Postmodernism Aims of Lesson: To examine the characteristics of modernism and postmodernism. To analyse a postmodern music video.

Modernism - Art / social-political movement that aimed to reinvent culture that had become outdated. - Roughly occurred between 1890s - 1960s. - A rejection against realism. - Divisions of modernism include avant-garde (works that are experimental or innovative) and surrealism (sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind). - Films / novels / art were self-reflexive (containing a reflection or image of itself) of society.

Modernist art challenged the realism and illusion of the romantic era. John Constable Pablo Picasso (Romanticism) (Modernism)

Modernism is self-reflexive, it draws attention to itself and the materials is uses. - E.g. Jackson Pollock

Postmodernism - 1970s onwards The breakdown of barriers between genres and style The breakdown of distinction between binary (involving two things) divides (E.g. human and machine) - Mixing up time, space and narrative - Emphasis of style over content Blurring of fiction and reality / representation and the real Becoming more used to a mediated (intervening/negotiated) version of reality, than reality itself (hyperreality).

Key Terms/Characteristics of Post-Modernism Intertextuality - one media text referring to another Parody - mocking something in an original way 1970s / 1980s cop series Sabotage music video

Parody - The Simpsons parodies both high and low culture to a wide range of audiences. - Part of the idea of postmodernism is that there is no divide between high art and mass culture.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Pastiche - An artistic work in a style that imitates that of another work, artist, or period. This is a self-conscious imitation. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Marilyn Monroe Material Girl Madonna Ashanti Foolish music video Goodfellas
