Postmodernism


Postmodernism is an idea or term applied to varying movements within literature,art, philosophy and fiction, as well as many others. The term 'postmodernism' is difficult to define, although it stems from the recognition that reality is not simply mirrored by humans understanding of it, but it's constructed as peoples' minds try to understand its own individual personal reality. It stresses how meaning is hard to pin down such as words and concepts. Postmodernists claim that in a media saturated world, the distinction between reality and the media representation of it becomes blurred or even invisible.
