Postmodernism is percieved as old and new, original and un-original.
In the early 1900s, modern developed into post modern.
Postmodernism refers to things that have already happened but refers back to them while looking at them in a different way.
- The experiment stage of genre is to establish trends e.g experiment on post modern.
- The cannon stage works within those trends to fix them into our cultural understanding.
- The postmodern stage looks at those trends, laughs at them, pokes them with a big stick and adds something new and different to them.
- Therefore, this creates a new experiment stage, and we go back around the circle.
How can we apply this theory to the history of music:
Experiment stage: Bob Dylan
Cannon stage: Bohemian Rapcidy
Postmodernism stage: Interpreation of a zombie in Micheal Jackson: 'thriller'.
To this day, it is argued that various music videos are a post modern stage of evolution of cinema theatrics.
Therefore, post modernism moves into a new era.
- Postmodernism becomes the 'new' by refering to the 'old'.
- Postmodernism in invented by copying.
- Postmodernism can be created by humerous of terrifying content.
- Can be created by anyone.
Intertexuality is the coming together of two different texts.It includes a manipulation of one text refered to another, possibly even mimicked.
There are three types of intertexuality:
- Homage (Imitation is the highest form of flattery)
Michael Jackson; 'Smooth Criminal'
- Pastiche (Using the imagery of one text to make a comment about another)
Will Young- 'Switch It on'
- Parody (Basically taking the mickey)
Backstreet Boys; 'Everybody '
