From the Paper:
"What is postmodern culture? Postmodern culture is the blurring of lines between what is real and what is simulated, it the ever increasing intextuality of our lives - the inextricable binding of the media, mass culture and daily life. In postmodern society there is "an incredulity towards meta narratives" (Lyotard 2004) "and truth is what we invent, not what we discover" (Spender 2004). Postmodern culture is present in every Westernised society, its relevance is global; American society and culture provide excellent examples of the extent to which postmodern culture exists but it is not alone in postmodernity."Cite this Essay:
