POSTMODERN CULTURE AND CONSUMER CULTURE Postmodernism Introduction Postmodernism is a philosophy that is not easy to define. It is associated with the tendency of the society to reject or go against objective truth and the global view of certain cultural aspects. To fully understand this broad topic, we must first understand the term modernism. Modernism as a philosophy started with Enlightenment. Enlightenment was period when science and art greatly prospered. The scientific innovations that were developed during this Enlightenment period have been used as measure of standard under which today’s developments are done. Postmodernism therefore can be seen as moving away or a step away from modernism. As opposed to modernism, postmodernism broadens the truth from that ...
... proliferated its constituent spheres to such a point that it could no longer be understood as unified and explainable . Postmodernism thus sees itself as the recognition that one may not be able to explain society 'as it is in itself'. On these views society is not locatable, not found in singularity, rather it is everywhere constantly changing, and for this reason cannot be explained by the universalizing theories advanced by modernity.
