can anyone send the summary of post modernism
Answers
Postmodernity applies to postmodern CULTURE.
Postmodernism applies to postmodern THEORY.
This means that the term postmodernism should be used when describing intellectual or philosophical ideas whereas postmodernity can be applied to any aspect of living in a postmodern world. In practice the terms are often used interchangeably!
Most academics writing about the postmodern condition agree that it is very difficult to define. Many of the people whose ideas are described as 'postmodern' do not necessarily use the term themselves. This makes it hard to date, but it is generally said to have begun in the years after WWII but became more influential in the latter part of the 1960s.
