Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 204 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

What is Postmodernism?


Postmodernism is often viewed as a culture of quotations. Postmodernism as a concept stems from its wide usage in a range of cultural and critical movements since the 1970s. Postmodernism describes not only a period but also a set of ideas.


A few examples of postmodernism involve the media, reality television, current events, stories, perspectives, and advertisements.

    I think postmodernism also involves a lot of bizarre circumstances and has a lot to do with science fiction. Postmodernism is also about the culture we live in today, it is like a philosophical look at today's society. It examines our culture and our lifestyles and it makes people think about the future.

    I like that line, Shaquille, "a culture of quotations." Nice.
