Post-modernism is a term which describes the postmodernist movement in the arts, its set of cultural tendencies and associated cultural movements. It is in general the era that follows Modernism. It frequently serves as an ambiguous overarching term for sceptical interpretations of culture, literature, art, philosophy, economics, architecture, fiction, and literary criticism. It is often associated with deconstruction and post-structuralism because its usage as a term gained significant popularity at the same time as twentieth-century post-structural thought.
In the postmodern understanding, interpretation is everything; reality only
comes into being through our interpretations of what the world means to us
individually. Postmodernism relies on concrete experience over abstract
principles, knowing always that the outcome of one's own experience will
necessarily be fallible and relative, rather than certain and universal.
