Themes of Postmodernism
New understandings of "culture"
Doubt in any one "truth" as representative of reality
Focus on language as constitutive and constituting reality
Preference for the local and the specific over the universal and abstract
Acceptance that different descriptions of reality cannot be measured against one another in any type of final (objective) manner
Themes of Postmodernism-boiled down by Peter Barry
Politics is Pervasive
Language is constitutive
Truth is Provisional
Meaning is Contingent
Human Nature is a Myth
Postmodernism and Art
Art is not merely an aesthetic experience but a way of knowing the world
Art contains a plurality of foci, methods, and references
