Question

Why do you think Kruger uses such old-fashioned images of gender-stereotypes in we don't need another hero?And how do they help subvert or maintain the status quo in we don’t need another hero?

Answer 1

The late 20th century began a “transitional period of changing economic, social and cultural patterns”(Barker 2012: 203) that were established during modernism; the pre-existent late 19th and early 20th century movement. This transitional period can be known as postmodernism. This research paper elaborates on the key features of postmodernism, namely: intertextuality, parody and pastiche with reference to “committed feminist”(Squiers 1995: 58) Barbara Kruger’s work, We Don’t Need Another Hero (1987). This analysis of postmodernist features will be done through investigating the socio-economic and cultural domain that it was produced in.
