Postmodernism (or postmodernism, postmodernism, post-mo) is a 20th-century movement in art, architecture and criticism, which continues modernism. Postmodernism includes skeptical interpretations of culture, literature, art, philosophy, history, economics, architecture, fiction, and literary criticism. Postmodernism is often associated with deconstruction and post-structuralism because its use as a term gained significant popularity at the same time as post-structuralism, namely in the twentieth century.
Postmodernism is a concept that developed after the modern era with its modernism. Postmodernism is not a single understanding or a theory, but rather an umbrella of various theories that are scattered and difficult to find a single common ground. Many figures give meaning postmodernism as a continuation of modernism. But the sequel became very diverse. For Lyotard and Geldner, postmodernism is a complete break from modernism. For Derrida, Foucault and Baudrillard, postmodernism is a radical form of modernity that eventually "dies alone" because of the difficulty of uniforming various theories. For David Graffin, postmodernism is a correction of some aspects of modernism. In addition, for Giddens, postmodernism is a form of modernism that has become self-aware and wise. Finally, for Habermas, postmodernism is an unfinished stage of modernism.
