post modernism
introduction about post modernismintroduction about modernist short fiction
so the term itself although we use it for the sake of convenience to cover as you said a movement that came after modernism/ the term itself has a certain kind of ambiguity it suggests both the idea of continuity with what came before because we have made it necessary to keep the word modernity we suggesting that there is in a way some sort of continuity
Post modernism is something that grows out of modernism that something goes beyond modernism something that is going to modify the way we look at modernism
modernism) came as a kind of innovative force try to change and transform to revolutionize European culture in general/ postmodernism in a sense is going to continue down the same role but with a less belief in the possibility that one can change European culture or European literature
the postmodernists come to a point in European history where there is a loss of belief
one thing that we can say about postmodernism is that it will prioritize “style over what we call substance
and they are going to in a sense challenge some of these principles of “realism” especially they going to question the very notion of “character the notion of “plot” and “chronology” even the notion of setting
modern writer limits themselves in subjectivity unlike realists
objectivity is based on the idea that someone can describe the world as it is
so one of the emphasis that modernism going to use is the idea of “introversion
they use stream of consciousness
