Notes post modernity

1. You need to understand modernism to understand post 
2. Breaking the structure of modernism
3. Binary opposite which belongs in modernism 
So you need to understand use modernism to do post modernism, but postmodern wants to throw that away and forget 

Post modernism is a paradox and is ironic 

Wreck it Ralph is modern in terms of prosumerism and interactivity audience vs text

Self for filling idea 

Period of time - rejected modernism when ? 


Stylistic - stronger than 1980's looks like? 


Theoretical - thinks like ? 


Lyotard - truth has to be deconstructed - when, period of time - collapse in structure 

Baudrillard - theoretical thinks like? - hyper reality and simulacra 

Jameson - looks like, stylistic - 1980s strengthens - intertexuality - simulacra 


We live in post modernity now 

Wir is post modern because : 
Baudrillard - simulacra and hyper real 
Breaking representation  of masculinity - collapsing of structure candy saga

More notes 

1. Collapsing of structures 
2. Rejecting of traditional ideas 
3. Emptiness and lack of belief 

The Japan nuclear bomb made humanity lose trust, because any second the world can be gone by a bomb. Technology was too advanced and could end the world. This was the start of post modernism because of this event. 

Technology was advanced during the 80's, leading to a lack of belief, no future. Post modernism was growing stronger, hyper reality becoming more popular. People were rejecting traditional ideas, and developing reality into hyper reality. An example of people starting to become trapped by a game. No emergency services. Lost trust in both emergency services police and government. Being reborn so a post modern representation. 

This film is a Dystopia film and is so popular because of a lack of belief that anything can get any better. The collapsing structure of theories is shown here, through hyper reality, to show the future. 

No progress distopia 


1980 explores simulation and hyper reality 
Must refer to an earlier text tron to wreck it Ralph
