The Tradition of Postmodern Culture: The Problem of Modernity and Postmodern Pluralism

Postmodernism is a concept that is difficult to accurately conclude theoretically, and the main theorists of postmodernity are opposed to defining or regulating its doctrine in various conventional forms. At present, in many fields such as architecture, literary criticism, psychoanalysis, law, education, sociology, and political science, Yuanyan has put forward a self-contained exposition on the current postmodern situation.

Punk is postmodernism. It is the most primitive rock music, composed of a simple and pleasant main theme and three chords, after evolution, punk has gradually separated from rock and roll, becoming an independent **, punk ** is not very particular ** skills, more inclined to ideological emancipation and anti-mainstream sharp positions, this original intention in the specific historical background of the twentieth century in the United Kingdom and the United States has been actively imitated, and finally formed the punk movement.

The postmodernist style of exaggeration and implication emphasizes the integration and compatibility of the old and the new, so that the techniques and meanings involved in the postmodernist style are diverse and diverse, but they all have a common characteristic, that is, exaggeration and subtlety. The fusion of multiple ideas makes the ideas of postmodernism chaotic but not chaotic, and the tears between each thought widen, and the performance is characterized by exaggeration naturally, but inclusiveness makes this exaggeration very subtle. For example, the deformed patterns, exaggerated decorations, and irregular geometric shapes on the common fabrics in the home are all full of novelty and fashion.

2. Historical culture and symbolic metaphorsPostmodernist style expresses a large number of historical and cultural metaphors through symbols in design, and the postmodernist style is particularly rich in connotation under the nostalgic trend of thought. In the process of pursuing new trends, regardless of the integration of history and culture, this is also one of the main characteristics of the postmodern attention style.

3. Humanity and LiberalizationPostmodernism's rebellious psychology against pure rationality makes humanization and liberalization more prominent, and in the natural and elegant taste, humanization is raised to a dominant position. One of the manifestations of this is the extensive use of wrought iron in postmodernist style homes. With wrought iron as the main component, the new wrought iron crafts that integrate a variety of materials can not only make the curves and asymmetry of the lines more perfect, but also more innovative.

The so-called postmodern culture can also be called postmodernism.

Culture, post-industrial social culture, information society culture, culture of the late developed or transnational capital period, post-capitalist culture, etc., refers to an international social and cultural trend of thought that emerged in the United States in the 50s and 60s of this century, quickly swept the entire developed industrial society in the West, and rapidly penetrated into other parts of the world.

It is different from the traditional culture of the pre-industrial period in the West.

It is also different from the modernist culture of the modern industrial period. Postmodern culture is the abandonment of the former, but also the rebellion against the former, which is mainly manifested in:

First, both classical and modernist cultures (as from ancient Greece.

Epics, tragedies to modern symbolism.

Poetry, Expressionist Literature, Stream of Consciousness**.

and existentialist literature, etc.), all of which are high cultures that can only be enjoyed by a few, while postmodern culture is a culture that everyone can enjoy.

Second, classical and modernist cultures are pure cultures that are anti-commodification, while postmodern culture is a consumer culture governed by the logic of capital and commodities.

Third, classical culture and modernist culture are both highly individualized and stylized original cultures, while postmodern culture is a culture that is modeled, typed, and copied in batches with mass media means.

Fourth, both classical and modernist cultures are creations created by cultural creators after profound experience and reflection on nature, society and life, which are metaphysical.

the value of serious spiritual products; Postmodern culture, on the other hand, is a flattened product that has no in-depth experience, no sense of history, and only reflects the momentary experience of the present.

The most salient feature of postmodern culture is the subversion of absolute reason and authority.
