Post Modernism and the Music Video

What is post-modernism?









Remodelling of the past/satirising








Transforming iconic images
















Adding to past traditions 















Mixing genre 


















Plays with reality 















Intertextuality 










How does post-modernism come about?
  • The Experimental stage starts to establish trends 
  • The Cannon stage works within the trends to fix the into our cultural understanding
  • The Post-mordernism stage looks at the trends and manipulates them, adds other things in and makes something new
Different types of intertextuality  
  • Homage-Imitation is the highest form of flattery
  • Pastiche-Using the imagery of one text to make a comment about another
  • Parody-Satirising something else

  1. You have defined post-mdernism effectively via a range of images and text; make sure that you post an example of a deconstruction of a video that you consider post modern.

    How does the vidoe use elements of other texts? What meanings / effects are created?
