Postmodernism (sometimes abbreviated Pomo[1]) was originally a reaction to modernism (not necessarily "post" in the purely temporal sense of "after"). Largely influenced by the disillusionment induced by World War II, postmodernism tends to refer to a cultural, intellectual, or artistic state lacking a clear central hierarchy or organizing principle and embodying extreme complexity, contradiction, ambiguity, diversity, and interconnectedness or interreferentiality.[2]

The term was used as early as 1914 in an article in The Hibbert Journal (a quarterly philosophical review) written by J.M.Thompson. In this context it was used to describe fundamental changes in attitudes and beliefs within Christian society of the time ('Post-Modernism, J.M.Thompson, The Hibbert Journal Vol XII No.4 July 1914 p.733). It was then recoined in 1949 to describe a dissatisfaction with modern architecture, leading to the postmodern architecture movement.[5] Later, the term was applied to several movements, including in art, music, and literature, that reacted against modern movements, and are typically marked by revival of traditional elements and techniques.[6] Postmodernism in architecture is marked by the re-emergence of surface ornament, reference to surrounding buildings in urban architecture, historical reference in decorative forms, and non-orthogonal angles. It may be a response to the modernist architectural movement known as the International Style.

In its broadest context, postmodernism can be seen as a world view. For instance, Walter Truett Anderson identifies postmodernism as one of four world views. These four worldviews are the postmodern-ironist, which sees truth as socially constructed, the scientific-rational in which truth is 'found' through methodical, disciplined inquiry, the social-traditional in which truth is found in the heritage of American and Western civilisation and the neo-romantic in which truth is found either through attaining harmony with nature and/or spiritual exploration of the inner self.[7]

1. EXISTENTIAL DILLEMMA IN THE NOVELS OF KINGSLEY AMIS
September 25, 2008

EXISTENTIAL DILEMMA IN THE NOVELS OF KINGSLEY AMIS The present research proposes to study representation of existential dilemma in the fictional world of Kingsley Amis. As a twentieth century writer engaged in writing about socio-psychological reality, Amis depicts the traumatic experiences of twentieth century man caught in the scheme of things. At a time when writers chose to come out of the jolts of World War II and the holocaust, Amis focuses on the existential dilemma of postmodern consciousness of man engulfed in, what Hamlet of Shakespeare says, “to be or not to be” problem.

2. Turkish music nowadays
December 02, 2007

Whenever it comes to music, no matter if it’s Turkish music or any other European music, we also think about the rhythm and how this music fills the air. It’s always about the atmosphere that this music creates and about the feelings and sensations we have when we are listening to this music. Whether we talk about classical art music or folk music, when it comes to dinle music we are quite amazed by the richness of their lyrical influences as well as the versions of this traditional genre are termed as art music or sanat musikis. The unofficial term is alla turca but they are all belongin... (read more)

3. Mariko Mori and Takashi Murakami and their Cyborg Theory.
September 20, 2007

The presentation of artworks of Mariko Mori and Takashi Murakami evidently signifies that the painting in the present society has obtained new media for the experience and expression of the ideas which had never existed in the factual world. The postmodern artists get their muse in the cyborg theory and in the historic progress of this theory in literature and fine art. Also their works were influences by the result of world technological progress and constantly increasing global process of computerization, for example Japanese otaku movement and its equivalents all over the world.

4. Definition of the Epistemology
August 20, 2007

It is not very easy to understand the meaning of epistemology theory, because it is connected to a huge size and understanding of feminism. There exist three main points in feminism: empiricist, feminist itself, and postmodern. And now we are going to discuss a bit all of these three categories. The first one – empiricist – is connected with objective knowledge and everything concerning empirical scientific work. It is also about uniting scientific projects and constantly reforming science and knowledge group from within, way it is proved. But the second one – postmodernism – is a contrary to... (read more)

5. Mallin' Rouge: Positive versus Negative Readings
July 07, 2007

The mall is said to be a transmitter of culture, a shopper's paradise to escape the chaos of daily life in a postmodern world. A mall is a space, which the individual ‘re-appropriates’ in an effort to construct a self, and as a place where a woman might find the opportunity and space to resist the imposition of male values. This view sees a positive transaction between the mall goer and the mall, which is seen to offer more democratic hope and possibility. Malls were even likened to abstract art in that it allows free-play for the viewer, like television is said to do (as abovementioned). Shop... (read more)

6. Sara VanDerBeek's Education,Awards,and Paintings
June 07, 2007

VanDerBeek's artistic DNA includes Max Ernst and Paul Outerbridge and contemporaries like Carol Bove, known for shelf sculptures that assemble meaning from carefully selected books and objects. Ms. VanDerBeek nails down her fragile ensembles with the camera, converting postmodern assemblage into an illusionistic fusion of collage and photomontage.Sara VanDerBeek's adventures in set-up photography and appropriation embrace transparency and disclosure. Her works have mysteries, but their effects seem constructed before our eyes and are easily disassembled; the elements remain discreet. Ms. VanDe... (read more)

7. How To Play Cupid For Food And Wine
April 04, 2007

When it comes to food and wine, most people are brought up with the rule stating ?red goes with red, white goes with white?, which means red wine goes with red meat while white wine goes with fish and poultry. Then came the ?postmodern? maxim which says that ?if you like the taste, the match is perfect?. Despite the presence of these simplistic guides, many people still don't know how to match food and wine well. The truth is, many really don't know what tastes good and what doesn't. Fortunately, the art of food and wine matching follows a simple logic that is quite easy to follow. The... (read more)

10. The Guggenheim Museum - Solomon R. Guggenheim's great gift to New York City
September 19, 2006

New York is more than America's largest city: it has been and continues to be the inspiration behind much of the country's most enduring pieces of art and literature. From Langston Hughes to Jonathan Safran Foer, and Jackson Pollock to Mark Rothko, New York City has been the thriving hub of many an American cultural movement since the beginning of the 1900s. This fact is made even more evident by the city's wide array of museums and art galleries, the most prominent of which are The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), The Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum, among a host of ...
