- 2. What is Postmodernism ? • A late 20th-century style and concept in the arts, architecture, and criticism, which represents a departure from modernism and is characterized by the self-conscious use of earlier styles and conventions, a mixing of different artistic styles and media, and a general distrust of theories.
- 3. • Postmodernism especially in terms of its use for culture studies, rejects the opposition between’high’ and ‘low’ Culture. • Postmodernist believe that authors might have liberty to write his point of view and they said every one has truth different truth. • Other thing postmodernist believe that we should not accept domestic state because it is like one person perspection ,it is not universal truths.
- 4. • They celebrated plurality, Heterogeneous and the small, local, innovative, marginalized and unfinished narrative that respect difference and specificities of culture, individuals and regions. • They were mentioned on self representation.
- 5. Jean Baudrillard and Hyperreal theory • Argument distinctions between the real and the illusory • Distinction between original and copy • Distinction between superficiality and depth has broken down.
- 6. What we now have is a culture of ‘hyperreality ? His work simulacra and simulation • About reality – draws from sociology, media studies • Sign merely refers to other signs • Signs are ultimately empty because they only refer to other similar signs rather then truth. • Truth is thus simulacrum. • Simulation is when image becomes more real than real. • For example- Disneyland
- 7. Virtual reality • It means person believe illustion. • It creates reprodundancy of the distanction between ‘true’ and ‘copy’. • Example like and media or politics set the agenda on the narrative of war – propagation imagery. • For example URI surgical stick • Balakot attack
- 8. • His work -Consumer society • Urban capitalism- concealing the inequality of society behind images of production, prosperity • Object are not simply consumed. • They signify a status rather than satisfy a need. • We consume images, and the exchange value is transformed into sign value. • Example – a mango drink – our ‘knowledge’ of the mango, mango tree or mango plantation is through the sign or representations of the mango on the bottle.
- 9. Baudrillard afther the postmodern is characterized by the Hyperreal • Collapse of distinction between the private and the public • This is the 'implosion’ of meaning in the media where signs without referents enchant us.
- 10. Here I conclude Postmodernism is term of self presentating view so its type of liberty through we can not reach on real things so it is more controversial term. Jean Baudrillard gave theory of Hyperreal but he was only observe society and gave his view but he does not provide solutions.
