post-modernism

Post-modernism is a broad cultural, artistic, and philosophical movement that emerged in the mid to late 20th century. It challenges established ideas about art, literature, and society, emphasizing skepticism, subjective experiences, and the deconstruction of grand narratives or ideologies. Post-modernism often embraces paradox, irony, and fragmentation, reflecting a complexity of viewpoints instead of a single truth. It questions the boundaries between high and low culture, blending styles and genres, and values pluralism over absolutism. In essence, post-modernism highlights the diversity and relativism of human thought and expression.
