Modernism Vs Postmodernism

The document contrasts modernism with postmodernism. Modernism values purpose, hierarchy, finished works of art, and synthesis driven by transcendent ideals. Postmodernism rejects these, favoring chance, absence, dispersion, surface-level readings, and immanence over transcendence. It provides examples of postmodern cultural works and figures that exhibit randomness, irony, and difference rather than unity or higher meaning.
