Answer 1

television is postmodern

Answer 2

(d) Television

Explanation:

• A postmodern trend in the late 20th century, in Western philosophy characterized by widespread scepticism, relativism or subjectivism or a general distrust in rationality; and an acute sensitivity to the role of ideology in asserting and maintaining economic and political power.
• Postmodernism can be seen as a response opposing the ideas or ideals of modernism in the early and middle decades of the twentieth centuries and the period after the domination of modernism in cultural theories and practice.
• Post-modern critical approaches have been developed and espoused in numerous scientific and theoretical fields in the 1980s and 1990s, including cultural studies, science philosophy, economics, language, design, feminist theory, and literary criticism and in art movements such as literature, visual art, and music.
• Postmodern TV shows express postmodernism themes and ideas through this medium. TV series like NBC sitcom Community aims at subvert the traditional narrative structure and characterization norms and challenge the public's definition of fact. These works seek to cross the cultural gap between high and low art and sometimes perturb conventional portrayals of society, including class, race and gender, in order to construct something that does not follow traditional narrative traditions.
