Postmodernity - Philosophy and Critical Theory. Within philosophy and critical theory the use of the term "post-modernity" tends to cluster around two bodies of opinion. One argues that the modern project is completed, and that post-structuralism, specifically with anti-foundationalist ideas, must be incorporated into, or supplant, modern notions of criticism. For this group the work of Lyotard, Baudrillard, Foucault and Jameson represents a definitive reply to the modern project. In general the belief in this ra ...

The Yorkshire Post is a daily broadsheet newspaper, published in Leeds, England. The paper was founded in 1754, as the Leedes Intelligencer, making it one of Britain's first daily newspapers. Like the Scotsman, it has the look and feel of a national broadsheet, rather than a local news carrier. Its focus on international and national news puts it in the same class as the Washington Post, which nobody would think of as the district's local newspaper. In fact, without "Yorkshire" in the title, the Post could easily be mist ...

Cyclopean structures (Greek: Κυκλώπειες κατασκευές) were constructed during the prehistoric times, using a unique technique: huge stones as the building elements, minimal clearance between adjacent stones or boulders and no use of mortar. The ancient Greeks called these structures Cyclopean as they believed that only Cyclopes could have managed to built these huge structures. These stones could weigh as much as 200 tons. Each stone had a unique shape. They were built with such a p ...

A character structure is a constellation of enduring motivational and other traits that are manifested in the characteristic ways that an individual reacts to various kinds of challenges. The word "structure" indicates that these several characteristics and/or learned patterns of behavior are linked in such a way as to produce a state that can be highly resistant to change. The idea has its roots in the work of Sigmund Freud and several of his followers, the most important of whom (in this respect) are Wilhelm Reich and Erich Fromm. Among other important participants in the establis ...

Postmodernity has been said to have gone through two relatively distinct phases: the first phase beginning in the 1950's and running through the end of the Cold War, where analog dissemination of information produced sharp limits on the width of channels, and encouraged a few authoritative media channels, and the second beginning with the explosion of cable television, internetworking and the end of the Cold War and the expansion of "new media" ba ...

Postmodern philosophy - Early influences in postmodern philosophy. Postmodern philosophy originated primarily in France during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. However, it was greatly influenced by the writings of several earlier 20th century philosophers, including phenomenologists Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, structuralist Roland Barthes, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Postmodern philosophy also drew from the world of the arts, particularly Marcel Duchamp and artists who practiced collage. See also:

For some, post-modernity is degenerate modernity, the critic Theodor Adorno being a prominent example of the idea that trends of music after serialism represent the banalization of and regression from modernity. For others, post-modernity is the sign of late capitalism and the decline of identity creating metanarratives, such as nation-states. Some bands which may be considered post-modern such as Radiohead and Godspeed You! Black Emperor have indeed prese ...
