– late 20th-century style and concept in the arts, architecture, and criticism, which represents a departure from modernism and is characterised by the self-conscious use of earlier styles and conventions, a mixing of different artistic styles and media, and a general distrust of theories.
Jameson:
opinionated, un-objective text
Simulacrum:
there is the real thing in the frist instance and then you have hte first representation of that ting and then the represetnation of the representation
copy removed form original grounding, becomes ordinary and worthless
Representation:
– how we communicate visual
Parody/ Pastiche:
from of representation of the past as a mode of communication
Pastiche:
negative opinion on pastiche
mode of communication,
Nostalgia:
Representation of the past is not in anyway accurate, based on stereotypes of what we interpret that time to be in order to convey the time period.
Modern examples, Peaky Blinders, Downton Abby, Mad Men, stranger things
Creates effect of nostalgia based on the objects and artefacts you associate with that time
Cultural production:
images, text, film, music etc. become embedded within capitalist production and are subject to exchange value but by doing that it disables the actual value of these things, value is embedded in capitalist production rather than the artefact itself.
Our recognition of understanding of history is fictions it just a representation of history through stereotyped imagery
Linda Hutchens, Politics of postmodernism:
Personal interpretation
not generally objective, critical analysis and criticism
Contradicts James opinion of parody and pastiche
Both talking about the same topic but Hutchens uses parody whereas Jamerson uses pastiche
What Jamerson and others place on pedestal, modernist artefacts are just phalecentric
Postmodernism in much more open to self criticality which is periodic.
Discusses Jamersons interpretation however overly positive as doesn't leave space for the possibility of criticism.
Uses architecture as an example of all post-modern art
exists to tell people how they should appreciate visual things
Jamersons idea of real history doesn't actually exists its just interpretations of event s
Post-moderism is good as it looks to constantly criticises the idea that real history isn't real
Conclusion:
Mode of representation of pastiche/parody revolves around looking to history and how this informs design today. Looking at connections within 'original' history and its representations in the modern day.
Drawing on symbols and signs of history for own purpose.
Jonathan Barnbrook:
post-modernism graphic designer, references history within his work looks at past styles to inform his designs.
Stanger and Stranger:
Informed by victorian typography and advertising, traditional modern type setting, etching.
representation of a representation.
Fraz Ferdiand:
looks at communism propaganda to inform design, representation of a former representation.
