 Media Magazine Theory Drop - Postmodernism


1) How does the article define postmodernism in the first page of the article?

Readers are free to interpret a work however they choose, irrespective of what the creator
thinks.

2) What did media theorist and Semiotician Roland Barthes suggest in his essay 'The Death of the Author'?

 The Death of the Author is the next step after Nietzsche’s ‘God is dead’ statement and with it comes a need to test the boundaries of what a text is.

3) What is metatextuality?

Metatextuality is where a text draws attention to the fact that it is a text.
It points to the process of its own creation.

4) What is the repeated phrase on the cartoon on postmodernism on page 28?

5) How does postmodernism link to media representations and reality?

One of the great appeals of postmodernism is how much fun it can be. It can be used to be ground- breaking and traditional at the same time.
