Postmodernism
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-28
CORE DEFINITION
Postmodernism, spanning art, culture, and philosophy, emerged in the mid-20th century as a reflection on and skepticism toward modernism, emphasizing the instability of meaning, rejecting universal truths, and challenging grand narratives. Although definitions vary across disciplines, it generally questions established norms, embraces stylistic eclecticism, and focuses on knowledge and reality as social constructs. Adherents of postmodernism deliberately step outside conventional frameworks, eager to shape their works into unprecedented new forms.
