1. Run a google search for quotations about postmodernism. Searching for quotations by the following philosophers may be helpful.
- Baudrillard
- Lyotard
- Jameson
- Strinati
- Derrida
2. Find a youtube clip that supports the quotation in some way. This may be difficult to do if you chooses a very difficult quotation. Ideally, find one that already rings bells in your mind. To narrow down your search you can always look through some of The Trews, which often contain postmodern ideas.
3. Explain (as best you can) the meaning of the quotation, making reference to the clip you have chosen. This should not be longer than 200 words.
NB: POST EVERYTHING IN THE COMMENTS SECTION INCLUDING LINKS TO ANY GOOD WEBSITES YOU FIND ALONG THE WAY.
'Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn't like jam if it didn't, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn't like truth if it wasn't sticky, if, from time to time, it didn't ooze blood' - Baudrillard
ReplyDelete"Postmodernism tries to come to terms with and understand a media-saturated society. The mass media, for example, were once thought of as holding up a mirror to, and thereby reflecting, a wider social reality. Now that reality is only definable in terms of surface reflection of the mirror"

ReplyDelete“…is postmodernity the pastime of an old man who scrounges in the garbage-heap of finality looking for leftovers, who brandishes unconsciousnesses, lapses, limits, confines, goulags, parataxes, non-senses, or paradoxes, and who turns this into the glory of his novelty, into his promise of change?” - Jean-François Lyotard

ReplyDelete'The simulacrum is never what hides the truth — it is truth that hides the fact that there is none. The simulacrum is true' - Jean Baudrillard
ReplyDelete“The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction. The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyper real. “Jean Baudrillard
ReplyDelete“This is the postmodern desert inhabited by people who are, in effect, consuming themselves in the form of images and abstractions through which their desires, sense of identity, and memories are replicated and then sold back to them as products”
