Post modernism

1. 3 types of post modernism
- Historical
- Aesthetic
- Philosophy
(exam - will ask a question, use the 3 types of post modernism)

2. 3 big theorists
- Baudrillard - swimming in a sea of science - simulacra
- Jameson - hybridity
- Lyotard - structures collapsing - first theorist to realise this

3. binary opposites - post modernism and moderism, 
Post modernism - Collapsing of structures, rejection (like a relationship breakdown - gradual)
Modernism - Traditional structures

4. The foundation of post modernism is Consumerism (money) and technology - Western

5. Emptiness - wanting more, achieving aspirations - no beliefs

6. Historical event ending modernism - Second World War - doing something post modern was antisocial. 1960's 1970's
Atomic bomb - technology to wipe out the world

post modernism - the rejection in believing what you are being told is normal

Superficial & Empty - Something that appears real until looking into it further and seeing its not real. Feeling of emptiness and wanting more and more.

Parody - like intertextuality, taking ideas from other films and making a new film using these ideas. Remake of a video "taking the mick"

Pastiche - Imitating artistic work from another artist or period

Bricolage - Mixing up genres and styles

Homage - Imitation from a respectful standpoint

Hybridity - The mixing of different genres

Self Reflexivity - Is the text that it is itself a constructed simulation or reproduction.

Hyperreality - Blurring of what is real and simulated

Simulacra - Where you cannot differentiate between what is real and what is hyperreal.

Blurring of boundaries - Boundaries of time and periods in history have been blurred and have no time and no place.

Disjointed narrative structures - No typical happy ending in film.

Nostalgia - things that already exist from the past that provide pleasure when looking back on it. Not looking at the future, to escape. Create this using intertextuality
