How do you explain what Post-Modernism is /lit/?

>> No.7376690

We can't. And that's the beauty of what post-modernism is. That's what post-modernism is.

Is there even such thing as post-modernism or is it just a meme term?

A reaction to the pretension and intellectualism of modernism, Postmodernism promotes a cynical view society and, very often, intentionally tries to defy/challenge common conventions and ideas.

Thats not an explanation of what it is, its just a description

Define post-impressionism as a movement in painting... You obviously can't. That's why it's "post"-modernism and not just a term of it's own. It's not a literary movement, it's a period, which the defining elements of modernistic literature are being stretched out, deconstructed, re-thought and reflected upon at. When new, 21th century ideas will be solidified, you will have literary movements with clear, or at least more clear definitions.
