postmodernism
post mod ern ism |pōstˈmädərˌnizəm ˌpoʊs (t )ˈmɑdərnˌɪzəm | ▶noun a late-20th -century style and concept in the arts, architecture, and criticism that represents a departure from modernism and has at its heart a general distrust of grand theories and ideologies as well as a problematical relationship with any notion of “art. ” Typical features include a deliberate mixing of different artistic styles and media, the self-conscious use of earlier styles and conventions, and often the incorporation of images relating to the consumerism and mass communication of late-20th -century postindustrial society. Postmodernist architecture was pioneered by Robert Venturi; the AT & T skyscraper in New York (completed in 1984 ) is a prime example of the style. Influential literary critics include Jean Baudrillard and Jean-François Lyotard. DERIVATIVES post mod ern ist noun & adjective, post mod er ni ty |ˌpōstməˈdərnətē |noun
