Posts Modernism

This chapter made me think a lot about the media ans things that are so repeditive and show how crazy some things can be and why they are there. If this is what postmodernism is trying to say. I dont think that postmodernism pokes fun at the "in" and "now", but its more like a feedback in visual form of whats in society thats concidered hot. The now and happening is given out in a different form than just lived. Showing the people whats popular through media. Its how we progress in a way, learning what is concidered good or cool, and turning it into whatever the person wants it to be interpreted as. Some cases, poking fun can happen depending on the creater or the artist that tries to prove a point or what context its in. For example, reality tv shows like, "Who loves New York" can be looked at as post modern because it easily protrays the craziness and typical love reality tv show and obviously shows a sort of unreallness and hilarity to it. Where as Survivor might be taken differently. To me it doesnt show a progressive phenomenom because its only showing what is already concidered popular and taking to a different level of repditiveness. This doesnt grow and progrress into new ideas of things we see already but it does open the door to see what is already done and shown and becommming old to different and more diverse ideasa dncreativity. For example, like the rediculous, meaningless reality tv, theres only so far it can go with all these crazy ideas for shows before they begin to loose popularity except for the ones that are loong time and been around for years and haev meaning to people.
