Definition of postmodernism

Postmodernism: the compact Oxford dictionary refers to postmodernism as “a style and concept in the arts characterised by a distrust of theories and ideologies and by the drawing of attention to conventions”

Postmodernists claim that in a media saturated world where we are constantly immersed in media the distinction between reality and media representation of it becomes blurred or even entirely invisible to us. In other words we no longer have any sense of the difference between real things and images of them or real experiences ad simulations of them.

Others say that it is just a new way of thinking about media when really is has always been this way.
