less meaning full.
Lyotard
believes that the postmodern condition is marked by a crisis in status of
knowledge in western society e.g. collapse and rejection of all framework,
Marxism, Christianity for example. The Postmodern condition is an ‘anything
goes’ culture, a culture of slackening where taste is irrelevant and money the
only sign of value. Postmodernism is that which breaks with one modernism to
form a new modernism.
Baudrillard
claims that we have reached a stage in social and economic development in which
‘it is no longer possible to separate the aconomic or productive realm from the
realms of ideology or culture since culture artefacts, images and
representations have become part of the world of economic. Shift in society
from the production of things to the production of information.
Jameson
argues that Postmodernism is a culture of pastiche.
