Post modernism Johanna Vassallo






 I watched these videos as well as I visited other sites.


 The concept of postmodernism is not widely accepted or even understood today. It is inclusive of a wide variety of disciplines and areas of study including art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, etc, that’s why the term postmodernism refers to the idea of multiplicity and incompatibility, because lots of things exist together and may not be directly related one to each other or they may not be grouped under the same category, as a result of different particular processes, events or situations that give place to an interminable amount of changes among different disciplines.
As regards postmodernism in culture, it caused a complete change in productions such as contemporary vanguard film and video - but also a whole new style of commercial or fiction films. These commercial films were focused on every day families and advertised comics and consumer products, as regards fiction films a variety stories were mixed together to produce creative and imaginative films that were a revolution in cinema in those days, but all this wouldn’t have been possible without the invention of the first pictures in motion and animated films with synchronized sound.

Concerning art and education some postmodernism ideas are:

    
  1.                           Violent reactions and sentimental world is reflected.
  2.                         Moral relativism. People think of values to be based on feelings
  3.             Emphasize story and personal discovery
  4.                       The knowledge is fragmented. It is distributed and arranged in different ways thanks to modern technology’s inventions such as computers.
  5.             The existence of virtual worlds that allows students and teachers to interact in a same virtual environment created by themselves but being each of them in a different physical one.
  6.             You learn things not to know them, but to use them. This is called functional knowledge.
  7.        Students become active participants in modifying knowledge that is at their hands. 


I believe Postmodernism is controversial reaction to all the things that modernism proposed departing primarily from the technological changes and revolutionary ideas that emerged from a post modern society.
