmodernists were the first to go against the grain: Romanticism and then modernism had already questioned whether these ideals were possible. The difference is that postmodernists are all about embracing disorder and taking a more playful approach.  \nThe word \"postmodern\" is so widely used today that some people see it as a cliché . But maybe it's just super popular? Far from being ancient history, postmodernism is one of the big literary movements of our time and has given us some of the best-loved texts of the 20th and 21st centuries.  \nNot too shabby.  \nWhy Should I Care?  \nThrow away the dusty history books: postmodernism is what's happening today.  \nIt started to generate buzz around the mid-20th century and since then, it's become more and more a part of our lives—for better or worse, depending on who you ask.  \nSince postmodernism exploded onto the scene, it's grown to the point where some folks have suggested that we're now moving into (or have already moved into) a post-postmodern age. At the moment, though, the idea of what this new age might involve is still vague, with academic types having different ideas about where we're heading. So let's stick with postmodernism for the moment.  \nAnd what has postmodernism done for us? Well, it's broken down boundaries. Where some other eras and literary movements have tried to draw a line between high and low culture, postmodernism  \nmixes things up. It's the opposite of snobby, and doesn't worship a particular set of \"classic\" authors or texts.  \nBecause of this laidback approach, postmodernism has helped change people's ideas about what we can classify as literature. Sure, there may be some folks who'd like to stick with the old emphasis on \"serious,\" \"highbrow\" texts, but postmodernism has made a major dent on traditional ideas about literature, art, and culture.  \nWith its playful approach and rebelliousness when it comes to the line between high/low culture, postmodernism isn't burrowed away in some narrow corner of academia; in fact, it has seriously shaken up ","cbCaiqgzE8nLL4Ba","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqgzE8nLL4Ba","pdf",366495,55,"English","# Why Should I Care?\n## Postmodern Literature Top 10 List\n## Post-World War II\n## Late Capitalism\n## Hyperreality\n## Paranoia\n## Fragmentation\n## Metafiction\n## Intertextuality","[{\"question\":\"What is postmodernism, according to the text?\",\"answer\":\"Postmodernism is a literary movement that resists neat definitions and challenges the idea that works must be tied up in a single orderly package.
