Bricolage: the process of assembling
artefacts from bits and pieces of other things
1.Genre Cross-Over
2.recycling old forms
3.mixing high and low culture (kitsch)
Intertextuality: the multiple ways in which
a text is entangled with or contains references to other texts
Pastiche (copying in tribute) and Parody
(copying in jest)
Style over content; the image and visual
excitement over narrative coherence
Confusions over time and space; the
subversion of classical cinematic conventions; fragmented narratives;
time-bending.
Self-reflexiveness / self-referentiality:
texts that openly reflect upon their own processes of artful composition.
Metafiction: fiction that deals, often
playfully and self-referentially, with fiction and its conventions
Flattening of Affect: Technology, violence,
drugs and the media lead to detached, emotionless lives
Hyperreality: Technologically created
realities are often more authentic or desirable than the real world
Altered States: Drugs and technology
provide a darker, sometimes psychedelic, gateway to new internal realities
More Human than Human: Artificial
intelligence, robotics and cybernetics seek to enhance or replace humanity
Features of postmodern films
Pastiche
Self-referential, tongue-in-cheek, rehashes
of classic pop culture
Flattening of Affect
Technology, violence, drugs, and the media
lead to detached, emotionless,
unauthentic lives
Hyperreality
Technologically created realities are often
more authentic or desirable than the real world
Time Bending
Time travel provides another way to shape
reality and play "what if" games with society
Altered States
Drugs and technology provide a darker,
sometimes psychedelic, gateway to new internal realities
More Human than Human
Artificial intelligence, robotics, and
cybernetics seek to enhance, or replace, humanity
Postmodern ideas
We no longer have any sense of the
difference between real things and images of them, or real experiences and
simulations of them.
The distinction between media and reality
has collapsed, and we now live in a ‘reality’ defined by images and
representations – a state of simulacrum.
Postmodernism rejects the idea that any
media product or text is of any greater value than another. All judgments of
value are merely taste.
Culture ‘eats itself’ and there is no
longer anything new to produce or distribute.
All ideas of ‘the truth’ are just competing
claims – or discourses – and what we believe to be the truth at any point is
merely the ‘winning’ discourse.
Postmodern texts are said to be
intertextual and self-referential – they break the rules of realism to explore
the nature of their own status as constructed texts.
In the postmodern world, media texts make
visible and challenge ideas of truth and reality, removing the illusion that
stories, texts or images can ever accurately or neutrally reproduce reality or
truth
