A lot of modernism texts aren’t simplistic in style but look to reflect the modern society. However, it does this through breaking norms and traditions. So you could read the Wasteland by T.S Eliot which is one of the greatest modernist prose however is insanely complicated and abstract - which is intentional
so postmodernism is valuelessness and nihilistic a decline in almost every aspect of life, lol every piece of the comparison at the end the modern is OK the postmodern is terrible, thx for the video
LOL indeed. A more productive read on postmodernism is that it takes the ideas of modernism and shows their fundamentally contradictory nature. It's no more nihilistic than a contemporary physics experiment.
@@petergbeal Everyone disparages modernist thought until their cell phone goes dead and saying 'But it being charged is MY TRUTH!' doesn't turn the dang thing back on.
@@AF-tv6uf Postmodernism would ask what really charges that phone. Electricity, etc. sure, definitely necessary but not sufficient to explain how or why it actually functions.
Electricity is quite sufficient to explain the technical how and the why. The question of 'why' it was created in the first place? Now that's the subject for philosophy! A modernist would say that technological advancement is the predictable and natural result of a general trajectory of progress, while a postmodernist would claim a more subjectively Western desire to capitalize and consume.
