24.03.15 lesson notes

How do post modern media texts challenge traditional text-reader relations and the concept of representation? - Immersion, challenges - collapses it 
Thesis
Black mirror and wreck it Ralph are post modernism to different extents however neither challenge text-reader relations. They are both modernist forms (reference gaming & social media). They are stylistically Pomo (intertextuality, nostalgia, style over substance), black mirror theoretically uses Pomo ideas.

How does post modernism make text a richer experience for audience?
To what extent can some texts be considered to be post-modern? 

1) Must be able to define post modernism - relationship to modernism - traditional ideas and structures - Post modernism rejects this
2) applying characteristics to text - empty, superficial, hyper real - what POMO looks like Jameson
3) apply to texts - thinking POMO - argue but this is 
4) historical
