MODERNISM
- "Make it new" was the moto of the times
- New universal truth
- Began with WWI, ends with WWII
- New form of narrative consisting of...
- unreliable narrators
- multiple narrators
- minor characters as 1st person narrators
- and stream of consciousness
POST-MODERNISM
- TV - spread of post modernism
- Post Modernism = Modernism - universal truth + irony
- There was a blending of high & low culture
- Self reference - tiger blood and such
- The Simulacrum - basically fiction becomes more real than reality.
SURREALISM
- between WWI and WWII.
- Uses unexpected juxtapositions in way intended to activate subconscious associations that highlight truths hidden from us when we are trapped in linear patterns of thought.
- joins the world of dreams and fantasy to reality to create a larger reality- 'sur-realism'
- Salvador Dali and the other guys..
..and that's the end.
