&_160; v&_160;•&_160;d&_160;•&_160;e&_160; Postmodernism is an aesthetic, literary, political or social philosophy, which was the basis of the attempt to describe a condition, or a state of being, or something concerned with changes to institutions and conditions (as in Giddens, 1990) as postmodernity. In other words, postmodernism is the "cultural and intellectual phenomenon", especially since the 1920s' new movements in the arts, while postmodernity focuses on social and political outworkings and innovations globally, especially since the 1960s in the West. The Compact Oxford English Dictionary refers to postmodernism as "a style and concept in the arts characterized by distrust of theories and ideologies and by the drawing of attention to conventions."[1] The term postmodern is described by Merriam-Webster as meaning either "of, relating to, or being an era after a modern one" or "of, relating to, or being any of various movements in reaction to modernism that are typically characterized by a return to traditional materials and forms (as in architecture) or by ironic self-reference and absurdity (as in literature)", or finally "of, relating to, or being a theory that involves a radical reappraisal of modern assumptions about culture, identity, history, or language".[2]

2. Postmodern Model For Book Reviews
September 02, 2009
Most book reviewers use two traditional approaches. Either they take the bland way of simply being descriptive, or they present a vigorous-and often negative-critical angle.
Here is the traditional reviewer's approach:
1. Immediately mentions the full name of the author and the title of the book. 2. Isolates the theme of the book. A theme is the main topic which could possibly be reduced to a brief sentence; for example: "Billy Budd deals with good and evil," or "Anna Karenina is about rebellious love and social conventions." 3. Mentions the genre (essay, novel, short story, romance,... (read more)

3. Postmodern Traits Of Leadership - How To Be The Best Leader
August 31, 2009
Let's face it; we all sacrifice ourselves to learn skills that will land us a good job and have a go in the daily race that is the pursuit of happiness. But who wants to be stuck doing routine tasks? Apart from a few conformists I've known in my time, most workers want to move up, want to get ahead, and want to be promoted - have a prosperous career.
And of course reap the monetary benefits.
To begin my discussion let me just mention that 'leadership' is a fancy abstract noun hard to grasp. It's more useful to discuss the subject with more humble terms. For example, what makes a person... (read more)

8. The Right Food With The Right Wine
January 06, 2009
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.

9. Indian Contemporary Art
December 22, 2008
Contemporary just means "art that has been and continues to be created during our lifetimes". There is a certain amount of overlapping between "Contemporary" and "Modern" art. A good rule of thumb is: • Modern Art: Art from 1880 up until the 1960's or 70's. • Contemporary Art: Art from the 1960's or 70's up until this very minute. Art History, 1970 is the cut-off point for two reasons. First, because it was around 1970 that the terms "Postmodern" and "Postmodernism" popped up - meaning, we must assume, that the Art World had had its fill of Modern Art starting right then. ...

Encompassing all these perspectives and drawing on the traditional branding concepts from customer- based perspective this paper will concentrate on the construct of the online brand experien...

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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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)

16. 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)

Her works have mysteries, but their effects seem constructed before our eyes and are easily disassembled; the elements remain discreet. Ms. VanDe... (read more)
