9th January- media
You have to understand modernism to understand post modernism 
Breaking the structures of modernism 
Postmodern- binary opposite, paradox, hypocritical 

Post modernism
Breaking traditional conventions
New ideas
Stuctures
Different
Communication
Hybrid - genre mixed

Simulacra
Comsumerism
Emptiness 
Lack of beliefs


Just a theory - post modernism - don't believe in theories
Contradictory 

Convergence

1960's - traditional ideas changing

Weakening of modernism 1945-1960's

1960's onwards - post modern ideas strengthening

New media - TV, 

1. Central idea of collapsing structures
2. Rejection of traditional ideas (modernism)
3. Emptiness, lack of beliefs (fake & superficial)


Understand modernism to understand post modernism
Post modernism - binary opposite to modernism, breaking structures
Paradox - binary opposite is a modernist structure, but need to be understood to understand post modernism even though the post modernism doesn't have a belief in binary opposites

Lyotard-period of history, postmodernity, collapsing structures 1980, teenagers selfish, belief in ourselves rather than a community, morality 

Baudrillard-think like, hyper reality &simulacra, but it is Disney, 

Jameson-stylistic, intertextuality, simulation etc

Homework- music video etc finished
